The Deadpool 3 cast will include several familiar faces from the previous two Ryan Reynolds films. Rob Delaney is the latest Deadpool veteran to join the Marvel Studios film, reprising his role as X-Force team member Peter.Delaney's Peter made his first appearance as Peter in the first Deadpool sequel. Though he is a mere mortal man with no superpowers or special skills, Peter successfully auditions to join the X-Force, a superhero team created by Deadpool to free Russell from a prison-transfer convo and protect him from Cable. However, after leaping from a plan to ambush the convoy via parachute, every X-Force team member is killed before they land on the ground, including Peter, except for Zazie Beetz's Domino.Fortunately for Peter, Deadpool uses Cable's repaired time-travel device to save Vanessa (who was killed at the beginning of Deadpool 2) and Peter. Deadline now reports that Delaney has closed a deal to reprise his role as Peter in Deadpool 3, though details on how his character factors into the story are unknown. Delaney joins returning Deadpool franchise stars Morena Baccarin as Vanessa, Leslie Uggams as Deadpool's roommate Blind Al, Stefan Kapicic as Colossus, and Karan Soni as Deadpool's cab driver sidekick Dopinder. On Twitter, Delaney responded to the casting news by humorously writing, "I have decided to earn an Academy Award."
These returning actors join Deadpool 3 newcomers Emma Corrin as an unknown villain and Succession star Matthew Macfadyen in an undisclosed role. Of course, the main star attraction is undoubtedly Hugh Jackman as Wolverine. Although Jackman retired from playing Wolverine after the character was given a heroic death in James Mangold's Logan, it's been insinuated that the multiverse will factor into Wolverine's return, allowing the ending Jackman and Mangold crafted to remain intact.
Deadpool 3 is the Merc with a Mouth's first film since Disney acquired 20th Century Fox, reverting the character screen rights to Marvel Studios. However, Marvel Studios boss Kevin Feige promises Deadpool 3 will be R-rated, which means the adult humor and violent action from the first two films will carry over to the Merc with a Mouth's MCU debut. So, with the R-rated content intact and several familiar characters joining Deadpool in the MCU, fans are likely relieved to hear that what they loved about the first two films will be present when the Merc with a Mouth falls under Disney's family-friendly umbrella.
Deadpool 3 is scheduled to be released in theaters on November 8, 2024.
