Deadpool and Wolverine: The insanely long list of celebrity cameos

Ryan Reynolds’s wife and kids even featured in the film


Deadpool and Wolverine already set the scene for an action-packed storyline, but little did we know how many celebrity cameos we’d see in the cinema this weekend. Not only has the film brought in $444 million in the box office so far, but both old and new fans were ecstatic at these surprising character features, and the actors who played them.

Spoilers ahead – you’ve been warned!

Of course these two beloved actors reprised their iconic roles for the movie. It seems they’re the best of friends behind the cameras too.

Also, Reynolds plays Nicepool, and Jackman plays Comic-accurate short Wolverine, Patch, Age of Apocalypse Wolverine, and Fever Dream Wolverine (strapped to the big X-cross). If you have no idea what I just said, go and watch the film.

Emma Corrin – Cassandra Nova


If you think you haven’t seen Emma Corrin before, you’re about to be proven extremely wrong: She has been in Lady Chatterley’s Lover, My Policeman (that movie you watched because Harry Styles was in it) and The Crown.

Matthew Macfayden – Mr. Paradox

Of course, Rob Delaney came back to play Peter.

Morena Baccarin – Vanessa


Morena Baccarin returned to play Vanessa, Deadpool’s fiance. In this adorable Instagram post, she’s posing with everybody’s favourite dog!

Henry Cavill – The Cavillrine (aka Wolverine if he was Henry Cavill)

Was there even a budget for this film?! Henry Cavill surprised us all.

Jon Favreau – Happy Hogan


It feels like forever since Jon Favreau starred in No Way Home, so this is one I’m HAPPY to see. Get it?

Dania Ramirez – Callisto


Dania Ramirez slayed it.

Nathan Fillion – Headpool

Nathan Fillion played one of the Deadpool variants.

Matthew McConaughey – Cowboypool

This was a fun feature I wasn’t prepared for.

Wunmi Mosaku – B-15

Blake Lively – Lady Deadpool


After much speculation about whether Blake would be featured in the film, Blake Lively KILLED this role. You go Serena Van Der Woodsen!!

Blake and Ryan’s kids also feature in the film as Screaming Mutant (James), Kidpool (Inez), and Babypool (Olin)

And they are adorable. The couple are famously private with photos of their children, so buy some tickets if you want to see their fun cameo.

Peggy the Dog plays Dogpool


It’s Peggy’s world, we’re all just living in it.
