Cinema-goers attending the screening of Deadpool & Wolverine have been met with a number of unexpected cameos throughout the much-anticipated film.

Deadpool & Wolverine, a sequel to the 2016 and 2018 Deadpool films, features Wrexham owner Ryan Reynolds as Deadpool and Hugh Jackman as Wolverine.

The film landed in UK cinemas on Thursday, July 25, and fans have been discussing the star-studded cast that includes Matthew McConaughey, who plays Cowboypool, and American actor Nathan Fillion as Headpool.

Ryan Reynolds’ wife, Blake Lively, also appears as Ladypool, a female variant of Deadpool.

Wrexham co-owner Rob McElhenney has a cameo as a TVA soldier but for many, it was the appearance of Wrexham striker Paul Mullin as Welshpool that surprised many.

Ahead of the release, Screenrant confirmed the Wrexham player would appear in this summer's movie.

“Among the army of Deadpool variants in the finale of Deadpool & Wolverine is Welshpool," they said. “The character looks the same as most other Deadpool variants, only with a giant Welsh flag painted across his chest.

“In the film, Welshpool is portrayed by Wrexham player Paul Mullin, who has made over 100 appearances for Reynolds’ club.”

In another classy gesture, Reynolds is auctioning off the gym equipment he used preparing for the film, with all proceeds going to Your Space, a Wrexham-based autism charity striker Mullin is a patron of.

Here's how fans reacted to Mullin appearing in Deadpool & Wolverine.

One wrote: "Been to a midnight screening of Deadpool and Wolverine. No spoilers from me, but there’s a cameo from Wrexham player Paul Mullin to look out for."

A second said: "Paul Mullin has had the maddest career ever the blokes gone from having a stand named after him, to being in a Deadpool film fair play."

A third commented: "As if Paul Mullin's name appeared on the end credits of the new Deadpool movie. Just spotted it as 'Welshpool'."

A fourth added: "Did anyone else notice in Deadpool and Wolverine that Paul Mullin played the welsh Deadpool?"

Mullin, who joined Wrexham from Cambridge United ahead of the 2021/22 campaign, has scored 105 goals in 129 games for the Red Dragons.

He has been pivotal in their consecutive promotion-winning campaigns, delivering match-winning moments on a regular basis. Clearly Reynolds has huge admiration for the 29-year-old, both on and off the pitch.
