Ryan Reynolds has posed with one of his newest co-stars, the dog who will star as Dogpool in the upcoming Deadpool and Wolverine film.

Named Peggy, the Chinese crested cross was snapped in Reynolds’ arms at a photo call in London, while co-star Emma Corrin stroked the dog’s chin.

Set six years after Deadpool 2, the film will see the superhero enjoying his retirement, before the Time Variance Authority organisation pulls him into a new mission, which sees him team up with a reluctant Wolverine.

Reynolds, 47, who later gave the dog a kiss, was wearing a white shirt with a green overshirt, which featured embroidered trophies on it, while the dog wore a red and black Deadpool-style suit.

Corrin, 28, wore a black sleeveless dress and black boots.

As well as featuring a dog version of his character, the film is to make two references to Reynolds’ ownership of Wrexham AFC, with the team’s striker Ollie Palmer making a cameo, along with co-owner Rob McElhenney.
