  • Morena Baccarin Talks ‘Deadpool 3’ and Her Possible Return

    Morena Baccarin Talks ‘Deadpool 3’ and Her Possible Return

    Production on Deadpool 3 is set to begin over the summer, and while the cast continues to fill out, there are plenty of characters from the first two movies that have yet to be confirmed to return. Morena Baccarin, who played Vanessa in the first two films, is one name that has not been attached to the project. At least, not yet. Of course, while Vanessa technically died in Deadpool 2, the fact that Deadpool 3 is set to be a multiverse story set within the Marvel Cinematic Universe allows for plenty of possibilities.

    While appearing on the Inside of You podcast, Baccarin briefly talked about Deadpool 3 and noted that she has been approached about the movie. However, as of now, she has not officially joined the cast of Deadpool 3. “I have to be very diplomatic about what I say here,” she explained. “I’d like to be in it. They have called me about being in it. Right now, we have not agreed on terms, and everybody’s trying their best, and doing their best. It may or may not work out.”

    Deadpool 3 will see Ryan Reynolds‘ titular anti-hero team up with Hugh Jackman‘s Wolverine. Joining the duo in the film are Karan Soni and Leslie Uggams, who are returning as Dopinder and Blind Al, as well as Emma Corrin and Matthew Macfadyen. Shawn Levy, a frequent collaborator of Reynolds, will direct the film from a screenplay by Zeb Wells, Paul Wernick and Rhett Reese.

    Deadpool 3 will hit theaters on Nov. 8th, 2024.

  • ‘Deadpool 3’ Adds ‘The Marvels’, ‘She-Hulk’ Scribe to WritingTeam

    ‘Deadpool 3’ Adds ‘The Marvels’, ‘She-Hulk’ Scribe to WritingTeam

    Current writer of Marvel Comics’ The Amazing Spider-Man, Zeb Wells‘ history with Marvel Comics dates back to 2002’s Spider-Man’s Tangled Web. Wells turned his trademark style with Marvel Comics into a gig at Marvel Entertainment, where he wrote the unreleased pilot for New Warriors, and then into a spot in the writer’s room for She-Hulk: Attorney at Law. Now it seems Wells’ success has led him to a spot on one of Marvel Studios’ most anticipated upcoming theatrical releases.

    According to Deadline, Wells has joined Paul Wernick and Rhett Reese as a contributor to the script of 2024’s untitled Deadpool threequel. While Marvel Studios has yet to comment on Wells‘ contribution to the script, it’s possible he was chosen due to his work on Marvel Comics’ A + X and Savage Wolverine. Wells has quickly become one of Marvel Studios’ most hired guns, having not only served as a writer on She-Hulk: Attorney at Law, but also as an executive producer as well as co-writing 2023’s theatrical release, The Marvels, as well as being the head writer for the upcoming animated series Marvel Zombies.

    The third installment in the Deadpool franchise is currently untitled but will see Ryan Reynolds’s Merc with a Mouth debut in the MCU alongside Hugh Jackman‘s Wolverine. With production expected to kick off soon, the cast has filled up quickly with Emma Corrin signing on as the film’s villain, Matthew Macfadyen set to serve as a third wheel to Deadpool and Wolverine, Karan Soni and Leslie Uggams returning as Dopinder and Blind Al, respectively, and Owen Wilson rumored to pop up as TVA agent Mobius. The film is currently slated to hit theaters on November 8th, 2024.

    As the untitled Deadpool sequel gets closer to the start of production and the cast of the film begins to round out, a pair of familiar faces have joined the film. Karan Soni and Leslie Uggams, who portrayed Dopinder and Blind Al, respectively, have joined the project according to Deadline.

    The third time is a charm for both Soni and Uggams, both of whom debuted in 2016’s Deadpool and returned for the sequel in 2018. The duo joins stars Ryan Reynolds and Hugh Jackman as actors to make the jump from the Fox franchise to the MCU. They’ll star alongside newcomers Emma Corrin, who is reported to be the villain, and Matthew Macfadyen, who is reported to be a “third wheel” to Reynolds’s Deadpool and Jackman’s Wolverine. Shawn Levy, who worked with Reynolds on Free Guy and The Adam Project and with Jackman on Real Steel, will helm the threequel for Marvel Studios.

  • ‘Deadpool 3’ Adds ‘Succession’s Matthew Macfadyen

    ‘Deadpool 3’ Adds ‘Succession’s Matthew Macfadyen

    It looks like we’re slowly getting more and more castings from the upcoming third Deadpool film. Deadpool 3 will see the return of Ryan Reynolds in the role of the Merc with a Mouth, but most notably also see Hugh Jackman once again reprise the role of Wolverine. While there’s no detail in what part of the MCU’s newly established multiverse this takes place in, it seems at least one casting addition has made its way online.

