Introducing the Deadpool Variants

The third installment in the "Deadpool" franchise, "Deadpool & Wolverine," directed by Shawn Levy, centers around Reynolds' Wade Wilson/Deadpool teaming up with Hugh Jackman's Logan/Wolverine for an epic adventure. As Deadpool and Wolverine attempt to save Deadpool's universe from extinction, they encounter a problem when Mr. Paradox (Matthew Macfadyen) sends them to a desolate wasteland called The Void. Through a collaboration with notable Marvel characters, the duo is able to return to Deadpool's universe and continue their mission, only to be followed by 100 Deadpool variants from The Void. These variants, played by various actors, including members of Reynolds' own family, engage in a thrilling fight sequence.

Among the Deadpool variants is a female version called Ladypool, portrayed by Blake Lively. While Ladypool's identity is never fully revealed, she does have a few speaking lines, and Lively's name is credited in the film. Lively and Reynolds have four children together – daughters named James, Inez, Betty, and Olin – and three of them have cameo roles in "Deadpool & Wolverine."

In the film, Ladypool has a baby, aptly named Babypool, who is played by the couple's youngest child, Olin. Additionally, Lively and Reynolds' eldest daughter, 9-year-old James, portrays Kidpool and has a line in the movie. Inez, another of their daughters, also has a small part as a screaming mutant. While Betty, the couple's third daughter, doesn't have a role in the film, Reynolds recently revealed that she "sort of loves Hugh, like unconditionally" and "expresses that love through unblinking violence," attacking Wolverine.

A Family Affair on the Red Carpet

At the New York premiere of "Deadpool & Wolverine," Reynolds took the opportunity to acknowledge his family's involvement in the film. "I want to start by saying thank you to my wife Blake, who is here," he said on stage. "I want to thank my kids James, Inez, Betty, Olin, who are here: I hope that, if I'm lucky, this moment will be the most traumatic thing — that is, the contents of this movie — that happens in your wondrous life."The inclusion of Reynolds and Lively's children in "Deadpool & Wolverine" not only adds a personal touch to the film but also showcases the family's deep connection to the Marvel universe. As fans delve into the movie, they'll be treated to the unexpected delight of spotting these cameo appearances, adding an extra layer of excitement and intrigue to the on-screen action.
