In the Deadpool movie (2016), there's a betting system called the 'Dead Pool'. What are the names on the board, and are any of them references to the comics or other media?

According to two sources, the names are, or include:

Shia LaBeouf [Actor]

Bill Cosby [Comedian]

Rob Liefeld [Deadpool creator]

Ryan Reynolds [Deadpool actor]

T.J. Miller [Weasel actor]

Mike Tyson [Boxer]

Ozzy Osbourne [Musician]

Vladimir Putin [Dictator]

Miley Cyrus [Entertainer]

Kanye West [Entertainer]

Lindsay Lohan [Actress]

Charlie Sheen [Actor]

A dead pool is a betting pool in which the wager is on who, among the proffered candidates, will die next. For a non monetary example, see The Rotten Dead Pool.

    I tried to keep the editorializing to a minimum, but I couldn't resist.

  • @DCShannon Sheen and Miley too. Heck, I think it was mostly junkies or nutheads on that table
