Deadpool & Wolverine is now playing in theaters worldwide and, even with Comic-Con bound to grab everyone's attention this weekend, we'd bet this is a movie fans will be talking about for months to come.
The Marvel Studios threequel is packed full of cameos and surprises, though that's not a huge shock considering the way it fully embraces the Multiverse concept. There's lots to be said about those unforgettable appearances, but for now, we're going to focus on who plays them!
From Cassandra Nova's followers to the Void's Resistance, the Deadpool Corps, and other jaw-dropping cameos, this breakdown will take you through every single surprise cast member without spoiling the fates of their respective characters.

Cassandra Nova's Followers
Sent to The Void as a baby, the immensely powerful Cassandra Nova has made a home for herself there, feeding friends and enemies alike to Alioth to keep the creature at bay.
Even the TVA fears Professor X's twin and she's surrounded herself with familiar Variants. X2: X-Men United and X-Men: The Last Stand star Aaron Stanford returns as Pyro, while X-Men's Tyler Mane is back as Sabretooth. The likes of Lady Deathstrike, Toad, and Azazel don't have speaking parts and aren't - as far as we can tell - portrayed by any returning stars from previous movies.
An actor called Mike Waters plays Blob, while Aaron W. Reed - the "Dude" body double in Free Guy - suits up as Juggernaut in place of Vinnie Jones.
The Resistance
There are heroes in The Void who have assembled to take the fight to Cassandra, and the first member of The Resistance we meet is Chris Evans' Human Torch!
Later, Deadpool and Wolverine encounter the rest of that group; Elektra (Jennifer Garner), Blade (Wesley Snipes), Gambit (Channing Tatum), and Laura/X-23 (Dafne Keen).
Most of them were rumoured to show up in Deadpool & Wolverine, but then so was pretty much every other Marvel character from the past...
Deadpool Corps
Most of the Deadpool Corps don't receive speaking roles and are used as cannon fodder for the Merc with the Mouth and Wolverine to lay waste to in one of the best fight scenes to ever make it into a superhero movie.
Ryan Reynolds' fake twin, Gordon, is credited as Nicepool, while his wife, Blake Lively, voices Ladypool. Their daughter, Inez Reynolds, portrays Kidpool and their newest arrival, Olin Reynolds, plays Babypool.
Nathan Fillion is Headpool and Matthew McConaughey finally boards the MCU as Cowboypool. Peggy the Dog is Dogpool, stunt performer Alex Kyshkovych is Canadapool and Wrexham A.F.C.'s Paul Mullin is Welshpool. Oh, and the opening credits' Dancepool is Nick Pauley.
Who Else In The Movie?
You'll have seen most of Deadpool & Wolverine's supporting cast in the trailers. However, there are still a couple of nice surprises.
MCU veteran Jon Favreau returns as Happy Hogan and we get some connective tissue to Loki courtesy of Wunmi Mosaku's Hunter B-15. Reynolds and Lively's daughter, James, is credited as a "Screaming Mutant" too.
Of course, by far the biggest surprise is Man of Steel and Justice League star Henry Cavill showing up as a Wolverine Variant who is officially named "The Cavillrine." Here's hoping this isn't the last we see of the former Superman in the MCU, eh?
