Has Ryan Reynolds cast a Wrexham star in Deadpool 3?! Ollie Palmer sends social media into a frenzy with reaction to new movie trailer

Hollywood actor Reynolds is preparing for the big release of the latest offering from the Marvel film franchise in which he stars, with Deadpool and Wolverine due to hit cinemas on July 26. He has been teasing trailers for that production on social media.

Alongside one of those clips, Reynolds has said: “Found the guy who killed Bambi’s mom.” That comment drew an “if you squint” response from Wrexham striker Palmer – with it now being suggested that the 32-year-old striker enjoys a cameo appearance.

In one scene, a tall man with dark hair and a distinctive beard can be spotted in the bar being attended by Deadpool. The character in question bears a striking resemblance to Wrexham frontman Palmer – who has grown close to Reynolds since moving to SToK Racecourse in January 2022.

Palmer can often been seen laughing and joking with Reynolds and Rob McElhenney in the Welcome to Wrexham documentary and may have been rewarded for his efforts on the field with a blockbuster movie role – with the Red Dragons heading to League One in 2024 after securing back-to-back promotions.
