Greg, known for playing Victor McDade in Scotland’s favourite sitcom, portrays a barman telling Wolverine to get the f**k out of his bar just as Deadpool arrives to cause chaos.
In a nod to Still Game, one fan wrote on X: “Is that Greg Hemphill? Is Wolverine drinking in an alternative universe Clansman?”
Another quipped: “I need to know, is that Scotland and Canada’s own Greg Hemphill? If it is, then you've just got the whole of Scotland watching.”
While someone joked: “Greg Hemphill being in the Marvel Cinematic Universe wasn’t on my bingo card today but oh well.”

It’s a far cry from Hemphill’s portrayal of pensioner Victor - a role he enjoyed for more than 20 years until the show ended in 2019.
