Who plays Ladypool in ‘Deadpool & Wolverine’? Everything to know about the A-list cameo

The titular duo encounter Deadpool variants when they’re sent to The Void, a metaphysical junkyard where the TVA sends people they want to dispose of. Deadpool and Wolverine first meet Dogpool, a dog variant, and her extra-kind owner, Nicepool (played by Reynolds), in The Void.

When Deadpool returns to his universe via a portal, the variants, collectively known as Deadpool Corps, follow him and start attacking. Ladypool leads the pack, which includes Babypool, Kidpool, Headpool, and Cowboypool.

Deadpool and Wolverine fight the Deadpool Corps to the tune of Madonna’s “Like a Prayer.” They only stop once Deadpool’s friend named Peter (Rob Delaney) arrives in a Deadpool costume. Apparently, Deadpool has a Peter in every universe, and he’s beloved. The variants quickly abandon their fight and gather to embrace — giving Deadpool and Wolverine the perfect opening to escape and focus on their mission.

Lively has a few lines during her cameo but never takes off her mask to reveal her face. However, she’s listed as Ladypool in the film credits. She’s not the only member of Reynolds’ family who plays a Deadpool variant: Babypool and Kidpool are played by Lively and Reynolds’ daughters Olin and Inez, respectively. Their eldest daughter, James, also has a small role as a screaming mutant.

Fans suspected that Lively was Ladypool before ‘Deadpool & Wolverine’ hit theaters

Speculation ramped up on Monday when Lively showed up to the New York City premiere of “Deadpool & Wolverine” wearing her hair in a high ponytail and dressed in a red custom Versace bodysuit reminiscent of Ladypool’s outfit.

That day, Lively also shared a video montage of scenes from the “Deadpool” movies that were inspired by millennial pop culture icons, from Avril Lavigne and *NSYNC to “Frozen” and “Harry Potter.”

“Tell me Deadpool’s married to a millennial girl in real life without telling me,” she said in a video posted on Instagram, which featured a montage of pop culture references.

“It’s hard not to encourage my ladies to spot all the ways we’ve influenced @deadpoolmovie I’ve never been more proud. And I’ve given birth 4 times. 🤣” she captioned the post.
