As excitement mounts for the premiere of ‘Deadpool & Wolverine’, director Shawn Levy has revealed exciting details about the Marvel film, promising numerous character cameos that will thrill fans.
In an interview with Deadline, Levy highlighted the inclusion of “a lot of characters” and suggested that these cameos will be seamlessly woven into the storyline.
“We didn’t want any of the cameos or characters to be the story of the movie. But they are peppered in throughout. There’s a lot of characters,” Levy revealed.
Addressing the widespread speculation about the film, Levy acknowledged the online buzz regarding various character appearances, confirming, “The internet is a delight of rumours about the multitude of character cameos that are in this movie. Some rumours are true, some are way off base,” according to Deadline.
One of the most persistent rumors is the potential cameo of Taylor Swift, sparked by a recent Instagram post from star Ryan Reynolds. Reynolds shared an image reminiscent of Swift’s ‘Evermore’ album cover, reigniting speculation about her involvement in ‘Deadpool & Wolverine’. The film, set for release on July 26, marks a significant return for Reynolds as Deadpool, a role he feared might not continue following the Disney-Fox merger.
Reflecting on this uncertainty, Reynolds admitted, “I didn’t know if I’d ever be playing Deadpool again. It’s not something I would’ve said necessarily publicly, but I didn’t know how a character like that would fit into that world [of the MCU].”
Joining Reynolds in the cast is Hugh Jackman, returning to his iconic role as Wolverine from the X-Men franchise. The film also features Emma Corrin as Cassandra Nova and Matthew Macfadyen as Paradox, enhancing the star-studded lineup of ‘Deadpool & Wolverine’.
