Blake Lively has confirmed that she’s the mysterious Lady Deadpool in the recently released film, Deadpool and Wolverine. Fans were earlier convinced that Blake was playing the masked superhero after her outfit at the film’s New York premiere resembled Lady Deadpool’s costume.
While fans kept speculating, Blake took to Instagram and shared character design sketches and photos of herself from the premiere, confirming that she did play Lady Deadpool. She captioned the post, “In 2010 I was on Gossip Girl and about to film my first superhero movie, The Green Lantern with my kind Canadian costar @vancityreynolds He told me, our other costar, another superhero newby @taikawaititi and all of us about @deadpoolmovie for the first time.”

She added, “It was a “meta” superhero. Most of us didn’t know what exactly meta meant back then. Except Taika bc he’s always been more brilliant than the rest of us mortals. We understood in theory, but how it would come together for an audience was murky, for everyone but him. It wasn’t a real dream. The movie was never gonna happen.”
Blake Lively continued, “Just before all this in 2010, @robliefeld drew an unmasked Lady Deadpool for the first time, go to the next slide for his words. @deadpoolmovie wasn’t real. And Rob had no idea I was working with @vancityreynolds. 12 years later I read Rob’s post. A year after that, @deadpoolmovie 3 was filmed. And today it’s in theaters. The universe has such a magical sense of humour sometimes.”
She wrote, “@slevydirect in a league of his own. On and off-screen. There will never be another. His insane body of work speaks for itself. Thank you buddy for bringing me along with you in ways big and small. What a ride you’re all in for… @deadpoolmovie IN THEATERS NOW. Xoxo. -LP ”
Fans are thrilled to learn that their guess was correct. One person wrote, “Once she wore that outfit I was convinced she was Lady Deadpool. It’s no surprise.” Another added, “This has been a long time coming .” Another added, “All the invisible strings!❤️.” One person wrote, “Our forever Lady Deadpool.” Another added, “I love all this.”
Ryan Reynolds and Hugh Jackman’s Deadpool and Wolverine was released in India this Friday amid much anticipation. The Shawn Levy directorial venture performed well at the box office and as per the latest reports, the film has minted nearly Rs 22 crore in India.
Meanwhile, News18 Showsha gave the film 4 out of 5 stars. Our review of the film read, “Much like Deadpool 2, Deadpool and Wolverine is packed with meta jokes. It’s clear Reynolds took it upon himself to make a memorable entry into the MCU. The film delivers punchlines one after another, leaving you laughing, screaming, and even emotional at times. Reynolds doesn’t keep these standout lines to himself; he shares them with every cast member and cameo, making each character memorable.”
“While a lot of time was spent developing the dialogues, it feels like the makers spent a little less time on the script. Deadpool and Wolverine also lacks depth in its plot. Although it doesn’t hit in the first half, the issue becomes more apparent in the second half, especially when the focus shifts to Wolverine. Given Wolverine’s history and fans’ emotional investment in the character, the lack of depth becomes noticeable. I wish a bit more time had been spent on his arc,” the review also mentioned.
