Deadpool & Wolverine, Marvel Studios’ only theatrical release this year, faces high expectations. Starring Ryan Reynolds and Hugh Jackman, the film welcomes back familiar characters.
Recently, director Shawn Levy and Marvel Studios President Kevin Feige showcased nearly 10 minutes of footage at CinemaCon, surprising many with the appearance of an original Avenger.
Following the departures of Robert Downey Jr.’s Iron Man and Chris Evans’ Captain America after Avengers: Endgame, Scarlett Johansson also bid farewell to her role as Black Widow with her standalone film, Black Widow (2021).
While Jeremy Renner, Mark Ruffalo, and Chris Hemsworth remain part of the MCU, their stories appear to be taking a backseat to make way for newer characters. However, in the latest footage of Deadpool & Wolverine, fans were surprised to spot Chris Hemsworth’s Thor making a cameo.
Another Original Avenger, Not Robert Downey Jr.’s Iron Man, Set to Appear in Deadpool & Wolverine
Since his Marvel debut in 2011’s Thor, Chris Hemsworth has portrayed the God of Thunder in multiple appearances throughout the MCU. Following his latest portrayal in 2022’s Thor: Love and Thunder, he is set to reprise his role in Deadpool & Wolverine.
CinemaCon footage showcases a poignant scene where Thor is depicted shedding tears over Ryan Reynolds‘ Deadpool, whose mask is partially torn and appears to be nearing death.
In a mysterious exchange, Matthew Macfadyen‘s character, Paradox, warns Deadpool about a glimpse of the “distant future” he wasn’t meant to see.
This hints at a potential connection to the Avengers: Secret Wars timeline, where Deadpool and Thor team up against a powerful foe. If the storyline from the Secret Wars comics is adapted, it could involve heroes from different universes uniting against a common enemy, explaining Thor’s emotional response to Deadpool’s predicament.
Deadpool & Wolverine May Feature Numerous Other Cameos
Marvel’s Deadpool & Wolverine marks the studio’s first official venture into mutant territory since Disney acquired 20th Century Fox. Hugh Jackman will reprise his role alongside Aaron Stanford and Jennifer Garner.
While Sabertooth and Toad are also part of the movie, it’s uncertain if their original actors will return.
Speculation swirls around the potential appearances of other iconic X-Men characters like Professor X, Magneto, Storm, Cyclops, and Beast, with rumors even suggesting Taylor Swift’s involvement as Dazzler in Deadpool 3.
However, these casting details remain unconfirmed by the studio or the actors’ representatives.
