Unexpected Voiceover: Matthew McConaughey Takes on Cowboypool in Deadpool Universe

In the realm of unexpected casting, an interesting tidbit has surfaced about a beloved character from the Deadpool universe. Amidst a slew of celebrity appearances in the latest Deadpool and Wolverine projects, one significant actor made a brief appearance as a unique variant of Deadpool. This variant, known as Cowboypool, was initially voiced by Ryan Reynolds, but eventually saw the addition of Matthew McConaughey's distinct Texan voice.

This fascinating detail was brought to light by director Shawn Levy during his discussion on the Happy Sad Confused podcast. He shared that Ryan Reynolds had originally lent his vocal talents to Cowboypool in early versions, delivering an impressive performance. The director expressed that he wanted to keep Reynolds' voice for the character but hoped for an opportunity to feature a voice like that of McConaughey.

Levy recounted the moment when, just days later, he received a recording from McConaughey that was so exceptional it fit seamlessly into the project. Upon listening to it, he humorously informed Reynolds that his voice would no longer be used for Cowboypool and McConaughey would take over the role instead.

This surprise casting decision means that alongside notable personalities like Wrexham AFC's Paul Mullin, Harry Holland, and Blake Lively, McConaughey has also joined the ranks of actors portraying unique versions of Deadpool in this cinematic universe. His involvement adds yet another layer of excitement to the character's already rich tapestry.
