While filming on Deadpool 3 is underway, the ever-well-informed Can We Get Some Toast has a new scoop on the characters we’ll be seeing again in the film.
According to this indiscretion, three other original members of the X-Men will be in the game: they are Halle Berry ( Storm ), Famke Janssen ( Jean Grey ) and James Marsden ( Cyclops ). Along with Hugh Jackman ( Wolverine ), they have been part of the team since Bryan Singer ‘s first film .

Obviously they are rumors, so let’s take them with a grain of salt. If they were true, however, the film promises to be full of characters, also because Deadpool and Wolverine will be busy traveling the multiverse (in some way).
In any case, we recently confirmed that Ryan Reynolds will not be able to improvise any dialogue while the writers’ strike is underway: during the agitation of the Writers Guild Association , in fact, scripts cannot be changed. In this regard, it is important to remember the importance of this strike to protect the rights of Hollywood screenwriters. The aim is to achieve better working environments, shared payment rules, and even regulations that safeguard writers against the use of artificial intelligence by studios.
The release of Deadpool 3 is expected on November 8, 2024 in US theaters. We will keep you posted.
