Deadpool‘s role may have a surprising transition in Avengers: Secret Wars following Avengers: Doomsday‘s events. The awaited MCU movie arrives in one month.
Marvel insider My Time To Shine Hello recently claimed on X that Ryan Reynolds’ Deadpool will have a larger involvement in Secret Wars than Doomsday. This means fans who want him to have a longer screen time in the upcoming film will be disappointed.
While the scooper has a credible track record, fans should still take the latest rumor with a grain of salt unless Marvel shares any official update on Secret Wars’ cast.
Who do we know is definitely starring in Avengers: Secret Wars?
Marvel has yet to announce the full cast of Avengers: Secret Wars. However, early reports have hinted at familiar faces who will definitely return in the movie after Doomsday’s events. Robert Downey Jr. is confirmed to reprise his role as the supervillain Victor von Doom/Doctor Doom.
Besides the former Iron Man actor, Secret Wars will also feature Benedict Cumberbatch as Doctor Strange, alongside Simu Liu as Shang-Chi, Anthony Mackie as Sam Wilson/Captain America, Letitia Wright as Shuri/Black Panther, and Hayley Atwell as Peggy Carter, reports People. The Fantastic Four members will also return, including Pedro Pascal as Reed Richards/Mr. Fantastic, Vanessa Kirby as Sue Storm/Invisible Woman, Joseph Quinn as Johnny Storm/Human Torch, and Ebon Moss-Bachrach as Ben Grimm/The Thing.
Another Secret Wars’ other confirmed cast member includes A Quiet Place’s Noah Jupe. However, his character details are still under wraps. Early reports suggest that he may portray an older version of Franklin Richards. But all unverified rumors and claims should be taken with strong caution at the moment.
Directed by Joe and Anthony Russo, Avengers: Secret Wars hits theaters on December 17, 2027. The movie will take place after Doomsday. It will also conclude the ongoing multiversal storyline that kicked off more than five years ago.
