*Minor spoiler warning for Deadpool and Wolverine*
With Deadpool and Wolverine now out, I think there was one question probably ringing out in the heads of everyone watching - “Wait, how the f**k did they hide all these cameos?”
The film has a truly wild collection of cameos from some of the biggest names around, including massive Marvel returns.

But don’t worry, we’ll save that for another day.
One sequence, however, that was seemingly full of cameos, but harder to figure out who is who, is the Deadpool corp arriving and getting in a scrap with Deadpool and Logan.
This includes Lady Deadpool, which was widely speculated to be Blake Lively, Ryan Reynolds himself, or even Taylor Swift.

Two of the Deadpool variants in the film, however, are Kidpool and Babypool.
Kidpool has a few lines and Babypool… well is a baby, so they just kind of make noises at them.
There was a great deal of speculation of Kidpool being played by Percy Jackson star Walker Scobell, who'd previously worked with Shawn Levy and Reynolds on The Adam Project, but he didn’t end up appearing.
Instead, it was a family affair, as if you look in the credits Kidpool and Babypool were played by Blake Lively and Reynolds’s kids.

Kidpool is played by their seven-year-old Inez Reynolds, whilst Babypool is played by Olin Reynolds, who is just one.
Bad luck for James and Betty Reynolds, their other two kids, as they clearly didn’t make the cut.
They are not the only members of the family to make a cameo though.
After much speculation, the credits do confirm that Lively does indeed voice Lady Deadpool - though she did not provide the body work for the role and her face isn’t shown.

One fan posted on X to say: “Blake Lively being Lady Deadpool is hilarious though I wish it was Taylor Swift.”
As someone who writes articles about films for a living, I also wish it had been Taylor Swift.
While another fan said: “Blake Lively was Lady Deadpool omfggggg.”
A third fan went as far as to call for a spin-off starring Blake Lively.
They said: “Yeah, I'm going to need a Blake Lively Lady Deadpool movie ASAP.”

This isn’t the only cameo though, as Matthew McConaughey plays ‘Cowboypool’ - which is exactly what it sounds like.
At this point, if you told me I was in Deadpool & Wolverine then I may have to believe you as it seems likely quite literally everyone is in the film.
Except Taylor Swift unfortunately.
