5 Non-MCU Characters I'd love to see in Deadpool & Wolverine
Superbowl Sunday saw the return of everyones favorite Merc with a Mouth Deadpool in the trailer for his upcoming new movie Deadpool & Wolverine.
And as usual, Marvel hooked me.
Some fans have seen it as a return to form for the MCU, others as business as usual for Ryan Reynolds, and some just couldn't get over the little bit of Wolverine we got.
Myself, I was mainly focused on one thing. Aaron Stanford.
For those not in the know, this clip from the trailer shows Aaron Stanford returning as minor villain and asshole Pyro from the original X-Men Films. He was a sidekick to Magneto, and has a rivalry with Iceman in those movies.
The return of Pyro from the X-Men films confirms what most fans expected: we will see old heroes and villains from the Fox era, not just Wolverine.
And while a few have been already revealed through casting news or set photos, there are plenty more in store for us, I'm sure.
This got my head gears turning, so I decided I'd look back on the old Fox films to see who I want to return, even for the briefest moment or cameo.
None of these have been confirmed officially, so you are spoiler free from here on out. But I must warn, once I put this ideas in your head, you may be mad if they don't show up.
5. Animated Deadpool Voiced by Donald Glover
*sigh* The project I wish existed.
In 2017, Donald Glover was in development and given the green light on an animated Deadpool show. The show was to premiere on FX in 2018. However, for unknown reasons it was cancelled, and never debuted, leaving fans and Donald Glover displeased.
After the success of films like Spider-Verse, and Glovers involvement with Marvel, having him come in for a scene where he fights with or against Ryan Reynolds Deadpool could be a fun nod to the fans and maybe give the project the boost it needs to somehow come back.
But alas, I'm still hoping Spider-Verse will bring back Spectacular Spider-Man, so what do I know?
4. X-23
If there is a character ripe for a spin-off from the old X-Men universe, it was definitely X-23.
It's surprising to me she hasn't been revealed as a main member of the cast. She's a character I think few people talk about anymore, but was a crucial part of the film. I'd say Logan is up there and one of the best superhero movies.
Dafne Keen and Hugh Jackman made Logan such an impactful moving film. I'd love to see where the character has gone since Logan, and see how them reuniting effects the film.
Not to mention if she fought Deadpool, it would be one hell of a good (and kind of funny ) fight.
3. Apocalypse
Do I like this character? Absolutely not.
Do I want him here just for the Moon Knight jokes? Yes.
I actually think theres a good Apocalypse in Oscar Isaac somewhere. Having Deadpool and Wolverine at one point face the X-Men's Thanos sounds pretty cool, and Isaac is a great comedic and dramatic performer who deserves another shot.
I wouldn't mind a CGI version that looks more comic accurate, like Beast in the Marvels.
But again. I really just want Deadpool to say "So are you Steven or Marc?"
2. The Human Torch
Similarly, I want the Captain America jokes.
But if there's one thing we can all agree on, it's that Human Torch was by far the best part of those Fantastic Four movies.
There's just so many things you can do with it!
We can have him in the frosted tips, in a new Fantastic Four uniform. Maybe even have him fight Pyro, stop a fire guy with a fire guy. Or have him come out from behind a train like Captain America in Infinity War, but it's Johnny.
Having Evans play across Reynolds even for a bit would make so many fans happy and get more cheers then No Way Home.
Besides Evans has done a cameo in a Shawn Levy film starring Ryan Reynolds once. He can do it again.
1. Legion
The rumored main villain of this film tends to have a very particular vendetta with Charles Xavier. So why not use his son to acquire power?
Legion is the acclaimed show from Noah Hawley starring Dan Stevens as David Haller, a mutant with schizophrenia and basically unlimited power.
Dan Stevens is incredible in this show, and I think bringing in such a powerful X-Men character would make for some fun interactions and extreme stakes. Not to mention the insane visuals, all while delving deep into the psyche of both are protagonists.
While I doubt all of these characters show up, if one or two do, I'd be extremely happy. We'll just have to wait and see.
Thank you so much for reading! Please consider following, and check out my socials and other sites here! And let me know: Who do you want to see in Deadpool and Wolverine?

Long post - press J or hard scroll to skip.
Well I'm half way through Twin Peaks season 2, the 'eveel canadiens' are back and the general from stargate was just seemingly abducted by aliens and well...
I wasn't exactly expecting "violence against women is the inevitable outcome of men being sold an impossible dream of patriarchal power under capitalism and it's need for a subservient unpaid household labour class" or "not a girl, not yet a women: late teens live in a crushing state of wanting and being perceived that's never in their favour"
... But I was hoping for a little more substance and a few less repeated hijinks. It somehow got bad weird with a few moments of good weird instead of mostly good weird.
Ok here's a chart, uh 12 to 21 are going to be rough, might live blog nonsense under spoiler cuts to cope with the wackness - I've put current ramblings under the cut
I like odd, off kilter, genre hopping, mood switching, outright bizarre TV (Watch Legion FX!) so I hooe the quality picks up.
If this was weekly, i'd have tapped out.
To name a few current plot holes:
I'm supposed to buy that the whole town believes something supernatural happened (or they came up with a cover story off screen) and allowed a nice wake instead of riots.
We had a scene where the LEOs have all just seen someone either go insane or reveal a possession and they talk about the possibility that pure evil can possess people, one finds it implausible and another counters "you find it easier to believe a man could hurt his own daughter?"
And I'm sat there doing "U wot m8?!" face at what's supposed to be a serious reflective moment - like, just how many cases of domestic violence have they ignored to not hurt their idea of loving fathers also having bully and entitlement sessions? No abandoned teens, no kids taken out of school early to be domestic workers or teen brides?
My opinion may change in a few episodes but I would like to focus on the town that fostered this mess, enabled it, looked away as their teens were clearly hurting and hasn't really had a reckoning about all the other daughters.
Slim to no chance of that but might get Cooper diving head first into the spirit world if that's the evil we're tackling here. I'd be ok with that kind of bizarre.
I like the spectrum of female characters and that they're not all rivals. Shades of messy. Shelly and Norma deserve the world 🌷🌷.
