In the next few months, the number of Deadpool & Wolverine rumours we see do the rounds online will surely only increase. The threequel looks set to include a lot of cameos, and social media scoopers are seemingly throwing every name imaginable out there for us to mull over.
Now, though, we have news on a character who isn't set to appear.
According to The Cosmic Circus' Alex Perez, Tobey Maguire's Spider-Man won't factor into the threequel despite an Easter Egg which caught the attention of fans earlier this week. You'll also likely recall past reports that Hugh Jackman has pushed to share the screen with the actor (albeit in Avengers: Secret Wars rather than this team-up).
We've also done some digging and, yes, it seems a Spider-Man cameo was considered, but Sony Pictures for some reason wasn't keen. This was likely discussed at a much earlier stage in production, though, and probably one of many ideas batted around.
There's also been some chatter lately about Deadpool & Wolverine's post-credits scene. Whatever it is must be big as Perez has chimed in to say, "Scoopers know what’s being rumored about it. Trades know about it too. Everyone is just waiting to see who fires the first shot that teases or reveals it so they can talk about it. I’m not gonna do it."
The last time there was talk like this online, it was about Beast's shocking appearance in The Marvels. We've heard of one possible stinger and, while we won't share it here, it is indeed a game-changer if correct.
As always, stay tuned for updates.
