Deadpool & Wolverine: Ryan Reynolds Confirms Popular Cameo

Deadpool & Wolverine recruits Ryan Reynolds' Wrexham buddy for a cameo.

By Aaron Perine

Deadpool & Wolverine will see a surprising appearance from Rob McElhenney according to Ryan Reynolds. The Marvel actor told fans this was happening on a new video from Welcome to Wrexham. As the duo owns the Wrexham AFC operation together, it makes sense that McElhenney had to visit the set of Deadpool & Wolverine. However, in order to facilitate the meeting, Reynolds had to promise the Always Sunny In Philadelphia star a role in the MCU movie to keep him quiet. It's a fun tease for the fans. So many things are blurred out, including a lot of plot details from the Deadpool star. But, they can look forward to some sort of cameo from another fan-favorite actor now. Check out the clip down below!

"Because of my busy schedule, I had to invite my co-chair, Rob McElhenney, to the set of Deadpool in London to discuss everything Wrexham," Reynolds explains during the clip (s/o to @DeadpoolUpdates!). "And yes, I did have to promise him a role in the upcoming Deadpool film. For confidentiality reasons, no one can see or hear any of this stuff. I can't tell you which character Rob plays in Deadpool for fear of being shot down by the Marvel drone that follows me and my kids around."

Deadpool & Wolverine's Rumored Taylor Swift Cameo

While getting McElhenney in Deadpool & Wolverine is a blast, there is another slightly more famous face that fans are expecting to show up. Fandango sat down with Reynolds, Hugh Jackman and Shawn Levy to preview the MCU feature. They asked about all the chatter surrounding Taylor Swift and a possible cameo.  While the Deadpool star could not reveal anything, he's obviously very amused by all the speculation surrounding the film. So many people have been rumored to be showing up that any of them could be true really.

"Movies like this, there's so much speculation, so many people that might end up in the film," Reynolds explained. "I mean, I saw one that was convinced Elvis was in the movie. Anything could happen, and that's sort of what I love about this universe and this world. Surprises are the essence of Deadpool."
