Ollie Palmer & Paul Mullin join Ryan Reynolds in Deadpool & Wolverine! 105-goal Wrexham striker fills ‘Welshpool’ role in blockbuster film as Blake Lively also gets cameo credit

League One

Wrexham

Crawley

<p>Red Dragons frontman Palmer has confirmed that, after <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/how-ollie-palmer-blagged-way-deadpool-and-wolverine-blockbuster-wrexham-co-owner-ryan-reynolds/blte6193243ffa0c07d" target="_blank">blagging his way into the production</a>, he features in the latest blockbuster release from Marvel Studios. He is <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/has-ryan-reynolds-cast-wrexham-star-deadpool-3-ollie-palmer-frenzy-reaction-new-movie-trailer/blt75f830eb6a20aebb" target="_blank">an extra during a bar scene</a>, but his face can be spotted on screen by the eagle-eyed.</p><center></center>

WHAT HAPPENED?

<p>Mullin has been slightly more difficult to spot, as his head is covered during his brief debut as a movie star. The prolific forward, who has <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/paul-mullin-100-wrexham-goals-how-many-teams-scored-against-who-favourite-opponents/bltfa79fb08ee28a5f5" target="_blank">registered 105 goals for Wrexham</a>, plays the role of ‘Welshpool’ – one of several Deadpool alter egos that figure in the film.</p>

DID YOU KNOW?

<p>Reynolds shared a picture of the two in costume with the message: "Y<span>ou may have noticed one member of the Deadpool Corps was far deadlier than the rest. WELSHPOOL."</span></p><blockquote class="instagram-media" data-instgrm-captioned="" data-instgrm-permalink="https://www.instagram.com/p/C-AehoeRyYW/?img_index=1" data-instgrm-version="13" style=" background:#FFF; border:0; border-radius:3px; box-shadow:0 0 1px 0 rgba(0,0,0,0.5),0 1px 10px 0 rgba(0,0,0,0.15); margin: 1px; max-width:540px; min-width:326px; padding:0; width:99.375%; width:-webkit-calc(100% - 2px); width:calc(100% - 2px);">
