Deadpool has always been tied to the X-Men with Colossus and Negasonic Teenage Warhead being series mainstays. But, while the previous films featured limited participation from other X-men characters, the latest rumor suggests Deadpool 3 will change this.
According to the entertainment insider CanWeGetSomeToast, Wolverine isn't the only member of the X-Men making an MCU debut in Deadpool 3. The leaker shared that Storm, Jean Grey, and Cyclops will be part of the third movie for the Merc with a Mouth.
"Hugh Jackman's Wolverine won't be the only X-Man returning in #Deadpool3!" the insider tweeted. "Halle Berry, Famke Janssen and James Marsden will also reprise their roles as their Storm, Jean Gray, and Cyclops respectively."
Longtime X-Men star Hugh Jackman already announced that he was retiring from the role of Wolverine after 2017's Logan. However, the actor was convinced by Deadpool lead Ryan Reynoldsto return as the mutant in Deadpool 3. The two had previously shared the big screen as their respective characters in X-Men Origins: Wolverine.
