Ryan Reynolds reveals Rob McElhenney’s cancelled ‘Deadpool & Wolverine’ cameo

Ryan Reynolds revealed that his pal and Wrexham co-owner Rob McElhenney actually had a cameo in Deadpool & Wolverine, but unfortunately it didn’t make the final cut.

“So, @robmcelhenney kindly did a cameo in D&W,” he shared on Threads.

“The sequence wasn’t working and Rob is why it stayed in the cut for so long. Even under a TVA mask, you can feel him smoldering with a raw, untapped reservoir of intensity. Don’t get me started on Wrexham. I wouldn’t know a love like that if it weren’t for Rob.”

“It feels good when friends are nearby. And even though I’m mortified he flew to London for me, I’m grateful my friend on that set. Rob shows up for people. It’s why he’s the absolute best,” Reynolds added.

The star further wrote, “Even as he begged for his life before Alioth snatched his unsuspecting body into the air, swallowing him whole, eventually digesting and converting him into Alioth-poo. RIP TVA Soldier.”

Even though McElhenney’s cameo didn’t make it to the theatres, the movie was still packed with cameos from Wesley Snipes, Jennifer Garner, Chris Evans, Channing Tatum, Matthew McConaughey and Reynolds’ wife Blake Lively.
