If fans are expecting nothing more than superhero cameos in the upcoming Deadpool & Wolverine, Ryan Reynolds is here to set the record straight. It seems that the film is not just relying on the tried-and-true formula of superhero appearances for success, but also drawing from Reynolds' personal connections. Thus, amidst widespread speculation about a potential Rob McElhenney cameo, fans' suspicions have been confirmed with the recent announcement via Welcome to Wrexham. 

The update was confirmed in the latest episode of Welcome to Wrexham, a creation by Reynolds and McElhenney.

Deadpool & Wolverine is not just carrying the weight of the MCU's resurgence but is also breaking new ground. While the prospect of Taylor Swift appearing alongside Ryan Reynolds in the upcoming MCU film remains unconfirmed, another close friend of Reynolds, Rob McElhenney, has already been confirmed for a cameo. In a recent episode of Welcome to Wrexham, Reynolds revealed that he had promised a role to McElhenney in Deadpool & Wolverine, although he could not disclose any details.

The episode, aired on May 23rd, featured Reynolds admitting that he had invited McElhenney to the set of Deadpool & Wolverine in London “to discuss all things that are Wrexham.” In gratitude for his efforts, Reynolds promised McElhenney a cameo in the upcoming film. Most of the scenes were blurred out, accompanied by a disclaimer stating “Deadpool Censored Material” at the top of the screen. However, there was an uncensored scene in a trailer where the two were sitting.

During this trailer scene, a glimpse into McElhenney’s character in the forthcoming Deadpool & Wolverine could have been discerned, but the creators were careful to preserve the cinematic surprise

In the trailer scene, Ryan Reynolds appeared clad in Deadpool's iconic red and black spandex, while Rob McElhenney sported a jacket pulled snugly up to his neck. As they discussed Wrexham, McElhenney amusingly mentioned his inability to reveal any details about his outfit because of potential spoilers. Reflecting on the discomfort of his zipped-up jacket, McElhenney quipped about how surprisingly comfortable making superhero movies can be.

Taking the jest further, Reynolds expressed appreciation for McElhenney's involvement in Deadpool & Wolverine, injecting his trademark humor by humorously noting how McElhenney has never invited him to participate in It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia, Mythic Quest, his podcast, or any other projects. While their banter followed their usual exchange of witty remarks, one notable outcome was a subtle confirmation of McElhenney's cameo in Deadpool & Wolverine.
