Ryan Reynolds has released a deleted scene from Deadpool & Wolverine starring Wrexham star striker Paul Mullin.
The Welshman made a surprise cameo in the hit film, which made more than £1billion at the box office. This made it the highest-grossing R-rated movie of all time, based on the American classification for movies.
Despite the high age rating, which in the UK saw it awarded a 15 rating for "strong bloody violence and language throughout, gore and sexual references", there was a scene involving the Wrexham striker deemed too rude even for Deadpool.
Reynolds, co-owner of Wrexham, brought the striker into the film involving a scene with numerous iterations of the comic book anti-hero. Mullin's version had his costume embellished with a Welsh flag.
In the deleted scene, Deadpool can be seen getting heckled by those around him, with Mullin' dropping an expletive line at the end. The Hollywood actor shared the deleted scene on his twitter along with the caption: "This scene was deleted from the film but not my heart."

Although some fans may not have immediately spotted their player in the film, Reynolds took to social media to highlight the striker's cameo not long after the film's release, posting: "You may have not noticed one member of the Deadpool Corps was far deadlier than the rest. WELSHPOOL."
Since Mullin' appearance in the film, he has fully taken on the role as Welshpool. His player profile on the Wrexham website was updated to an image of him in a Deadpool costume and the striker also donned a Deadpool mask while celebrating a goal.
Although he has acted the part, Wrexham fans will certainly deem Mullin a real hero. In three seasons, he has scored more than 100 goals for the Welsh side and has played a key part in Wrexham's rapid rise up the football pyramid.
Mullin wasn't the only Wrexham player to make an appearance in the film. Team-mate Ollie Palmer was featured as a bartender in the background of one of the scenes.
