As a hardcore gamer and comic book enthusiast who grew up reading X-Men stories, I was beyond excited for “Deadpool & Wolverine.” The rumors of potential cameos swirling around the internet had me on the edge of my seat, fueling my anticipation even further. But as someone who’s been burned before by false leaks and misinformation, I tried to keep a level head and not get too carried away.
Contains spoilers for “Deadpool & Wolverine”
In a comic book movie featuring the Multiverse, it’s common to expect numerous cameos from popular characters. The anticipation begins before the release, with fans speculating about which beloved characters like Deadpool and Wolverine might make an appearance. Social media buzzes with rumors of potential guest stars in the weeks leading up to the premiere. Some rumors proved accurate, while others did not. Now we understand why some rumor-spreaders may have been incorrect.
Wendy Jacobson, the executive producer, spoke to GamesRadar+ about some deceitful actions that might have taken place online and offline to preserve secrecy regarding the film. The origin of these deceptions remains uncertain, but they led to a great deal of unwarranted conjecture. For instance, James Marsden hinted at Cyclops’ return in “Deadpool & Wolverine,” an indication that didn’t materialize. Similarly, Halle Berry fueled fan excitement by sporting a questionable new hairstyle, but her rumored comeback as Storm proved to be baseless.
In simpler terms, the team-up of Deadpool and Wolverine doesn’t feature other X-Men characters such as Charles Xavier, Magneto, or Beast. There are no unexpected appearances by Spider-Man, and contrary to some fans’ speculation, Taylor Swift does not portray Dazzler or Lady Deadpool in the story. However, this absence of certain stars doesn’t diminish the production’s allure as the cameos that do materialize are impactful. Jacobson’s remarks emphasize the importance of fact-checking information on the internet.
Deadpool & Wolverine has cameos galore with Johnny Storm, X-23, and more
Apart from some lesser-known X-Men antagonists like Pyro (portrayed by Aaron Stanford), who were featured in the previews, the film “Deadpool & Wolverine” kept most of its cameos hidden until its premiere. Looper accurately predicted all five of these unexpected and extravagant appearances: Henry Cavill portrayed a distinct version of Wolverine, while Elektra (Jennifer Garner), Laura aka X-23 (Dafne Keen), Gambit (Channing Tatum), and Blade (Wesley Snipes) also made appearances. Chris Evans joined the cast as Johnny Storm, but Deadpool first mistook him for Captain America. Blake Lively provided Lady Deadpool’s voiceover. Other notable voice roles included Matthew McConaughey as Cowboy Deadpool and Nathan Fillion as Headpool.
In this production, every appearance holds significance and was carefully planned out by Wendy Jacobson. She emphasized that each character had a pivotal role or a well-defined arc, stating, “Everyone who joins us has a crucial storyline function, be it a beginning, middle, or end.” This inclusive process allowed the resistance members to seek closure and gave Wolverine the motivational push he required from Laura. Johnny Storm supplied essential background information before encountering Cassandra Nova (Emma Corrin) and added humor in an amusing post-credits scene. Meanwhile, Cavill’s portrayal of Wolverine offered a glimpse into potential future developments.
A larger number of cameos than necessary might have disrupted the storyline and solely existed to please fans. For those seeking a film filled with Marvel actors, they need not worry as “Avengers: Secret Wars” is expected to feature many well-known figures.
