Further specials around Deadpool and Wolverine look at the chances of 'Welcome to Wrexham' stars appearing in the movie
With Deadpool actor Ryan Reynolds a co-owner of Wrexham, bookies are also offering betting odds on potential stars of documentary series 'Welcome to Wrexham' appearing in the upcoming Deadpool movie.
Wrexham's star striker Paul Mullin is the betting favourite at 4/1 to appear in the film with fellow striker Ollie Palmer's odds now suspended after eagle-eyed fans claimed to spot him in one of the latest teaser trailers.
Actor Rob McElhenney is also co-owner of Wrexham Football Club and it could be that he appears in the latest Deadpool movie but bookies say there's just an 11.1% chance he does.
| To appear in Deadpool 3 | Odds | Probability |
|---|---|---|
| Paul Mullin | 4/1 | 20.0% |
| Rob McElhenney | 8/1 | 11.1% |
| Ben Foster | 8/1 | 11.1% |
| Shaun Harvey | 10/1 | 9.1% |
| Wayne Jones | 10/1 | 9.1% |
Wrexham forward Ollie Palmer could have been spotted in the latest trailer for Deadpool and Wolverine
Ollie Palmer has made hints that he was in the trailer of Deadpool and Wolverine after Wrexham fans said they could spot him in the background behind the main characters.
Palmer replied to Reynolds post of the trailer on Instagram saying, "If you squint..." and has since reportedly said that it is him that is seen in the trailer.
We will not know for certain until we see the movie up on the big screen but it is expected that we will see some sort of cameo from a Wrexham player and this could be it.
