Ryan Reynolds reveals a major cameo in Deadpool 3 after several have been confirmed. The reveal comes as anticipation builds for the much-hyped Marvel movie.
Reynolds has confirmed that It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia‘s Rob McElhenney, his Wrexham co-chair, will make a cameo appearance in the upcoming film Deadpool & Wolverine according to Total Film. The revelation came during a new episode of their Disney+ show Welcome to Wrexham. Reynolds, who stars as Wade Wilson in the Deadpool series, teased McElhenney’s cameo while discussing their busy schedules. “Because of my busy schedule, I had to invite my co-chair, Rob McElhenney, to the set of Deadpool in London to discuss all things Wrexham. And, yes, I did have to promise him a role in the upcoming Deadpool film.”
‘Oh, By the Way…’: Hugh Jackman Surprised Agent With Deadpool & Wolverine Casting
Hugh Jackman says the impulse to make Deadpool & Wolverine was so compelling that he committed to the project without consulting his agent.
The episode humorously depicted Reynolds and McElhenney on set, with much of the footage blurred for confidentiality. Reynolds, seen in costume and covered in fake blood, remarked, “There’s blood all over me,” suggesting a typical day on the Deadpool & Wolverine set. Director Shawn Levy also appeared in the background. Reynolds playfully avoided revealing McElhenney’s specific role, joking about the secrecy enforced by Marvel.
“Now, I can’t necessarily 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,” he quipped. However, he did hint at a potential role for McElhenney as a TVA agent, a popular guess among fans.
Several Cameos Confirmed For Deadpool & Wolverine
Cameos in Deadpool 3 feature prominent superhero actors from past films, including Jennifer Garner reprising her role as Elektra. Additionally, the trailer has confirmed appearances by former X-Men actors, such as Aaron Stanford as Pyro and Kelly Hu as Deathstrike. Given these significant returns, it is likely that McElhenney’s cameo, if not as a TVA agent, will be a minor one.
