Some more casting news has dropped for Deadpool 3! It’s being reported that more characters from the X-Men and Deadpool franchises will return for the film.
First up, Brianna Hildebrand and Shioli Kutsuna have closed deals to return to the franchise and will reprise their roles as Negasonic Teenage Warhead, who was introduced in the first film and has the ability to generate nuclear explosions, and Negasonic Teenage Warhead’s girlfriend Yukio, a Japanese mutant ninja, who was introduced in Deadpool 2, respectively.
It’s also being reported by insider @CanWeGetToast that Halle Berry will be back as Storm, Famke Janssen will reprise her role as Jean Grey, and James Marsden will return and play Cyclops! It’s also teased that the movie will also include a returning X-Men villain and a returning MCU villain, but they didn’t reveal the identities of those characters.
The X-Men characters are just rumors for now. Their inclusion has not been confirmed, but it sure would be cool if this did all turn out to be true! What a wild ride this movie would be to see all of these characters mashing together in the Deadpool universe! I’m really curious about who those villains are going to be!
The rest of the cast includes Emma Corrin as the villain, Morena Baccarin and Stefan Kapicic as Vanessa and Colossus, Matthew Macfadyen in an unknown role, Karan Soni as Dopinder, and Leslie Uggams as Blind Al.
The movie is being directed by Shawn Levy, who previously teased the R-rated violence and foulness of the film, saying: “We are writing, rewriting, developing, prepping Deadpool every day now. It is such a blast to laugh every day. It is so delicious to hear and write and come up with these scenes where people are just talking foul. And the violence is in your face and hardcore, and it’s very much a Deadpool movie.”
It’s also been revealed that Wolverine (Hugh Jackman) and Deadpool (Ryan Reynolds) are not going to get along in the movie. Wolverine hates Deadpool, and Jackman previously talked about that, saying: “How do I categorize it? Ten being really close, zero being the reality, we’re zero, we’re opposites, hate each other. I’m just talking from my perspective, [Logan’s] frustrated by him, wants to be a million miles away from him or wants to punch him in the head. Unfortunately, he can’t be a million miles away from him in this movie, so I’m probably going to punch him in the head a lot.”
Reynolds also previously shared some information on a Deadpool and Wolverine plot that was being planned before Disney bought Fox. It “was gonna be a road trip between Deadpool and Logan. Rashomon style. For real.”
The movie is currently shooting, and Reynolds isn’t allowed to improvise on set because of the writer’s strike, so hopefully all those jokes in the script are freakin’ funny!
