Deadpool & Wolverine was a family affair for the Reynolds-Lively crew!
While Ryan Reynolds stars in the latest Marvel film and Blake Lively has a cameo of her own, all four of the couple's children — daughters James, 9, Inez, 7, and Betty, 4, plus son Olin, 1 — also had some involvement in the comic book project as well.
To kick off the kid cameos, Reynolds, 47, and Lively's eldest child James took on the role of a "Screaming Mutant," per IMDB.

In that same scene, another character describes her as the "dirtiest" of the different Deadpools featured in the film.
Additionally, Reynolds and Lively's youngest, Olin, is credited as "Babypool" in the film. The character even inspired a collectible exclusive Regal popcorn bucket, which shows the infant decked out in Deadpool gear just like Reynolds himself.

Reynolds and Lively's 4-year-old daughter Betty also has her work featured in Deadpool & Wolverine, though she doesn't appear to get any screen time.
Per a TikTok of the film's credits shared on Saturday, July 27, Betty is credited as "Hugh Jackman Wrangler: Betty Reynolds."
And while no specifics were given about what exactly it means to wrangle the Wolverine actor, 55, Betty's gig surely makes sense given her connection to Jackman.
Speaking with PEOPLE at the movie’s premiere at the David H. Koch Theater in New York City earlier this month, Reynolds revealed that Betty "sort of loves Hugh, like unconditionally."
"And she expresses that love through unblinking violence," he added. "So she attacks him, thinking she has claws and he has a healing factor — which he might."

Beyond the kids, Lively, 36, also appears in the film as Ladypool/Lady Deadpool — another Deadpool character who, as she shared in an Instagram caption, was initially created and based on her over a decade ago.
Rob Liefeld — the comic book artist who co-created Deadpool — came up with a Lady Deadpool in 2010 and based her off Lively, since he was a fan of Gossip Girl.
In 2022, Lively spotted an Instagram post from Liefeld where he explained the inspiration behind the character. "12 years later I read Rob’s post. A year after that, @deadpoolmovie 3 was filmed," she wrote. "And today it’s in theaters. The universe has such a magical sense of humor sometimes."
Lively concluded her post's caption by describing Deadpool & Wolverine director Shawn Levy as someone "in a league of his own." (The film marks Levy's first directorial go at the Deadpool series, but he's previously worked with Reynolds before on Free Guy.)
"On and off screen. There will never be another," Lively wrote. "His insane body of work speaks for itself. Thank you buddy for bringing me along with you in ways big and small."
Deadpool & Wolverine is in theaters now.
