County's Marvel-lous Deadpool sculpture is tribute to Wrexham's real-life superhero Ryan Reynolds
A huge statue of the infamous superhero Deadpool now stands guard over the Shropshire countryside, paying tribute to the actor who played him.
Bosses at the British Ironwork Centre near Oswestry say Ryan Reynolds is the region's real-life superhero, having helped to transform the fortunes of Wrexham AFC.
Together with fellow actor and co-owner, Rob McElhenney, he helped celebrate the return of Wrexham to the England Football League after 15 years this season with the club winning the National League title.
As a tribute the new Deadpool sculpture has taken its place in the sculpture park at the centre off the A5.
