Wrexham striker Paul Mullin has made an appearance in Ryan Reynolds’ latest film.
The 29-year-old, who made his Wrexham debut in 2021, appeared as Welshpool, a Welsh version of Deadpool, in the latest Marvel movie Deadpool & Wolverine.
Mullin has made 122 appearances for the Red Dragons and has scored 88 goals in the last three years.
In a post on X, Reynolds said: “You may have noticed one member of the Deadpool Corps was far deadlier than the rest. WELSHPOOL.”
But Mullin wasn’t the only Wrexham AFC player to make an appearance as teammate Ollie Palmer also cameoed as a bar goer.
