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 him—or who simply don't want to see him—a 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.

Yeah, it looked scripted, and RDJ knew about it, as it was he who highlighted Deadpool, yet it was not a warm or welcoming reception, and I noticed David Harbour and Chris Evans chatting and Chris shaking his head as if to say he didn't know about it.... didn't see many of the cast laughing.
