Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds' children make unexpected film debut
Acting couple Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds share four little ones together
It's the movie we've all been waiting for, and viewers who finally feast their eyes upon Deadpool & Wolverine as it hits UK cinemas this weekend are in for an unexpected surprise.
That's because, as well as Hugh Jackman reprising his role as the X-Men legend, and Ryan Reynolds' red-masked vigilante coming back with a bang, we'll also see another set of familiar faces in the star-studded line up - none other than the latter's kids.
For those unfamiliar with the actor's family life, Ryan, 47, has been married to Gossip Girl star wife Blake Lively, 36, since 2012 - the duo having met on the set of Green Lantern in 2010.

Since then, the celebrity power couple have gone on to welcome four beautiful children together - daughters James, nine, Inez, seven, Betty, four, and 18-month-old toddler Olin, whose name was only revealed this week.
Appearing at the movie's US premiere earlier this week, Ryan may well have been giving us a clue as to what we should expect from the R-rated superhero blockbuster, when he thanked his wife and kids for their support.
"I want to thank my kids James, Inez, Betty, Olin, who are here: I hope that, if I’m lucky, this moment will be the most traumatic thing, that is, the contents of this movie, that happens in your wondrous life," The Proposal star said.
He then added: "I love that my entire family is here."
His family weren't just on the red carpet to give daddy a round of applause, however, as the brand new instalment also marks two of his children's very own on-screen debut.
Two of Reynolds' children actually appear in the comic book is younger variants of his character.
His second-eldest daughter takes on the role of Kidpool, who is a child version of her father's character.
His youngest child, Olin - whose gender hasn't yet been revealed - takes on the adorable role of Babypool, a baby variant of Wade Wilson.
There have also been hints that Blake Lively appears in the new movie as Lady Deadpool... but we're not going to spoil that one for you.
While James and Betty don't appear in the film, James has watched the movie with her dad, despite it being 15-rated and her only being nine.
