Deadpool and Wolverine director Shawn Levy revealed in an interview with Variety published on Monday, August 5, that he is the little one’s godfather.
“Little by little, all the Reynoldses started being part of the movie, including their youngest,” Levy, 56, said of the Reynolds children’s cameos in the new Marvel film. “As Olin’s proud godfather, that might be my favorite voice cameo.”
Olin appears briefly Deadpool and Wolverine as Babypool, while his sister Inez, 7, appears as Kidpool. Lively, 36, makes a masked appearance as Lady Deadpool. Meanwhile, Lively and Reynolds’ four-year-old daughter, Betty, is listed in the credits as Hugh Jackman‘s ‘wrestler’. (The couple also shares a 9-year-old daughter, James.)
Proud parents! Ryan Reynolds and Blake Lively share three daughters, and although the couple largely keeps their little ones out of the public eye, it’s clear that their girls mean the world to them.

It’s no wonder that Lively and Reynolds, 47, would lean on Levy as their son’s godfather, as Levy has become one of Reynolds’ most trusted collaborators. Levy has directed Reynolds in three films in recent years; like Deadpool and WolverineLevy directed 2021’s Free guy and 2022 The Adam Project.

Pop superstar Taylor Swift described Lively and Reynolds’ four children as her “godchildren” via a recent Instagram story celebrating the release of Deadpool and Wolverinewhich seems to indicate that she is little Olin’s godmother.
“Shout out to Wade Wilson, aka my godchildren’s sperm donor!” she wrote on July 25, referring to Reynolds’ Deadpool and Wolverine character.
In the humorous post, Swift, 34, appeared to gush over her longtime friend — only to reveal she was talking about his costar Hugh Jackman.
Spotted: Taylor Swift’s friendships with Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds grow stronger every year. Lively first publicly announced that she is a fan of Swift in September 2015 after Lively was accused of throwing shade at the singer-songwriter. “…Sooo, it turns out this was NOT a video shoot for John Legend’s cover of Bad Blood,” says the actress […]
“Over the last few years, I have watched one of my best friends on this planet pour every bit of his heart, soul, sweat, time, energy, jokes, pain, joy, rebellion, darkness and magic into this movie,” Swift wrote. . “He has created the best work of his life, and the film feels like a real joy portal, a wild escape from reality and an abs sandwich. I don’t know how he did it.”
“But that’s just Hugh!” she wrote alongside a photo of herself, Jackman, 55, Reynolds, Lively and Levy at a Kansas City Chiefs game in October 2023. “These other random people crashed the photo and we were too polite to ask them to leave.”
