But the real showstopper?Matthew McConaugheyas Cowboypool. Yeah, you heard that right—McConaughey, the elusive star who’s dodged Marvel roles likeEgo the Living PlanetandDoctor Strange, finally makes his mark. After some serious Reynolds persuasion to get him on board, McConaughey gave in and joined the MCU (viaSlash Film). Guess only Ryan Reynolds could have convinced our Cowboypool for aDeadpool & Wolverinecameo!

Cowboypool, though not in the spotlight for long, is a blast. Decked out in pearl-handled six-shooters, a ten-gallon hat, and a fit made of cured leather, he’s a Western anti-hero unlike anything Wade Wilson rocks (you know, the usual spandex, Katanas, or dual Desert Eagles). This nod to the Deadpool Corps comics is a major win, even if it’s just a brief cameo.
