No, X-Men fans, Peter from “Deadpool 2” and “Deadpool & Wolverine” is not Peter Wisdom. Peter actor Rob Delaney confirmed this in a red carpet interview with ScreenRant, and we offer our deepest nerd condolences to anyone who may have been invested in this.
The presence of Delaney’s character Peter, a supporting player in David Leitch’s 2018 action/comedy “Deadpool 2,” is a joke unto itself. Deadpool (Ryan Reynolds) is assembling a team of superheroes called the X-Force that he intends to employ for a skydiving-based rescue mission. Deadpool is such a non-credible deadbeat, though, that he can’t afford to be too choosy about who joins his team. He recruits characters like Shatterstar (Lewis Tan), Domino (Zazie Beetz), and Bedlam (Terry Crews), but also deigns to take on Peter, a regular, kind of dorky middle-aged guy with no superpowers.
