Deadpool & Wolverine is in cinemas now, and features a moving dedication to ‘Henry Delaney’ during the end credits.
Deadpool 3is here, meaning ourDeadpool & Wolverine reviewis live, where we wrote that the movie is: “a must-see MCU experience; giddy, gruesome, and more emotional than you’d expect. Its issues play second fiddle to the nostalgia and shameless joy you’ll feel in the cinema.”
The film features apost-credits scene, as well as asecret message in those creditsthat you might have missed.
But there’s also a dedication to Henry Delaney, who isn’t a member of the movie’s cast but does connect to one of the stars of Deadpool 3.
Who is Henry Delaney?
Henry Delaney was Rob Delaney‘s(Peter in Deadpool 2 and Deadpool & Wolverine) son.
The dedication says ‘For Henry Delaney’ at the tail-end of the movie’s credits.

At the time of his death, Rob posted an emotional tribute to his boy on Facebook, writing: “His drive to live and to love and to connect was profound. I am astonished by the love-in-action displayed by Henry’s mom and his brothers.
They are why I will endeavor to not go mad with grief. I don’t want to miss out on their beautiful lives. I’m greedy for more experiences with them.”
Right as we finished Deadpool 2. I’ve always kicked my own ass because I didn’t place a tribute to Henry over the end credits of [Deadpool 2]. If there’s a bright side, even more people are seeing Henry’s name in the credits of Deadpool & Wolverine. And at long last, father and son are sharing the same screen.”
