Eagle-eyed viewers noticed another familiar name as the credits rolled: Inez Reynolds.

Lively and Ryan’s seven-year-old daughter made a tiny cameo as the character ‘Kidpool’ (kid Deadpool) and her short lines included some serious language for a kid who hasn’t even hit double digits.

She’s the second of their four daughters, along with James, nine, and Betty, four, and Olin, who is only a few months old.

While no-one expected Inez to make an appearance in her dad’s new movie with Australian acting icon Hugh Jackman, most fans weren’t surprised to learn Lively was involved.

From the very first moment Lady Deadpool appeared in a trailer for the new flick, there was speculation about who could be hiding under the red suit and blonde ponytail.

Taylor Swift was a popular guess, though Marvel shut those rumors down, and some fans thought it could be Madonna, as her music features heavily in the film.

But most were convinced it was Lively and only became more certain when she arrived to the movie’s premiere in a Deadpool-esque catsuit this week.

Now, with the movie finally out in Australia, they’ve been proven correct.
