Wrexham striker Paul Mullin recently made a surprising cameo appearance in the new Marvel film Deadpool & Wolverine. The 29-year-old footballer donned a mask for his role in the movie, appearing alongside various versions of the popular character Deadpool. Mullin's portrayal of the superhero featured a distinctive Wales flag on his costume, adding a unique touch to his character.
Deadpool & Wolverine, which stars Hollywood actor Ryan Reynolds, who is also a co-owner of Wrexham along with Rob McElhenney, included Mullin in a scene that caught the attention of keen-eyed viewers. Reynolds himself drew attention to Mullin's cameo by sharing a post on social media, acknowledging the Welsh influence in the character's design.
Following his appearance in the film, Wrexham updated Mullin's player profile on their website to showcase an image of him in the Deadpool costume, further solidifying his connection to the movie. Despite his newfound fame in the entertainment world, Mullin's rise in prominence has primarily been due to his exceptional performance on the football field.
Having scored over 100 goals for Wrexham over three seasons, Mullin played a crucial role in the team's consecutive promotions from the National League to League 1. His on-field contributions have endeared him to fans and solidified his reputation as a talented striker.
In a fun twist, Mullin's teammate Ollie Palmer also made an appearance in Deadpool & Wolverine, portraying a bartender in one of the scenes. The involvement of Wrexham players in the film added an extra layer of excitement for fans of both the football club and the Marvel universe.
