Deadpool & Wolverine is set to hit theaters in the United States on July 26, 2024. However, the film premiered in Indonesia on July 24, 2024. Ahead of its release, rumors have spread that BLACKPINK’s Jennie makes a cameo appearance in the movie alongside stars Ryan Reynolds and Hugh Jackman. This news has sent fans into a frenzy, especially after a supposed screenshot of the movie’s credits began circulating online. But is it true? Let’s dive into the details.
The Origin of the Rumor
The speculation about Jennie’s appearance in Deadpool & Wolverine started with a photo that purportedly showed the film’s credits listing Jennie’s name. This photo quickly went viral on social media, with fans sharing and discussing it widely. The name “BLACKPINK’s Jennie” was seen listed as a Korean Deadpool cameo. However, the source of the photo is unclear, leaving fans puzzled about its authenticity.

Debunking the Rumor
While some fans are hopeful that Jennie truly appears in the film, evidence suggests otherwise. Here are a few reasons why the credit title photo is likely a hoax:
- Incorrect Naming: Jennie has never used the name “BLACKPINK Jennie” for her acting roles. In her series The Idol, she is credited as Jennie Ruby Jane. This inconsistency casts doubt on the validity of the circulating photo.
- Suspicious Cast List: The alleged credit photo includes an improbable lineup of stars such as Sabrina Carpenter, Arnold Schwarzenegger, and Vin Diesel. This seems exaggerated and unrealistic. Additionally, notable cameos that are confirmed in the movie, like Chris Evans and Jennifer Garner, are missing from the photo.

Silence from Jennie and the Production Team
Neither Jennie nor the production team of Deadpool & Wolverine have addressed these rumors. The lack of official confirmation further suggests that the photo is not genuine. Ryan Reynolds did mention that another K-Pop group, Stray Kids, was initially planned to make a cameo appearance, but this plan was eventually scrapped due to production issues. Instead, Stray Kids contributed to the movie’s soundtrack.
