How the Children of Ryan Reynolds and Blake Lively Contributed to Deadpool

Ryan Reynolds wasn’t the only one involved with Deadpool & Wolverine: His and Blake Lively’s kids are also credited in the movie.

The below contains spoilers about Deadpool & Wolverine.

Ryan Reynolds and Blake Lively‘s kids are already off to a marvelous start in Hollywood.

In Deadpool & Wolverine, Ryan stars as—no surprise—Deadpool while Blake makes a masked cameo as Lady Deadpool, the female variant from an alternative universe. Meanwhile, their kids Inez, 7, and Olin, born in 2023—who are siblings to James, 9, and Betty, 4—are also credited with smaller roles in the superhero film.

ICYMI, Inez made an appearance as Kid Pool, while Olin was revealed to be Baby Pool.

Ahead of the July 22 world premiere of the Marvel movie—also starring Hugh Jackman—Ryan took the opportunity to share just how grateful he is to have such a tight knit crew.

“I want to start by saying thank you to my wife Blake, who is here,” he shared during his speech on stage. “I want to thank my kids James, Inez, Betty, Olin, who are here: I hope that, if I’m lucky, this moment will be the most traumatic thing—that is, the contents of this movie—that happens in your wondrous life.”

He added, “I love that my entire family is here.”

And if you’re wondering whether there could be a fifth member making a cameo sometime in the future, Ryan hinted that there’s always a possibility.

“The more the merrier,” Ryan recently joked to E! News in an interview. “As many as possible. As many little heartbeats as possible, just running around, wrecking stuff in the house. I love it. Let’s have more!”

And if you wondering how Blake feels, she’s already onboard, considering she’s also joked about getting pregnant with 𝚋𝚊𝚋𝚢 no. 5.

However, she is serious when it comes to supporting her husband of 11 years, especially when it comes to his latest film.

“My y2k girlies, I should be competitive bc @itendswithusmovie is coming out in 3 weeks BUT,” she wrote alongside a July 22 Instagram photo of them kissing on set, “when your middle school obsessions, your feelings post 𝚋𝚊𝚋𝚢, or about Nice men who use feminism as a tool, your love of the Wizard of Oz, Succession, Sandy & Danny, driving with Avril blasting, the way the choreography of a certain boy*band song got me, of Baz Luhrmann fireworks to punctuate a moment, even down to the fact that our hair color is determined by seasons and the French method by which it’s painted are all so seen… MY WORD.”

As the Gossip Girl alum noted, “It’s hard not to encourage my ladies to spot all the ways we’ve influenced @deadpoolmovie I’ve never been more proud. And I’ve given birth 4 times.”

Deadpool & Wolverine is in theaters now.

Keep reading for a look back at what Blake and Ryan have said about being a family of six.

This Will Make Your Head Spin

“I have seen Frozen with my daughters so, so many times and people don’t know this, but if you play Frozen backwards, it’s actually a shot for shot remake of The Exorcist,” Reynolds joked on The Ellen DeGeneres Show in 2018.

Fun Uncle

On Dec. 15, 2016, Reynolds and Lively debuted their daughters James and Inez for the first time, at the actor’s Hollywood Walk of Fame Ceremony (a common setting for notoriously private celebrities to introduce the world to their kids). During his speech, Reynolds said to his wife, “You make everything better—absolutely everything in my life better. You’ve given us two of the most incredible children that I could ever hope to have. You’ve made me the father of my dreams when I thought I only had fun uncle potential.”

Best Thing Ever

In August 2016, before the birth of the couple’s second daughter, Reynolds told E! News, “There’s nothing on earth more grounding than having a 𝚋𝚊𝚋𝚢. It’s the best thing that could ever happen to someone.”

The Messy Side

“It’s tough when you get pooped on and barfed on, but having a 𝚋𝚊𝚋𝚢 is wonderful,” the proud mama told NW Magazine in 2016. “Even when it’s tough and I’m exhausted, I think, ‘I am so fortunate.'”

A Bullet for Baby

During a visit to the Late Show with David Letterman in 2015, Reynolds gushed about his marriage and his daughter, but made sure viewers knew who was more important. “‘I would take a bullet for you. I could never love anything as much as I love you.’ I would say that to my wife. And the second I looked in that 𝚋𝚊𝚋𝚢’s eyes, I knew in that exact moment that if we were ever under attack, I would use my wife as a human shield to protect that 𝚋𝚊𝚋𝚢.”

The Joys of Fatherhood

In tradition with his dark sense of humor, Reynolds shared this little parenting joke with his Twitter followers in 2016: “Being a father is the single greatest feeling on earth. Not including those wonderful years I spent without a child, of course.”

Daddy’s Dirty Work

“I always do the dirty work,” Reynolds said on NBC’s Today show in 2016. “I’m happy to do the dirty work. So does she, but I’m always, I love getting up in the middle of the night, I’m fine with that, you know, all that stuff.”

Fatherhood, he said, has been “amazing.”

Morning Duties

“I had one of those mornings, rare mornings, where my daughter just didn’t want me to leave—and it was only because my wife was asleep,” Reynolds said in 2016. “But it was like, you didn’t want to go. You just like, it 𝓀𝒾𝓁𝓁s you.”

There’s Dad!

“You know, what was really weird was, we were watching the Super Bowl and my daughter saw it and she totally recognized me. There was like 12 of me, which is just like, to her, was like 24 useless boobs,” Reynolds said in 2016. “She was so not impressed. She was like, ‘Eh, whatever.'”

Becoming A Big Kid

“Damn it’s hard letting your infant daughter go somewhere alone for the first time, I was a total mess dropping her off at Burning Man,” Ryan joked to his Twitter followers in 2016.
