‘Deadpool and Wolverine’ is currently causing a sensation. Since its release, numerous clips and fan comments have circulated about the movie. However, what has captured the most attention are the cameos of actors who were part of the early days of the Marvel Cinematic Universe. This has caused a great stir on social media, where fans are continuously debating these highlighted moments.
Although Ryan Reynolds, Hugh Jackman, and Shawn Levis have kept discretion about the cast of the film, the end credits surprised the followers. At the end of the film, it can be seen that the actor behind Nicepool is Gordon Reynolds, who would be the twin brother of the protagonist. This revelation has raised doubts and controversy over Gordon’s existence, especially wanting to know more about Deadpool’s mysterious relative.
Does Ryan Reynolds have a twin brother?
The truth is that Ryan Reynolds does not have a twin brother; Gordon Reynolds was born as part of the actor’s alter ego. However, Reynolds decided to credit his creation in the film, but both Nicepool and Deadpool have been portrayed by the same celebrity. Likewise, this role-playing has received applause from fans loyal to the comics, who claim that Reynolds was born to be Marvel’s mercenary.
The Story of Gordon Reynolds
The story behind the name dates back to 2016 when the Green Lantern actor appeared in a self-interview for GQ. Reynolds created the character named Gordon Reynolds, who interviewed himself at that time.
During the interview, Ryan felt offended by a question from his alter ego and left the show angry. In recent years, Gordon has reappeared on screen to promote Ryan’s gin brand.
Who is Nicepool?
According to the comics, Nicepool is one more from the Deadpool multiverse, along with Ladypool, Kidpool, Dogpool, among others. Likewise, Nicepool is one of the kinder versions of Deadpool. Although he appears only a couple of times in the movie, he recognizes and praises Wade Wilson’s Deadpool for his efforts in fighting evil.
However, despite being an important figure in that universe, this character does not possess the same mutant powers as the others, which is why in the movie, the Marvel anti-hero uses him as a shield to defend himself from others’ bullets, ultimately leading to the character’s demise.
