With Deadpool 3 now shooting in the UK, the rumour mill has begun churning out some very interesting claims about the Marvel Studios threequel.
There's been chatter online for months about the movie being a Multiversal caper that takes Ryan Reynolds' Merc with the Mouth and Hugh Jackman's Wolverine on a trip through the Multiverse, but nothing has been confirmed.
Now, though, a couple of reliable scoopers are claiming we'll see multiple Deadpool Variants and at least one alternate Logan. Interestingly, Deadpool 3's plot has even been compared to The Flash, presumably meaning these two will find themselves lost in a new timeline at some point.
Some moviegoers appear to be growing tired of the Multiverse concept, but there's a good chance Deadpool 3 can restore faith in the idea given what a hit the first two R-Rated instalments were.
Karan Soni (Dopinder), Leslie Uggams (Blind Al), Morena Baccarin (Vanessa), Stefan Kapicic (Colossus), Brianna Hildebrand (Negasonic Teenage Warhead), Shioli Kutsuna (Yukio), and Rob Delaney (Peter) are all also set to return alongside Reynolds in the threequel.
Emma Corrin and Matthew Macfadyen have both signed up as mystery characters, while Loki star Owen Wilson is rumoured to appear as Mobius.
Most of us had expected Marvel Studios to either reboot Deadpool or bring him into the MCU as quickly as possible. Instead, the movie will take us back to Fox's X-Men Universe, hence why Jackman is returning alongside other original cast members (Halle Berry, Famke Janssen, and James Marsden are all rumoured to appear).
If these latest claims are to be believed, though, they will only be the tip of the iceberg in terms of surprises for fans.
Deadpool 3 is set to be released in theaters on November 8, 2024.
