Deadline<\/strong> reports that Matthew Macfadyen<\/strong> has been cast in a undisclosed role for DEADPOOL 3<\/strong>. The Emmy-winning actor is best known for his work as Tom on HBO’s critically acclaimed ‘Succession’ series. While we don’t know who he’s portraying just yet, movie scooper Grace Randolph teases<\/a> she’s hearing his role “is quite big!” We’ve also heard he’s sort of a “third wheel” for Deadpool<\/strong> and Wolverine<\/strong>. Some fans think he’s playing Deadpool’s friend\/sidekick Bob<\/a>, who in the comics is an agent of Hydra; the character actually made a brief cameo in the first film.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In other casting news<\/a>, let’s celebrate! Karan Soni<\/strong> and Leslie Uggams<\/strong> are officially signed to come back as Dopinder<\/a><\/strong> and Blind Al<\/a><\/strong>, respectively. With Macfadyen, Soni and Uggams joining Ryan Reynolds<\/strong>, Hugh Jackman<\/strong>, and Emma Corrin<\/strong>, the cast is filling out quite nicely so far! Who’s next, and which FoXverse X-Men<\/strong> are joining Wolverine!? We’re hearing there should be a couple, at least!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Deadpool 3<\/em> begins filming this May in Vancouver and London through October with director (and producer) Shawn Levy for a November 8, 2024<\/strong> theatrical release. Writers Rhett Reese and Paul Wernick return, with Zeb Wells (She Hulk, Ms. Marvel). Lizzie Molyneux-Loeglin and Wendy Molyneux of Fox’s Bob’s Burgers<\/em> penned an early draft.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