    Fresh off of the final season of the hit HBO series Succession, it seems that Matthew Macfadyen has decided to join the ever-growing world of superheroes. There’s no word on who exactly he might be playing, but it definitely is a big get given he won a BAFTA for best-supporting actor in a Drama. We’ll have to see if he ends up playing someone that wears a cape or might even be part of the X-Men, who might have a role in the upcoming project.

    The film will be the first produced by Marvel Studios with Shawn Levy of Stranger Things fame taking over directing duties. The script was originally written by Bob Burger‘s Wendy Molyneux and Lizzie Molyneux-Logelin. Though the script was rewritten by former Deadpool writers Paul Wernick and Rhett Reese. So, we can expect a similar humor that made the first two entries so unique. Hopefully, it also carries over the heart that gave us some of the strongest moments in Deadpool’s journey.

  • New Rumor Further Hints at Deadpool Facing the TVA in ‘Deadpool 3’

    New Rumor Further Hints at Deadpool Facing the TVA in ‘Deadpool 3’

    The multiverse is still set to expand in the Marvel Cinematic Universe’s future. While we still don’t know when we’ll see Jonathan Majors return once again, the presence of Kang the Conqueror will continue to remain. One of the biggest rumors has been pointing to the third installment of Deadpool will feature him traveling through the multiverse, a fitting story given how he destroyed his own universe’s timeline after the events of Deadpool 2.

    Now, a new rumor is making the rounds from Jeff Sneider, which adds more weight to the long-running hints that we may see the return of Loki‘s Time Variance Authority in the upcoming sequel. Not just that, but supposedly we’ll see the return of Owen Wilson‘s Mobius alongside Tara Strong‘s Miss Minutes. There is, however, no other word on who else might appear from the series.

    There’s the possibility that we get some hint at this Deadpool adventure in the second season of Loki, which will continue the storyline after Sylvie unleashed the multiverse and the events we’re seeing unfold in the current Saga of the MCU. It would be great to see Tom Hiddleston have to interact with Ryan Reynold‘s chaotic Merc with a Mouth, but they may keep him for a post-credit sequence.

    There’s also the question if we might see Wolverine from a different part of the multiverse. While knowing that Hugh Jackman is reprising the role, it was never confirmed that he is the exact same character we see throughout 20th Century Studios’ long-running take on the franchise. Of course, there’s always the chance that we see that version and some more from different universes. Wolverine vs. Wolverine, anyone?

  • Marvel Veteran Hints Ian McKellen Already in Talks to Return as Magneto

    Marvel Veteran Hints Ian McKellen Already in Talks to Return as Magneto

    Sir Patrick Stewart‘s cameo in Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness wasn’t the biggest secret for a long time, but the potential return of Ian McKellen as Magneto also made the rounds. At one point, it was even theorized to be Michael Fassbender. Yet, once the project was released though, he was the only mutant as part of the Illuminati.

    Still, it seems Ian McKellen might already be making some plans for the future as revealed by Patrick Stewart in an interview with ET Online. While asking if he got any feedback from his long-time collaborator returning to the role of Charles Xavier, he drops the rather curious mention of “we got plans.”

    Actually, it went very well. He did say something like [‘Hey, I would’ve done this!’], yes that’s true. But we’re not done, Sir Ian and myself. We’re… we got plans.

    Sir Patrick Stewart

    This isn’t a confirmation of course, but the tease is quite unsubtle. It wouldn’t be too surprising for Marvel Studios to map out all the cameos they want or need to be prepared once they start rolling on some of their true multiversal projects. Not only is there Avengers: Secret Wars, which might be the most obvious place to have both reappear, but also the rumors surrounding Deadpool 3.

    Not only is he being reunited with Hugh Jackman‘s Wolverine but it’s potentially going to include others from the 20th Century Fox line of mutants and characters. There have even been rumors that they’ll use this opportunity to create the Deadpool Kills the Marvel Universe storyline without it affecting the actual MCU and as a great segway for him into the overarching franchise. It’s unclear if Marvel Studios would even go that far with a film, but theorizing is going to get crazy the closer we get to these projects.

  • A New Report Confirms Who Emma Corrin Won’t Be in ‘Deadpool 3’

    A New Report Confirms Who Emma Corrin Won’t Be in ‘Deadpool 3’

    Along with the revelation that Emma Corrin had joined the cast of Deadpool 3 as the film’s villain came the less than-surprising tidbit that the identity of the villain they will be playing is unknown. For some time now, a popular theory was that the villain of the film was going to be Danger, the physical manifestation of the X-Men’s training room. Now it sounds like fans are going to have to keep digging.

