First, Patrick Stewart’s Professor was in Physician Unusual 2 and the Kelsey Grammer’s Beast simply returned for The Marvels‘ post-credits scene. 2024’s Deadpool 3 won’t solely proceed the pattern however improve it tenfold, by bringing again Ryan Reynolds’ Wade Wilson, Hugh Jackman’s Wolverine, and certain many extra, if you happen to consider even a few of the casting rumors.
And but some new leaks reveal that one more well-liked veteran of the twentieth Century Fox X-Males canon is returning to the broader Marvel multiverse.
