For those not as eagle-eyed, Reynolds highlighted Mullin's cameo in a post on social media.
"You may have noticed one member of the Deadpool Corps was far deadlier than the rest. WELSHPOOL," he wrote.
Mullin's appearance in the film has since seen Wrexham update his player profile on their website to an image of him in a Deadpool costume.
The striker's rise in profile however has come for his heroics on the field. He has scored more than 100 goals for Wrexham in three seasons, playing an integral role in their successive promotions from National League to League 1.
Deadpool & Wolverine also sees Mullin's teammate Ollie Palmer make an appearance as a bartender in one of the scenes.
