Deadpool 3 star Ryan Reynolds recently confirmed that one Wade Wilson Variant, Dogpool, will appear in the upcoming threequel, and we're now hearing that another incarnation of the Merc With a Mouth from the comics will also feature.
According to Daniel Richtman, Earth-3010's Lady Deadpool, aka Wanda Wilson, will show up in the movie, and will "look exactly like she does in the comics." We don't know if the character will have a substantial role, but a cameo seems more likely.
Speculation mounted that Taylor Swift - who has also been rumored for Dazzler - may have been cast as Lady Deadpool when the pop megastar was spotted hanging out with Reynolds, Hugh Jackman and director Shawn Levy at MetLife Stadium for the Kansas City Chiefs vs. New York Jets game during the strikes, but Richtman claims she will not be playing Miss Wilson.
Another popular fan-pick is Reynolds' wife Blake Lively, but if she is involved in the project, they've done a great job of keeping a lid on it.
Other cameos that have reportedly been lined up for Deadpool 3 include several X-Men characters (Storm, Cyclops, and Jean Grey among them), and possibly even Channing Tatum and Taylor Kitsch as different Variants of Gambit.
A recent rumor claimed that Liev Schreiber is also set to reprise his X-Men Origins: Wolverine role as Victor Creed (we did see an actor that appeared to X-Men 1's Tyler Mane in recent set photos).
The one major return that had been confirmed by the trades is Jennifer Garner as Elektra, but the Alias alum declined to confirm anything in a recent interview.
Morena Baccarin (Vanessa), Karan Soni (Dopinder), Leslie Uggams (Blind Al), Rob Delaney (Peter), Brianna Hildebrand (Negasonic Teenage Warhead) And Shioli Kutsuna (Yukio) will all return as their respective characters, and they'll be joined by franchise newcomers Emma Corrin (The Crown) and Matthew Macfadyen (Succession), whose roles are still under wraps.
Plot details also remain a mystery for now, but Wade and Wolvie are expected to find themselves (trapped?) in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. A recent report claimed that Loki's TVA, including Agent Mobius (Owen Wilson) and Miss Minutes, will be involved. We have also been led to believe that Wade's MCU debut will be far more integral to Phase 5 and beyond than we first realized.
Shawn Levy is directing Deadpool 3, which is set to hit theaters on July 26, 2024.
