New Deadpool 3 set photos reveal a connection to the Fantastic Four in the Marvel Cinematic Universe and hint at exciting story elements.
Deadpool 3 is one of 2024’s most highly anticipated movies, and fans cannot wait to see Hugh Jackman’s Wolverine team up with Ryan Reynolds’ Merc with a Mouth in the action-packed project. For many weeks, there have been rumors about the movie bringing back major characters in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Jennifer Garner’s Elektra and other characters are rumored to cameo in the upcoming film. However, new set photos suggest a significant Marvel team’s involvement in the upcoming movie.
New Deadpool 3 set photos with a watermark with the word “Splash” on them (via @CanWeGetToast) revealed the initial glimpse of what appears to be the Fantastic Four‘s Fantasticar in the highly anticipated movie. A “4” can be seen at the front of the car, hinting that the Fantastic Four might be involved. In addition to the automobile, the photo also revealed the comeback of a character from an X-Men movie. The picture shows X-Men villain Toad riding the car, but it’s not confirmed if the actor, Ray Park, will reprise his role.
But fans might have to wait for the MCU’s version of the team. Since Marvel’s Fantastic Four movie is set to premiere in 2025, a year after Deadpool 3, it’s doubtful that the group will appear in the film. Still, the photo has made everyone excited about what’s to come. Phase 5 of the Marvel Cinematic Universe didn’t turn out how Kevin Feige and others would have wanted it to be. But it’s time to look at the future and make amends, and Deadpool 3 may kick off the MCU’s new conflict. Even though Marvel Studios’ new Fantastic Four movie is coming in 2025, Deadpool 3 could be the title where they start hinting at the team joining the MCU.
The news of the Fantastic Four playing a significant role in the upcoming movie comes amid rumors of the original 2005 Fantastic Four cast appearing in Deadpool 3. It’s unclear if the team will be in the film or how much they will be involved, but the thought of Deadpool 3 featuring several characters from the past is intriguing. The recent set photos have excited fans about the things to come, and they will be looking forward to seeing some familiar faces in Deadpool 3.
Deadpool 3 is scheduled to release in theaters on July 26, 2024.
