Wrexham striker Paul Mullin appears in Deadpool

Wrexham AFC striker Paul Mullin has made an unexpected appearance in “Deadpool & Wolverine,” the Marvel comic book film.

In a surprise cameo, Mullin portrays Welshpool—a Welsh version of Ryan Reynolds’ character, Deadpool.

“You may have noticed one member of the Deadpool Corps was far deadlier than the rest. WELSHPOOL,” said Ryan Reynolds on X, formerly known as Twitter.

Welshpool appears late in the movie, during a sequence which sees hoards of Deadpool variants together on screen.

Welshpool’s costume is adorned with prominent Welsh flags across the chest and shoulders.

At one point during the film, the camera pauses to highlight the character in an obvious nod to Reynolds’ newfound Welsh connection.

“Clearly I was the only Welcome to Wrexham fan in my theatre, because there were some LOOKS when I exclaimed ‘WREXPOOL!’ and ‘Super Paul Mullin!’,” said one fan on X.
