A new rumor has surfaced for Deadpool & Wolverine that claims to reveal three specific characters who will appear in the movie and how these characters will fit into the story.
One of these characters involves Jennifer Garner’s Electra, which is a role that was already confirmed. Then there are Channing Tatum’s Gambit and Dafne Keen‘s X-23.
Gambit and Keen have been rumored in the past, but now we are hearing it from @MyTimeToShineH, who has turned out to be a reliable inside scooper.
The insider also adds some additional information on the character, though, which is where things get interesting. Apparently, Elektra, Gambit, and X-23 are all members of a resistance group that has teamed up in The Void to fight back against Cassandra Nova and the villains who surround her.
It’s also said that Cassandra takes pleasure in killing Professor X’s Variants, likely explaining why she steps out of his wheelchair in the film’s trailer.
As for that portal we saw in the trailer, there are people saying that the psychic is using a sling ring taken from a dead Doctor Strange Variant who, in his reality, was Sorcerer Supreme.
There’s no other details regarding that, but I love the fact that these three characters might actually be teaming up in the movie! That will be fun to see.
This is all just a rumor for now, but when it comes to this Deadpool & Wolverine movie, all bets are off and anything is possible!
In this new story, Deadpool is recruited by the TVA to save the Sacred Timeline and he recruits Wolverine to help him with the job. This is a journey that Wolverine initially doesn’t want any part of. But after a big mutant brawl, he signs up.
In the film, “After facing some professional setbacks while going through a midlife crisis. Wade Wilson decides to officially retire Deadpool and becomes a used car salesman.
“But when his friends, family, and the whole world are at stake, Deadpool decides to bring his katanas out of retirement. He recruits an unwilling and wary Wolverine to not only fight for their survival but ultimately, their legacy.”
It’s also explained: “That f–king irresponsible hero Deadpool will change the history of the MCU with Wolverine!?”
The confirmed cast for the movie includes Ryan Reynolds as Deadpool, Hugh Jackman as Wolverine, Emma Corrin as Cassandra Nova, Morena Baccarin and Stefan Kapicic as Vanessa and Colossus, Matthew Macfadyen as a TVA Agent, and Leslie Uggams as Blind Al.
They are joined by Brianna Hildebrand and Shioli Kutsuna, who will also return to the franchise as Negasonic Teenage Warhead and Negasonic Teenage Warhead’s girlfriend Yukio. It was previously confirmed that Jennifer Garner will return as Elektra in the movie.
Deadpool & Wolverine will hit theaters on July 26th!
