Among all other upcoming superhero films, Deadpool 3 stands out. Fans are more hyped than ever for the unhinged hero’s entry into the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Ryan Reynolds returns as the Merc with Mouth, Wade Wilson, alongside Hugh Jackman’s iconic Wolverine. Apart from the two superstars, the R-rated superhero comedy will also feature an impressive cast. Let’s take a look at all the confirmed actors – heroes, villains, sidekicks, and the rest – from the upcoming Deadpool 3.
Complete list of confirmed Deadpool 3 characters
Ryan Reynolds as Wade Wilson / Deadpool
The titular character Deadpool, AKA Wade Wilson, practically needs no introduction. The wisecracking mercenary has accelerated healing abilities and some severe scars on his body. The scars come from an experimental regenerative mutation to treat terminal cancer. With Deadpool 3, Ryan Reynolds’ character finally makes his way into the MCU.
Hugh Jackman as James “Logan” Howlett / Wolverine
Hugh Jackman’s portrayal of Wolverine, AKA Logan, is one of the longest-running superhero roles in history. Deadpool 3 will be the tenth time that the Australian actor will play the clawed mutant. While his character was killed off in Logan, the timeline in Deadpool 3 is set way before those events and thus wouldn’t affect his heartfelt ending.
Emma Corrin as the Lead Villain
Ever since Deadpool 3 was announced and Emma Corrin was confirmed to appear, her character has been the subject of massive online speculation. The actress, best known for playing Princess Diana in The Crown, stars as the lead antagonist.
Matthew Macfadyen in an Undisclosed Role
Matthew Macfadyen might be fresh off his Succession fame as Tom Wambsgans, but the actor has played significant lead roles even in slightly older films like Pride and Prejudice. His character in Deadpool 3 remains a mystery, but fans expect it to be significant.
