"Deadpool & Wolverine"
"Deadpool & Wolverine" is a comedy trip through the multiverse, where Wade Wilson (Ryan Reynolds) meets many variants of himself, the weirdest being Headpool.
Headpool is an undead head from the "Marvel Zombies" universe. His voice actor is the beloved Nathan Fillion, who some will recognize as Captain Mal Reynolds in "Firefly.”
Fillion was seen in the MCU three times before playing Headpool. He appeared in all of the "Guardians of the Galaxy" films, playing a different character in each one.
In the first, Fillion voiced a blue alien incarcerated at the Kyln. In "Vol. 2," he appeared in a cameo as actor Simon Williams, but his scene was deleted.
In "Vol. 3," Fillion got his biggest "Guardians" role as Karja, head of security for the biotech company OrgoCorp. It’s the only MCU movie where you see Fillion's face.
Fillion's cameos came about because he's buddies with "Guardians of the Galaxy" director James Gunn. He also appeared as T.D.K. in "The Suicide Squad.”
