The weekend has started well for Rob Delaney, who is celebrating the re-election of Jeremy Corbyn to his Islington North constituency as an independent candidate. Delaney is a committed campaigner on multiple issues, using his considerable X platform to advocate for the likes of the former Labour leader, the Green party, the continued nationalisation of the NHS, improvements to social care, an end to the bombings in Gaza, the resignation of Joe Biden and the abolition of voter ID.
Lots to ask him about there, but there’s also his own work to consider, not least the upcoming Deadpool & Wolverine, in which he reprises his role as Peter Wisdom, a regular guy encumbered by superpowers who joins Deadpool’s gang of mercenaries.
It’s the latest in a series of high-profile big-screen roles for Delaney, who joined the franchise in 2018, in Deadpool 2, and since appeared in Last Christmas, Hobbs & Shaw, The Hustle, Bombshell and The Good House. He even played Elvis Presley in Elton John biopic Rocketman – though his scenes were cut from the final edit.
He’s also a regular on panel shows in the UK, where he broke through on the small screen opposite Sharon Horgan in Catastrophe. In 2018, he featured alongside Donald Sutherland in Trust, an acclaimed mini-series about the Getty family.
A Heart That Works, Delaney’s 2022 book about the death of his young son, Henry, to cancer, was widely praised for its candour and bravery.
We need your questions for Delaney by 10am on Monday 8 July. His answers will be published on 19 July, ahead of the UK release of Deadpool & Wolverine on 25 July.
