Ever since we first heard rumblings about Lady Deadpool (or "Ladypool" as she's referred to in the MCU) being in Deadpool & Wolverine, rumours have swirled about who will play the fan-favourite Variant.

For the longest time, singer Taylor Swift was the supposed frontrunner. There was talk of her potentially also showing up as Dazzler or herself, but Ladypool soon became the most popular claim among social media's many scoopers.

Now, with Deadpool & Wolverine playing in the UK and several other countries, we can finally reveal Ladypool's identity.

It turns out Ryan Reynolds wasn't kidding when he said Swift isn't in the movie as she doesn't appear in any way, shape or form. Instead, Green Lantern and It Ends With Us star - and Ryan Reynolds' wife - Blake Lively plays Ladypool in Deadpool & Wolverine. Wanda Wilson never unmasks and only has a few lines during the final act.
