Marvel Studios’ latest film, Deadpool & Wolverine, isn’t just about the reunion of two fan-favorite characters. This action-packed flick introduces a new hero to the Marvel Cinematic Universe: Dogpool! Here’s the scoop on Dogpool, from her surprising origins to her hilarious role in the movie.
Dogpool: From Britain’s Ugliest Dog to Hollywood Star
Get ready for a canine Cinderella story! Dogpool, whose real name is Peggy, wasn’t always destined for the big screen. Before becoming a superhero, Peggy won the rather dubious title of “Britain’s Ugliest Dog.” But as director Shawn Levy says with a laugh, “she beat out lots of contestants because of her sheer ugliness” [1].
Despite her lack of conventional good looks, Peggy had the charisma and trainability to land the role. “She trained! Like, cut to the Rocky training montage,” Levy explains [1]. Her dedication and Levy’s praise (“she’s a born star” [1]) show that Hollywood doesn’t discriminate – even if you have a “tongue that looks CGI” [1]!
How Dogpool Fits into Deadpool & Wolverine
While plot details are still under wraps, we do know that Deadpool (played by Ryan Reynolds) and Wolverine (Hugh Jackman) encounter Dogpool on their multiverse adventure. Their meeting is sure to be filled with the usual Deadpool antics, and Dogpool likely becomes a hilarious companion on their journey.
Is Dogpool Here to Stay?
With her breakout performance and Levy’s enthusiastic endorsement, Dogpool could very well become a recurring character in the MCU. Fans are already loving her, with Peggy walking the red carpet at the Deadpool & Wolverine premiere and even having her own Instagram account [2].
