Marvel Studios may reboot the MCU following the release ofAvengers: Secret Wars. This approach would mirror the strategy employed by Comics, which used the event to establish a new continuity for the Marvel Universe. If Marvel Studios follows suit, it could provide an opportunity to revive underutilized heroes and villains while allowing for the return of beloved characters, albeit with new actors taking over the roles from some of the original stars. While this potential reboot has not been officially confirmed, it presents an exciting possibility for the MCU franchise’s future.
Deadpool 3will see the return of several characters from previousDeadpoolfilms, including Morena Baccarin as Vanessa, Brianna Hildebrand as Negasonic Teenage Warhead, and Stefan Kapičić as the voice of Colossus. The film will also introduce new additions to the cast, such asSuccessionstar Matthew Macfadyen and Emma Corrin, who isrumored to portray Cassandra Nova, Professor Charles Xavier’s long-lost sister, andDeadpool 3’s potential primary antagonist. This crossover event will mark Deadpool’s official entry into the Marvel Cinematic Universe following two successful films made outside the MCU continuity.
From Jackman’s rumored conditions forappearing inAvengers: Secret Wars, it is clear that the actor is keen on sharing the screen with other iconic Marvel characters. Maguire’s return as Spider-Man in 2021’sSpider-Man: No Way Homeproved that bringing back beloved characters from previous iterations can be a successful and emotionally resonant move. If Marvel Studios can find a way to incorporate all these characters into the narrative, it could result in a truly epic and nostalgic cinematic experience for fans. However, the feasibility of such a reunion remains uncertain, as it would require careful planning and coordination to ensure that the characters' appearances feel organic and meaningful within the MCU’s larger story arc.
