He’s one of the most subversively funny people I know. He’s a beautiful, acerbic and vulnerable writer. If you stayed through the credits of Deadpool & Wolverine, you might notice a credit saying, ‘For Henry Delaney.’ Henry was Rob’s son.

And Rob lost his little boy to a brain tumor in 2018. Right as we finished Deadpool 2.”A post shared by Ryan Reynolds (@vancityreynolds)“I’ve always kicked my own ass because I didn’t place a tribute to Henry over the end credits of [Deadpool 2],” Reynolds continued. “If there’s a bright side, even more people are seeing Henry’s name in the credits of Deadpool & Wolverine.

And at long last, father and son are sharing the same screen.”Delaney announced the passing of his two-year-old son Henry in February 2018. “Henry was a joy,” he wrote.
