The Deadpool franchise, which introduced the cinematic universe to Ryan Reynolds and his iconic red suit, is set to return next year and fans are already speculating over who will be cast in the new film. While production for Deadpool 3 has halted due to the SAG-AFTRA strikes, rumours are still circulating over who might star in the R-rated movie - poised for international release in November 2024.
Ryan Reynolds has already confirmed that Hugh Jackman is on board for a leading role in Deadpool 3. Jackman’s Wolverine will be intergrated into the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) for the first time following Disney’s acquisition of 21st Century Fox, which returned the character’s rights to Marvel Studios.
Meanwhile, other stars have confirmed they will be reprising their roles from the first two films. Morena Baccarin will appear again as Vanessa Carlysle and Leslie Uggams is back as Blind Al, according to online platform, Comic Book Movie.
