Hugh Jackman's Wolverine in his yellow suit, and other characters — both returning and new to the franchise — the Marvel Cinematic Universe after Disney acquired 20th Century Fox. Deadpool is known for his hilarious jokes, which Reynolds brings to life with ease. The character's humor is a huge part of who he is, much like the past two Deadpool movies' heightened violence, so it is good that those aspects will not be lost when the MCU's Deadpool 3 comes around.
Recently, Dopinder actor Karan Soni explained Deadpool 3's differences under Disney. According to Soni, Deadpool 3 feels "the same as the other two" Deadpool movies made by Fox. The actor also mentions that the MCU movie is very "hard R," which means the R-rated violence and raunchy comedy from the past films will remain. With Deadpool 3 maintaining the elements that made the franchise's two movies so far become fan favorites, it is possible that the MCU film could bring back one particular joke from the franchise's past to make it even funnier.
Deadpool 3's Best Marvel Cameo Joke Explained
2018's Deadpool 2 included one of the best jokes in a superhero movie. The moment came when Reynolds' Wade Wilson remarked during a tour of the X-Men's mansion that the mutant team was curiously missing from the Deadpool movies, with the character not noticing that he was walking right past a meeting between the of the younger version of the team from the timeline that started with 2011's X-Men: First Class. Nicholas Hoult's Beast quickly closes the door before Wade can notice the X-Men.
Now, Deadpool 3 can bring back that joke and take it to the next level. Several Fox cameos, including multiple X-Men actors, are heavily rumored to be part of the Deadpool 3 cast. If the rumors turn out to be true, then Deadpool 3 could one-up the previous film's X-Men joke by having the returning actors appear in throwaway scenes with no major impact on the plot. That would allow the threequel to keep the running joke about the X-Men's lack of a role in the Deadpool films, while also poking fun at the concept of multiverse movies including unnecessary cameos, which is a recent negative superhero movie trend.
Why So Many Fox Characters Are Rumored For Deadpool 3
Deadpool 3 is a multiverse movie, with the character having to go from the Fox X-Men universe to the MCU in some way during the film. Deadpool 3 is rumored to include Loki's Time Variance Authority as the reason for Wade Wilson getting to the MCU. The character would attempt to escape the TVA - who would likely be after him for messing with timelines at the end of Deadpool 2 - by hopping through universes.
With that setup, it is easy to see why so many Fox characters are rumored to be in Deadpool 3, as the film could serve as a final bow for many beloved characters from Fox's Marvel franchises before the MCU reboots them with new versions. Jackman's Wolverine and Jennifer Garner's Elektra are likely not the only Fox characters to return in Deadpool 3, with fans eagerly anticipating just who might appear in the MCU movie next year.
