Deadpool 3’s filming is currently suspended due to the SAG-AFRTA strike, but set photos revealed some Marvel multiverse shenanigans.
Ryan Reynolds’ Merc with a Mouth and Hugh Jackman’s Wolverine were spotted in the Void from Loki, alongside the 20th Century Fox logo that the X-Men movies belonged to before the franchise merged with Disney.
Rumours abound of Fox X-Men stars like Sir Patrick Stewart and Sir Ian McKellen reprising their roles in the MCU movie.
And now scoopers have been sharing what they’ve been hearing from the set including some exciting cameos.
First up, trusted leaker Daniel RPK wrote “PIZZA TIME” with the Deadpool 3 logo on his Twitter, which is a reference to a line by Tobey Maguire’s Spider-Man.
The scooper teased: “This will be clear when you see the ending of Deadpool 3”.
By the sounds of it, this would imply an end credits cameo by Maguire ahead of 2027’s Avengers: Secret Wars. More on that later.
Meanwhile, the leaker also reported that Daniel Radcliffe has a secret role in the movie, with fans speculating it’ll be as a young Wolverine.
If that wasn’t enough, CanWeGetSomeToast tweeted of a Logan cameo: “Sources have newly confirmed that Marvel went into negotiations with Dafne Keen right before the strikes started to bring her back as a grown-up Laura Kinney/#X23 in #Deadpool3.
“They anticipated the strikes and are hoping schedules line up once the studios pay actors and writers fairly. Which lines up with Shawn Levy saying Deadpool 3 was halfway through filming. It’s not a significant role, expect it more to be a cameo.”
The same scooper also tweeted: “With #Deadpool3 looking like it’ll lead right into #AvengersSecretWars, don’t be surprised if Shawn Levy is also in the running to direct it.” This is something the director recently didn’t deny in a new interview.
They continued: “Deadpool 3 is going to be a huge ensemble as it is, and Secret Wars will be even BIGGER. His experience with the huge Stranger Things cast only helps, and working with the MCU is more like TV anyways. He’d be a great fit…
“Make no mistake, #Deadpool3 will NOT just be a “setup movie” for #AvengersSecretWars. Just like Infinity War was its own contained story but was integral for Endgame to even happen, Deadpool 3 will be the same to Secret Wars. Have faith in Shawn Levy.”
And yes, it’s reported by the leakers that both Deadpool and Wolverine will return in Avengers: Secret Wars.
Deadpool 3 is set to hit cinemas on May 3, 2024.
