Which X-Men and villains may return in Deadpool 3?
According to insider @CanWeGetToast, Halle Berry’s Storm, Famke Janssen’s Jean Grey, and James Marsden’s Cyclops will be appearing in the upcoming Deadpool sequel. Not only that, but the movie will also apparently feature a returning X-Men villain and a returning MCU villain, though they didn’t reveal the identities of the two antagonists.
Deadpool 3 will reunite lead star Ryan Reynolds with Free Guy and The Adam Project filmmaker Shawn Levy, who has signed on to helm the long-awaited project. The third installment will also feature the return of Leslie Uggams as Blind Al, Morena Baccarin as Vanessa, Rob Delaney as Peter, Stefan Kapicic as Colossus Karan Soni as Dopinder, Brianna Hildebrand as Negasonic Teenage Warhead, and Shioli Kutsuna as Yukio.

Following his stellar performance in 2017’s Logan, Hugh Jackson is finally coming out of superhero retirement to reprise his iconic role as Wolverine in Deadpool 3. In addition, the movie will also welcomed the addition of Marvel newcomers Emma Corrin and Matthew Macfadyen.
The first two Deadpool films are both box-office successes as they earned a combined worldwide gross of over $1.5 billion. They were both written by Rhett Reese and Paul Wernick, with the first one directed by Tim Miller and Deadpool 2 directed by David Leitch.
