CONFIRMED: As per the official credits of Deadpool and Wolverine, Blake Lively is indeed playing Lady Deadpool.
There’s been a lot of speculation on who could be appearing in Deadpool and Wolverine, and a lot of fans have guessed that Lady Deadpool, who is definitely appearing in the film, is played by Ryan Reynolds’ irl wife Blake Lively.
While nothing official has been confirmed, a set photo shared by Lively is fuelling the rumors that she could have an appearance in the film. Check this out:

Of course, it’s possible that she couldn’t be appearing, but some guess it could be like a Mandalorian situation where Lady Deadpool doesn’t remove her mask, but she speaks in Lively’s voice.
With the movie expected to have cameos and appearances from characters all across Marvel’s cinematic history, an appearance from Lively as a Deadpool Variant seems like the something that could be on the everyone’s wishlist—especially Reynolds himself. I mean, he practically willed this team-up with Hugh Jackman over the past few years; even managing to get a little story out of his supposed final appearance as Wolverine in Logan.
Going back to the Deadpool variants though, we know that there’s going to be Ladypool, Headpool, Dogpool, and Kidpool. There has been a teaser of a Cowboypool in the preview, and set photos seem to confirm that there will also be a “Handsome Deadpool” played by a non-made up Ryan Reynolds in a wig.
I’ll admit, I have been worried this movie is just going to be a cameo fest like Spider-Man: No Way Home, but after the last trailer, it does look like there are real emotional stakes for both Logan and Wade.
Catch Deadpool and Wolverine when it comes to cinemas on July 26.
