In a move that surprises probably nobody, Ryan Reynolds has confirmed It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia star Rob McElhenney will have a cameo in Deadpool 3.
The news comes from the latest episode of Welcome to Wrexham, in which Reynolds revealed he and McElhenney had to have meetings about the Wrexham Football Club on the set of Deadpool 3.
During those meetings, McElhenney filmed a super secret cameo for the upcoming MCU film, which was only teased during the episode. Any footage is completely obscured and heavily blurred so as not to spoil the potential cameo.
There’s no real indicator of who the It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia star could be playing in Deadpool & Wolverine, though the options are seemingly limitless. The most obvious choice, considering the seemingly abrupt filming shown on Wrexham, would be an agent of the TVA, the bureaucratic organization from Loki that patrols the ever-diverging timeline.
But it is also a film filled with multiverse hijinks and variations galore. There is always the possibility that McElhenney is somehow playing analternate version of Deadpool— or, perhaps, evenWolverine.
Fans will have to wait to find out either way. Reynolds refused to comment on the nature of McElhenney’s cameo as well, saying: “Now, I can’t necessarily tell you which character Rob plays in Deadpool for fear of being shot down by the Marvel drone that follows me and my kids around.”
