Ryan Reynolds As 'Deadpool' Visits Boy Fighting Cancer

Marvel Comics' anti-hero Deadpool may not come across as kid-friendly in the comics, but one young fan who worships Deadpool had a wish come true thanks to his favorite superhero.

Tony Acevedo, who is battling Hodgkin's Disease aka Hodgkin's Lymphoma - a rare cancer of the lymph tissue which affects the immune system - asked Make-A-Wish-Foundation if he could meet his superhero. The foundation made his wish come true and arranged for Ryan Reynolds, who essays the role of Deadpool in Fox's adaptation of the standalone movie by the same name.
