The Marvel Studios’ project released in India on July 26 in English, Hindi, Tamil and Telugu.
The It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia star is credited with having appeared as a TVA Soldier, a member of the time-travel police force introduced in the series Loki, in the new film.
However, Rob has claimed that his cameo was “mistakenly” cut from the new movie, which is led by his Wrexham AFC co-owner Ryan. On Friday, Rob tweeted, “I hope you enjoyed it because the theater I was watching in had mistakenly cut it out. Since I KNOW Ryan wouldn’t do me like that.”
Alongside a behind-the-scenes picture of Rob and Hugh Jackman aka Wolverine in costume, Rob said, “I traveled 6 thousand miles to shoot my cameo. I hope you enjoyed it because the theater I was watching in had mistakenly cut it out. Since I KNOW Ryan wouldn’t do me like that, I look forward to catching the movie and my cameo again today!”.
More about the cameo
Months ago, some eagle-eyed Welcome to Wrexham fans spotted Rob wearing a T-shirt with the orange TVA logo peaking out from underneath a big jacket during one of the episodes.
His cameo was eventually confirmed on a later episode of the sports docuseries. Now, several fans are claiming that his cameo is there, but very short to be noticed. One early viewer reacted, ““The real reason I’m hating on Deadpool & Wolverine is because Rob McElhenney didn’t get a bigger cameo.” When asked where in the movie Rob appeared, they said: “Opening scene I think.”
