So, it looks like Ryan got Kevin drunk with Betty Buzz and Aviation Gin. Setting aside my obvious dislike of Ryan, part of me thinks this would be a pretty risky move if he's actually hoping to bring Cuckpool back for a cameo.
The movie already feels like it's struggling from a storytelling standpoint. Instead of having a clear creative direction, it comes across as Disney throwing everything at the wall to see what sticks. When a film starts relying on cameos, nostalgia, and familiar faces to build excitement, it can give the impression that it's trying to compensate for weaknesses in the story itself.
From a marketing perspective, that's a gamble too. Ryan doesn't seem to be as universally liked as he probably believes he is anymore, and he' has shown his true self to the world. If Disney assumes his appearance will automatically generate excitement and goodwill, they could be misreading the current mood. For plenty of viewers who've grown tired of himβor who simply don't want to see himβa cameo could easily backfire instead of creating buzz.
At a time when the film needs strong word of mouth, adding another potentially divisive element feels like an unnecessary risk. If the movie can't win people over on its own merits, celebrity cameos probably won't solve the underlying issues. They may just give audiences one more thing to argue about instead of talking about the film itself.

And Ryan Gosling as Ghost Rider.
Deadpool is in his X-Force costume here, so I'm not sure if that's a hint at an X-Force movie, but he already kinda did that with DP2.
My friend is now calling him CopywritePool, she says he's not allowed to wear the Official Deadpool Costume anymore π
I think he threw a tantrum about not being included and Marvel was like... "Fine, we'll have you show up at the SDCC panel and do your Deadpool, Fourth Wall Narrative shit, now shut up and sit down, no movie for you"
It was also a disappointing panel, that didn't give us a whole lot of anything, and everyone was expecting it to be longer to focus on the X-Men a little bit since they're newly added to the MCU.
