Fox X-Men characters are set to appear in Deadpool & Wolverine

Currently, the only confirmed members of the Fox X-Men cast who are going to feature in Deadpool & Wolverine are Hugh Jackman's Wolverine and Aaron Stanford's Pyro. There have been rumors in the past that there will be other cast members from the previous X-Men movies appearing in the forthcoming Marvel Studios film as well.

Actor James Marsden, who portrayed Cyclops in the X-Men films, also reacted to the speculations about him and other mutants returning to the next film. On The Playlist Podcast, Marsden said:

"I keep hearing about that; I can't walk down the street without someone asking me. So, evidently, there's a lot of chatter about that."

Marsden continued:

"We were near the Deadpool stages up there in Pinewood actually (when shooting Sonic 3). Yeah, this is a little bit of a Pandora's box."

Deadpool & Wolverine will be the first Marvel Studios film that will solely feature characters from the Fox X-Men films and bring them over to the Marvel Cinematic Universe. It will see Deadpool go on a multiversal journey alongside Wolverine to save the Sacred Timeline.

Directed by Shawn Levy and starring Ryan Reynolds and Hugh Jackman, the film will hit theaters on July 26, 2024.
