Deadpool & Wolverine: It Is Love At First Sight With Wade and Dogpool

Deadpool & Wolverine star Ryan Reynolds talks about how love is at first sight for Wade and Dogpool and how Dogpool got a bigger role in the film.

We're going to be seeing some familiar and some new faces in Deadpool & Wolverine in July. Marvel is keeping a fair amount of this film close to the chest, and they have said that they intend to do so because of the spoilers, but we are learning some things as the release date gets closer. One of the things that we learned right away was that we will get a Deadpool variant in this film, but not the one you're thinking of. Dogpool is getting a live-action debut, and needless to say, someone like Wade Wilson absolutely loves the idea of Dogpool. In fact, star Ryan Reynolds explained in an interview with Empire that "It's love at first sight. He loves Dogpool."

As for who Dogpool is in the real world, because she is quite an interesting-looking dog, even if she is a good girl, Reynolds explained who Dogpool is and that she is technically an award-winning dog. "Her real name is Peggy, and she won the award for Britain's Ugliest Dog," says Reynolds. "The reason why I was a huge proponent for her was because she feels like the animal manifestation of Wade Wilson."

Regarding Dogpool's place within the story of Deadpool & Wolverine, it sounds like one of those things that probably started off as a one-off joke they made because of the location. The film was shot in London, and Peggy is British, but everything came together in such a way that they kept finding more and more ways to bring her into the story. "It was, just like many things during the writing process, a tiny little afterthought, and it grew," Reynolds explains. "It was one of those things where you just keep listening to the movie, and Dogpool became a staple." Organic storytelling at its best.
