The long-awaited premiere of Deadpool & Wolverine, one of Marvel’s most popular franchises, is approaching. The protagonist, played by Ryan Reynolds, returns with his characteristic irreverence, sarcasm, and atypical appearance that has captivated millions of fans around the world. In this new installment, fans will be able to enjoy a very special novelty: the presentation of their new mascot, Dogpool.

From the moment the first images of Dogpool were revealed, everyone was delighted by his incorporation into the film. The excitement peaked during the red carpet held at London’s Eventim Apollo, where the mascot made its entrance into the actors’ arms, stealing all eyes in its superhero costume. In fact, former WWE superstar and CM Punk‘s wife, AJ Lee, too, has become a massive fan of the pooch. So much so that she wants Peggy as the bride for their dog Larry, as she just revealed on her social media.

AJ Lee wants Peggy the Pug to be Larry’s bride-to-be

In 2023, Peggy gained great recognition by being named the ugliest dog in the United Kingdom in a competition organized by the photo printing company Parrot Print. Since then, she has become an internet celebrity, which eventually led to her landing her role as Dogpool in her first film. But it seems like AJ Lee loves Peggy for what she is—a truly loveable pooch. And that’s why she shared a picture of her on her Instagram story with the caption, “She’s perfect I love her no notes please be my daughter in law Larry is single.”

Peggy is a Pug and Chinese Crested mix dog, approximately 5 years old, and Holly Middleton’s faithful companion. She was rescued by Holly in 2018 when she was just a few months old, being the last puppy in a litter.

From being rescued to reaching superstardom

According to her owner, Holly Middleton, in an interview for the Associated Press news agency, she always knew that Peggy was unattractive because, when they went for a walk on the street, she noticed how people whispered things when they saw her pass. And now, the same dog is a part of the Deadpool universe. The dog will give life to Dogpool, a Deadpool from an alternate world who was the victim of a series of experiments that gave him a regenerative factor just like that of Reynolds’ character. The film will feature for the first time the appearance of Dogpool, the Wade Wilson of the 103173 land who was the victim of experiments by the cosmetics industry that gave him his characteristic regeneration factor and would later be adopted by Reynolds’ character.

Ryan Reynolds announced Peggy’s participation through a post on Instagram in early November of last year. In the description, he joked about how she wrecked the marketing department of the shoot. And now fans cannot wait to finally get to see Peggy. And maybe she might actually get married to Larry the dog, either in this universe or an alternate timeline. At least, that’s what AJ Lee would surely want. What did you think of the new Dogpool? Let us know in the comments.
