This cameo is just remarkable. The identity of Lady Deadpool is finally revealed in Deadpool & Wolverine, which stars Hugh Jackman and Ryan Reynolds, in case you haven’t been paying attention. And what’s hidden beneath that mask? It’s none other than Blake Lively, of course.
Although it was widely known that there were rumours Taylor Swift would be the Deadpool version from an other universe, when she shared a photo from the set on July 22, her admirers quickly abandoned that hypothesis.
After all, the actress from It Ends with Us was seen kissing her husband of 11 years, who coincidentally was dressed as a character, in the Instagram photo while donning an eye-catching crimson ensemble.
One user commented on the photo, saying, “Now we know who lady deadpool is,” while another said, “It’s time! Lady Deadpool. Another replied, “with such an incredible soundtrack and references, of course our girl blake was involved.” And Blake, you know, adored being among the Marvel’s elite in Manhattan.
“My y2k girlies,” Blake captioned the teaser shot. “I should be competitive bc @itendswithusmovie is coming out in 3 weeks BUT when your middle school obsessions, your feelings post baby, or about Nice men who use feminism as a tool, your love of the Wizard of Oz, Succession, Sandy & Danny, driving with Avril blasting, the way the choreography of a certain boy*band song got me, of Baz Luhrmann fireworks to punctuate a moment, even down to the fact that our hair color is determined by seasons and the French method by which it’s painted are all so seen… MY WORD.”
“It’s hard not to encourage my ladies to spot all the ways we’ve influenced @deadpoolmovie I’ve never been more proud,” she continued. “And I’ve given birth 4 times.” The couple then revealed the name of their fourth child together, Olin, to cap off the festivities.