    According to Deadline’s Justin Kroll, Corrin will not be taking on the role of Danger in the film.

    We’re about 10,000 reports of who Corrin isn’t playing away from figuring out who they are playing, but there are certainly some choices that make much more sense given the time-traveling plot and the project’s place in Marvel Studios’ Multiverse Saga.

  • ‘The Crown’ Actor Emma Corrin Joins ‘Deadpool 3’

    ‘The Crown’ Actor Emma Corrin Joins ‘Deadpool 3’

    Deadpool 3 is set to kick off production in a few months and is now beginning to add to what promises to be a fascinating cast. Star Ryan Reynolds has revealed that Emma Corwin has signed up for an as yet undisclosed role.

    Corrin’s role as Princess Diana won them Golden Globe and Critics’ Choice Awards. Little is known about the third installment in the Deadpool franchise and outside of the return of Hugh Jackman as Wolverine, Corrin’s casting is the first major casting for the project, which will be directed by Shawn Levy.

    A follow-up report from Deadline has confirmed that Corrin will play the villain of the project, though that villain’s identity remains unknown.

  • Patrick Stewart’s Charles Xavier Might Have One More Death in Him in ‘Deadpool 3’

    Patrick Stewart’s Charles Xavier Might Have One More Death in Him in ‘Deadpool 3’

    Few actors are as deeply associated with comic book movie characters as Patrick Stewart is with Charles Xavier. Stewart has portrayed Professor X in seven films, a post-credit scene and even voiced him in a few video games and has become inextricably linked to the character. He most recently returned to the role as a member of the Illuminati in Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness and after a memorable entrance was dishonorably discharged from his service by the Scarlet Witch. That wasn’t the first time Stewart’s Charles kicked the bucket on the big screen; according to him, it may not be the last.

    Marvel Studios is just a few months away from beginning production on the third installment of the Deadpool franchise, a film that will introduce Ryan Reynolds‘ Merc with a Mouth and Hugh Jackman‘s Wolverine to the MCU. While Stewart hasn’t been confirmed for the film, he did tell Comic Book that he’s “been told to standby,” before adding, “I know nothing more than that, honest.”

    Given the connection between Wolverine and Charles, it wouldn’t be remotely surprising to see the Professor in the film. However, one of the most sensible theories about the film–and one that seems to be picking up steam–is that its plot will be an adaptation of the Marvel Comic series Deadpool Kills the Marvel Universe. Should that be the case, the film might find room for a fourth and final (?) death for the character before Marvel Studios begins their work on the X-Men and recasts the role.

    Deadpool 3/Wolverine and Deadpool begins production in May ahead of its November 8th, 2024 release as part of Marvel Studios’ Phase 4.

  • Ryan Reynolds Teases a Collision of Icons in ‘Wolverine and Deadpool’

    Ryan Reynolds Teases a Collision of Icons in ‘Wolverine and Deadpool’

    The third installment of the Deadpool franchise is quickly becoming one of Marvel Studios most anticipated projects if not one the most talked about. Since star Ryan Reynolds revealed that Hugh Jackman was coming out of retirement from the character of Logan to co-star in the untitled film, the project has been in the news fairly consistently. While there are plenty of theories about what the plot of the film will include (and what the title might be!) little is known about the film which goes into production in the Fall of 2023 and plenty of questions about how the very R-rated Deadpool will fit in the very PG-13 MCU.

    The tone of the first two Deadpool films, while incredibly different from the average MCU film, is partly responsible for their popularity. Jackman’s last outing as Wolverine in Logan was extremely violent. The irreverence and violence associated with the characters may not seem to fit in the MCU, but according to Reynolds, fans should expect an “authentic” representation of the characters they’ve come to know and love and one hell of a team-up.

    It’s really kind of finding a way to service both of these characters that feels extraordinarily authentic to each of them, and I think these two wrongs actually will make a right in a pretty great way.

    Ryan Reynolds

    As for how he expects to blend the sensibilities of the Deadpool films with Marvel Studios more family-friendly films, Reynolds calls the process of figuring that out a “tightrope walk.”

    I think it’s a tightrope walk. I mean most of these movies are always a tightrope walk of tone, so in this instance, though, you have a collision of two pretty iconic characters that exist in the Marvel Ancillary Universe [laughs] — we’re in the Marvel Cinematic Universe at this point.

    Ryan Reynolds

    Kevin Feige has gone on record to indicate that Deadpool 3 will have an R-rating, like its predecessors, so it seems fans can still expect more of what they loved. It’s also clear that the “collision” of the two characters is not only the film’s biggest selling point but also the point from which the film is being built out. Deadpool 3 is starting to sound a bit like Lethal Weapon and there’s nothing wrong with that!
