One of the most significant events featuring both Deadpool and Wolverine did not include Ryan Reynolds, but you can easily find the actor from the opening Dancepool scene on social media.
In the opening sequence of Deadpool & Wolverine, the question of whether Wolverine’s memory will be desecrated is answered with a resounding yes. Accompanied by the pop classic ‘Bye Bye Bye’, Deadpool showcases some impressive dance moves, all while wielding Wolverine’s decaying body as a lethal weapon.
The dance routine has gained popularity on social media, however, some viewers may be taken aback to discover that it was not lead actor Ryan Reynolds donning the Deadpool outfit. In fact, it was professional dancer Nick Pauley who confidently portrayed the character as “Dancepool.”
@nickfpauley It is the honor of my life to play Dancepool in #deadpoolandwolverine ❤️@Ryan Reynolds thank you so mich for such an incredible and life changing opportunity #deadpool #marvel #nsync

Pauley is expressing his joy over being featured in a viral video on his TikTok for his impressive dance moves. The clip, in which Pauley can be seen dancing to ‘Bye Bye Bye’ on a rooftop, is accompanied by the caption, “I am grateful to have had the chance to portray Dancepool, it has been the highlight of my career. Thank you to Ryan Reynolds for giving me this opportunity.”
Despite his current success as a Dancepool actor, he is not a newcomer to the industry. He has been working professionally as a dancer and choreographer since 2018, with experience working with popular artists such as Katy Perry and Nicki Minaj, as mentioned on his LinkedIn profile.
The Dancepool scene has rapidly become a favorite among viewers of the film. On the Deadpool subreddit, a conversation about the best opening credits in a movie reveals a widespread consensus that Dancepool reigns supreme.
