Rob Delaney's Emotional Tribute in 'Deadpool & Wolverine' Highlights His Journey

When Rob Delaney’s two-year-old son, Henry, died from a brain tumor in 2018, the tragedy occurred just months before the release of Delaney's film ‘Deadpool 2.’ Delaney portrays Peter, a close ally to Deadpool, played by Ryan Reynolds, who recently expressed his remorse over not paying tribute to Henry in the previous film. On social media, Reynolds stated, “There’s more to @robdelaney than some realize. He’s one of the most subversively funny people I know. If you stayed through the credits of Deadpool & Wolverine, you might notice a credit saying, ‘For Henry Delaney.’” He added, “Rob lost his little boy to a brain tumor in 2018. I’ve always kicked my own ass because I didn’t place a tribute to Henry over the end credits of DP2.” By including Henry’s name in ‘Deadpool & Wolverine,’ Reynolds feels that, at last, father and son are together on screen. They also shared an image of Delaney's bestselling book, ‘A Heart That Works,’ narrating the experiences of love and loss associated with his son.
