Exciting Cameo for Deadpool 3
In the recent episode of ‘Welcome to Wrexham', Reynolds announced the addition of Rob McElhenney to the cast list of Deadpool 3. This news was greeted with wide enthusiasm, given McElhenney's remarkable performance in FX's It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia and AppleTV+'s Mythic Quest. Fans anticipate his cameo to add a brilliant touch to the already beloved franchise.
McElhenney's appearance on the Deadpool set in London was teased in the Welcome to Wrexham episode, with the actor wearing an oversized jacket designed to hide his secret costume. The set was heavily censored and blurred to maintain the surprise element, much to the chagrin and anticipation of fans worldwide.
A Warm Welcome on Set
Shawn Levy, the director, was pictured in the footage looking thrilled to have McElhenney on board. However, Reynolds was unable to disclose McElhenney's character in Deadpool 3 amidst fears of breaking the ‘Marvel drone' rules.
More than just a cameo, the episode had the duo discussing various matters related to Wrexham, including a celebration of a fan's 100th birthday. Good news followed for fans of the series as the sports documentary was recently renewed for a fourth season.
Reynolds and McElhenney: More than Just Television Stars
Reynolds and McElhenney's venture into the sports arena started when they purchased the Welsh football club, Wrexham AFC, which was battling hard times. Their joint venture, RR McReynolds, turned things around for the club, leading it to clinch a National League championship and secure promotion to League Two.
Their philanthropic venture didn't stop there; the actors also bought a minority stake in Club Necaxa and were part of an investment group that purchased a 24% equity stake in the Alpine F1 Team.
Bringing it All Together
While fans will have to wait until July 26, 2024, to see Deadpool & Wolverine in theaters, the involvement of Reynolds and McElhenney both on and off the silver screen is indeed a boost to the club and the film. Their participation as active contributors to the Wrexham operations and their upcoming roles in Deadpool 3 confirm that viewers and followers can anticipate exciting times ahead.
