Matt Damon is credited in Deadpool 2 as Dickie Grrenleaf , in reference to Jude Law 's character from The Talented Mr. Ripley .
This was inspired by a real manifesto written by Reese , which the writers wanted to be discussed in the film by a certain `` calibre '' of actor : the characters are portrayed by Alan Tudyk and a disguised Matt Damon , with the latter credited as `` Dickie Greenleaf '' ( a reference to Jude Law 's character from the 1999 film The Talented Mr. Ripley in which Damon stars ) .
