In some ways, the hype that continues to grow around the rumored appearances of an ever-increasing number of Marvel heroes in Deadpool & Wolverine feels awfully familiar. Prior to both Spider-Man: No Way Home and Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness, fans were inundated with rumors about Charlie Cox, Andrew Garfield and Tom Cruise popping in to cameo. Obviously some of these rumors held true whereas others were simply bullshit. With Deadpool & Wolverine just a few months away, there’s been no slowing the rumor mill down and now a new rumor about a very popular character has made its way into the wild.
Potential spoilers ahead…
According to known social media leaker MTTSH, Channing Tatum‘s Gambit, who has been rumored to appear in the film for some time now, will have a very interesting role in Deadpool & Wolverine.
MTTSH claims that Gambit, along with X-23 and Elektra will be part of a group of heroes who fight back against Emma Corrin‘s big bad, Cassandra Nova. In the film, Nova looks to be the boss of the TVA’s wasteland known as the Void. As seen in the latest trailer, Nova has quite a collection of miscreants at her disposal including Lady Deathstrike, Azazel and more.
If this claim is true, it’s a solid way to incorporate Tatum’s Gambit along with many of the other Fox-verse heroes who hsbe been rumored to be appearing. Given the number of villains on Nova’s goon squad, even Wade and Logan could use some help.
Deadpool & Wolverine hits theaters on July 26th.
