THIS IS THE moment an iconic Deadpool suit was unveiled at Wrexham's home ground.

The costume worn by Reds striker Paul Mullin in a cameo appearance in Deadpool & Wolverine has recently gone on display at the club's stadium.

In the film, Mullin starred as Welshpool – a Welsh version of Ryan Reynolds’ character Deadpool.

The statue was unveiled ahead of the first game of the season, in which Wrexham beat Wycombe Wanderers 3-2.

Club co-chairmen Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney joined the likes of Mullin for the unveiling of the suit, which is situated in the Centenary Club area of the stadium.

The Welshpool suit is being kept inside a glass box and fans can have their picture taken with it if they wish to do so.

Ryan has now shared a video to Instagram and Facebook of the moment the statue was shown off for the first time.

He said: "The @wrexham_afc season is underway. So far so good!!!! If you visit the StōK Cae Ras Stadium, you can see WELSHPOOL on display in the Centenary Club.

"Huge thanks to Marvel for not only allowing a new WELSH Deadpool Corps member in the film, but for looking the other way when the suit disappeared from set and was accidentally mounted professionally then inexplicably shipped to The Racecourse Ground in Wrexham with no regard for wrules and wregulations.

"On our visit a couple weeks back, we accidentally unveiled WelshPool in his new home at the stadium. I was as surprised as anyone to see it there.

"Before folks ask, yes, @paulmullin12 has to live inside a harshly lit, airless glass box, but that’s only because he didn’t read his Deadpool & Wolverine contract very well. Particularly the parts I wrote in crayon."
