As anticipation builds for the premiere of ‘Deadpool & Wolverine,’ director Shawn Levy has revealed exciting details about the Marvel film, promising an array of character cameos that will thrill fans. In an interview with Deadline, Levy emphasized the presence of “a lot of characters” and discussed how these cameos are seamlessly integrated into the narrative.
“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 explained.
Addressing the speculation surrounding the film, Levy acknowledged the buzz about various character appearances, confirming, “The internet is a delight of rumors about the multitude of character cameos that are in this movie. Some rumors are true, some are way off base,” according to Deadline.
One of the most persistent rumors is the possible cameo of Taylor Swift, fueled by a recent Instagram post from star Ryan Reynolds. Reynolds shared an image reminiscent of Swift’s album cover for ‘Evermore,’ reigniting speculation about the singer’s involvement in ‘Deadpool & Wolverine.’
The film, set to hit theaters on July 26, marks a significant return for Reynolds as Deadpool, a role he feared might not continue post-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, reprising his iconic role as Wolverine from the X-Men franchise. Additional cast members include Emma Corrin as Cassandra Nova and Matthew Macfadyen as Paradox, adding to the star-studded lineup of ‘Deadpool & Wolverine.’
