According to a new report from Deadline, Ryan Reynolds’ Deadpool and Hugh Jackman’s Wolverine won’t be the only X-Men characters to make the jump from 20th Century Fox’s “X-Men” franchise. (now 20th Century Studios) to the Disney/Marvel MCU when “Deadpool 3” hits theaters in late 2024. The superhero duo will get some support from a few familiar faces, at least together. from previous “Deadpool” movies.
Specifically, two actors Monica Baccarin and Stefan Kapicic were both announced to return as Vanessa and Colossus after appearing in the first part of 2016 and the second part of 2018. The news is not entirely surprising. , especially as Baccarin’s Vanessa was loved by many in the first film, and Kapicic’s voice acting helped make the CGI character Colossus stand out in both previous “Deadpool” films. The return of these characters also proves that the “Deadpool” timeline will continue in the MCU although we don’t know how this will be explained yet.
While Vanessa was a born mutant in Marvel Comics when she first appeared in the 1993 book “X-Force #19”, she was just a normal person with no special powers in the “Deadpool” movies. . On the other hand, Colossus is one of the most famous X-Men characters in history and has made his debut since 1975. In the movie, Colossus is an equally important character with a serious personality, sincere left. contrary to Deadpool’s cunning, sarcastic nature, and always willing to help the main character when needed.
With Marvel Studios introduced the concept of a multiverse in the MCU, they can easily pick any character or actor they like from other studios’ arsenal of superhero movies. That’s how “Spider-Man: No Way Home” stars Tom Holland, Tobey Maguire, and Andrew Garfield as Peter Parker/Spider-Man in one movie. Similarly, Patrick Stewart got his chance to play Charles Xavier again in “Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness”, even though this Professor X is a different version of what audiences have seen in the Fox films. .
Either way, Marvel Studios’ use of Fox’s versions of X-Men characters is an interesting and curious choice for fans. That’s because Marvel seems intent on rebooting the X-Men franchise at some point in the future. Aside from Monica Baccarin and Stefan Kapicic, it’s unknown if actress Brianna Hildebrand will return as the Negasonic Teenage Warhead. “Deadpool 3” will be even more fun if Josh Brolin plays Cable again after playing Thanos in the last two “Avengers” movies, a detail that was mentioned in “Deadpool 2”.
