Many fans guessed it would either beKingsmanstarTaron EgertonorHarry PotteractorDaniel Radcliffe, both rumored top choices for the replacement ofHugh Jackmanas Wolverine. They are pretty much aware of the buzz circulating online; in fact, Egerton toldTotal FilmviaThe Direct:
“I’m too old for it now. I think that ship has probably sailed. Yeah, that whole Wolverine thing – I get asked about it, and no matter what you say, it gets turned into what people want you to say about it. I’m not going to be the guy to play Wolverine.”

Similarly, Radcliffe debunked the speculation via an interview withVanity Fairthat he was bulking up for the coveted Marvel role. While he feels honored to have been associated with the famed hero, he is not up for it.
“I got buff because I am obsessive, and I want to… You’ve seen my parents, they’re like insane fitness people. So that’s just been passed on. But no. No Wolverine. Flattered, but no.”
Of course, if either of them was involved inDeadpool 3, they would not want to spoil the fun for the audience. If the scooper’s information proves to be true, then fans will soon meet a new version of Wolverine that would perhaps continue the narrative of Jackman’s iconic character in future MCU.
Aside from Wolverine’s variant making a cameo, there will also be an onslaught of surprise appearances from other popularX-Mencharacters, such as Professor X, Magneto, Storm, Cyclops, and Jean Grey.

“I think it’s a tightrope walk. I mean most of these movies are always a tightrope walk of tone, so in this instance, though, you have a collision of two pretty iconic characters that exist in the Marvel Ancillary Universe [laughs] — we’re in the Marvel Cinematic Universe at this point.”
Reynolds also remarked that they tried to find a way to service both characters that is most authentic for each of them. The official teaser forDeadpool 3is out now.Deadpool & Wolverinehits theaters on July 10, 2025.
