The bartender is an important character in the Deadpool series. He is named Weasel and is the foul-mouthed best friend of Wade Wilson aka Deadpool. He is also sort of a side-kick to the Marvel superhero who works as an information broker and arms dealer as well. However, occasionally Weasel also plays his opportunist side against Deadpool's interest. 

In the first Deadpool movie, the bartender Weasel was essayed by TJ Miller. The latter also plays the character in the second movie which released in 2018. Contrary to speculations that Miller will be removed from the franchise owing to the #MeToo allegations against him, he was very much in the film. Hence, for those wondering does Ryan Reynolds play the bartender in Deadpool 2, he does not.
