DEADPOOL 2: Leslie Uggams Confirms That She'll Reprise The Role Of Blind Al For The Sequel
You didn't think the rest of that motley bunch would return without Blind Al, did ya? Leslie Uggams has now confirmed that she will indeed be back as Wade Wilson's roommate for Deadpool 2...
Over the past few months, most of the supporting characters from the first Deadpool movie - including Colossus, Negasonic Teenage Warhead, Vanessa and even Dopinder the taxi driver - have been confirmed to return for the upcoming sequel, but up until now we still hadn't heard anything about one of the many highlights of the first film, Blind Al.
During an interview with Black Film, veteran actress/singer Leslie Uggams was asked if she'd be returning along with the rest of her cast-mates for Deadpool 2, and confirmed that she would with a simple, "Definitely."
Though Uggams didn't say any more on the subject, we probably shouldn't expect to see too much of Al given the amount of characters the movie already has to juggle - but we will almost certainly get a few more hilarious scenes between her and Ryan Reynolds' titular Merc with a Mouth, at least.
Deadpool 2 is expected to commence production this June to meet its unspecified 2018 release date.
