All The Cameos In ‘Deadpool 2,’ Confirmed Alive Characters, Plus One Actor From The MCU You Missed

**Massive Spoilers ahead for “Deadpool 2″** This weekend brought us the return of the hard-R, rapid-fire joke machine superhero, Deadpool. And it made megabucks, but unfortunately did not outgross the first film’s opening weekend. Oh well, I’m sure 20th Century Fox isn’t crying about a worldwide opening north of $300 million. Much like the incredibly popular first film, “Deadpool 2” is jam-packed with comedy, pop-culture references, and cameos. While some get more screen time than others, the abundance of A-list Hollywood actors that the film has roundup is quite impressive. From the X-Force to two of the biggest actors in all of Hollywood, here are all the “Deadpool 2” cameos that you may or may not have missed.

Rob Delaney
Let’s start off with probably the most obvious of them all, Rob Delaney. The actor-comedian-writer who’s tweets often reflect those of a Midwestern Dad fit’s the bit perfectly, playing Peter, the decidedly non-super member of X-Force. Unfortunately, Peter doesn’t make it very far in the mission to defeat Cable, thanks to another X-Force member Zeitgeist. However, writers Rhett Reese and Paul Wernick recently said that the post-credits in “Deadpool 2” are canon and Peter (and Vanessa for that matter) will return for an adventure in the future.

Bill Skarsgård
The aforementioned Zeitgeist is played by none other than Bill Skarsgård. Skarsgård, who is well-known for his portrayal of our favorite shape-shifting poltergeist Pennywise in “IT,” thankfully isn’t tormenting any children in this movie. However, he is responsible for Peter’s death, due to Peter getting covered in his acid-spit before getting sucked into a woodchipper. Fun fact: Skarsgård’s character, Zeitgeist, appeared in the “X-Force” comic series only one time, where he was the new leader of the team and led his group into a mission where they all immediately died.

Brad Pitt
Thanks to the spoils of the internet, many of us were aware Brad Pitt was going to make an appearance. What we didn’t know was that we wouldn’t be able to see him. Pitt, as you know by now, portrays the Vanisher in “Deadpool 2” and is invisible for the majority of his “screen time.” This is a blink-and-you-miss-it cameo, as the only time that you actually see Pitt’s face is while he’s being electrocuted by a power line. Apparently, it’s only 8 frames of footage, it looks seven minutes to film and Pitt would do only do if Ryan Reynolds would buy him a latte. Done and done. Fun fact: “Deadpool 2” director David Leitch was Pitt’s stunt double for many years and specifically on “Mr. & Mrs. Smith,” so that’s part of the reason Pitt agreed to the role.

Terry Crews
Terry Crews was able to fulfill his dreams of being in a superhero movie by playing X-Force member Bedlam. Bedlam can control the electrochemical responses in other peoples’ brain, meaning that he can make people feel pain or anxiety. Unfortunately for him, his powers don’t help him when operating a parachute, as he flies into a bus windshield and dies. In the recent Empire spoiler special, Reynolds confirmed Bedlam is dead and will stay dead because there’s already such a big cast and, believe it or not, it’s hard to afford Crews since the “Deadpool” budgets are much lower than the average superhero movie.

The X-Men 
Yes, again, you read that correctly, the X-Men make an appearance…FINALLY. The real team that is, not Colossus and the gang that only appears in the “Deadpool” universe. Deadpool has been roaming around the X-Mansion wondering where everyone else is, much like the audience did in the first film. This time around, though, as Deadpool cracks yet another joke about how Colossus and Negasonic Teenage Warhead are the only X-Men who are ever around, we see a room FULL of iconic characters in the background, who subsequently close the door to make sure that Deadpool doesn’t find them in the next room. The X-Men in the other room include Evan Peters‘ Quicksilver, Nick Hoult’s Beast, Alexandra Shipp’s Storm, James McAvoy’s Professor X, and Kodi Smit–McPhee’s Nightcrawler and Tye Sheridan’s Cyclops. However, none of them were actually there. “X-Men: Dark Phoenix” was shooting around the same time and Simon Kinberg and the producers were kind enough to shoot a quick shot on a “plate” that the Deadpool filmmakers then CGI’d into the scene.

Alan Tudyk 
As Cable arrives in the present day to set out on his mission, his first encounter is with two “rednecks” sitting on the back of a truck, in the middle of a field, having a conversation about how to achieve a thorough cleanse using a combination of toilet paper and wet wipes. The redneck on the right, officially titled “Redneck #2,” is none other than Alan Tudyk. Why Tudyk and why such a small moment? Who knows.
