Mullin has endured an injury-hit start to the 2024-25 season but started in Wrexham's 2-1 win over Salford City in the Football League Trophy on Tuesday night.
He opened the scoring for Wrexham after just 18 minutes and celebrated the occasion by wearing a Deadpool mask.
Mullin appears in the final film in the series, Deadpool & Wolverine. In the film, Mullin plays “Welshpool,” a version of Deadpool with a Welsh flag on his chest. The film also features a cameo from fellow striker Ollie Palmer.
Mullin, 29, joined Wrexham in 2021 and has been instrumental in their success under the Reynolds-McElhenney regime.
