The prolific goal-scorer is set to make a surprise appearance in the highly anticipated film “Deadpool 3,” starring Ryan Reynolds and Hugh Jackman, who reprise their iconic roles as Deadpool and Wolverine.
Reynolds, who co-owns Wrexham AFC with fellow actor Rob McElhenney, has been a driving force behind the club’s resurgence, making them a global sensation.

Mullin’s involvement in the film has been kept under wraps, but sources suggest that his role will be a fun nod to Wrexham’s growing popularity under Reynolds’ ownership.
Mullin, who played a pivotal role in Wrexham’s promotion to the English Football League, is excited about his unexpected Hollywood cameo. “It’s surreal to be part of something so massive,” Mullin said. “Ryan is always coming up with crazy ideas, and this was one of those that I just couldn’t say no to.”
Fans of both Wrexham AFC and the Deadpool franchise are eager to see how Mullin will fit into the chaotic and comedic world of Deadpool, with many speculating that his appearance could include some clever football references. With Reynolds and Jackman at the helm, Mullin’s cameo promises to add another layer of fun to a movie already brimming with star power and fanfare.
This unexpected crossover between Hollywood and football is yet another testament to the unique and exciting atmosphere Reynolds and McElhenney have brought to Wrexham, cementing the club’s place not just in sports history but in pop culture as well.
