Dogpool, who was played by Britain's Ugliest Dog competition winner, Peggy, stole the show. In The Void, she belonged to Nicepool. While many of the Deadpool characters were voiced by other actors, Nicepool was one of the few who was unmasked, and he was also played by Reynolds. In the film, the character was credited as being played by Reynolds' fake twin, Gordon.

Lady Deadpool AKA Ladypool

Recently, folks got a look at Lady Deadpool in the film's final trailer, and speculation continued about her identity. Theories ranged from Taylor Swift to Ryan Reynolds in a wig. Many others thought the character would be played by Reynolds' real-life wife, Blake Lively, and that ended up being true. However, the character was never unmasked, we only ever heard Lively's voice. That ended up being the case for most of the Deadpool variants.

Lively wasn't the only member of Reynolds' family to play a Deadpool variant in the film. Kidpool was voiced by their daughter, Inez Reynolds, and Babypool was played by their most recent addition, Olin Reynolds. Many speculated Kidpool would be played by Percy Jackson star, Walker Scobell, who played a young version of Reynolds in The Adam Project. However, the young star did not show up in the film.

Cowboy Deadpool

One of the most recognizable voices in the film was that of Cowboy Deadpool AKA Cowboypool. The role was played by none other than Oscar-winner, Matthew McConaughey. Fans have thrown the actor's name around for Marvel roles for years, so many will be delighted that he finally entered the universe.

Headpool

The floating Deadpool head has seen better days, but the chatty skull is still able to put up a fight in the new movie. In case you missed it, the character was voiced by an actor who is no stranger to Marvel: Nathan Fillion. Recently, the actor appeared as Master Karja in Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3.

Reynolds can't make a movie without paying tribute to his home country, Canada. You'll spot a Canadian Deadpool in the film, and the character is voiced by stunt performer Alex Kyshkovych. Reynolds is also an owner of the Wrexham A.F.C football club, so he had to honor them with Welshpool, who was voiced by one of the soccer team's players, Paul Mullin.
