Favreau’s Happy Hogan last appeared in the film, Spider-Man: No Way Home, not counting his voice role in Marvel’s What If…?. While it’s still unclear what Hogan’s role will be in the Ryan Reynolds film, it is speculated that it will be a similar brief cameo to Thor. In recent times, Jon Favreau is more busy behind the scenes than in front of the camera.
Kevin Feige’s Confidence In Deadpool 3 Is Building Further Hype For The Film
When speaking about the film at CinemaCon in Las Vegas, Kevin Feige was clearly excited about collaborating with Ryan Reynolds on the project.

Feige’s excitement at CinemaCon got a little R-rated as he dropped the F-word to describe how amazing the film was. Feige revealed that filming Deadpool 3 was incredible and “f**king” awesome. Explaining his R-rated remark, Feige stated that his audience wouldn’t probably mind because the film is also R-rated. He shared (via Deadline Hollywood | X):
“It’s [Deadpool & Wolverine] incredible. It’s extremely exciting. And… I hope you won’t mind if I say… it’s f**king awesome. It’s f**king awesome and the reason I can say it’s f**king awesome is because it’s an R-rated movie.”
Apart from the returning cast from the first two films, there are several new additions to this new MCU film. Succession actor Matthew Macfadyen plays Mr. Paradox in the film. A Murder at the End of the World actor Emma Corrin is confirmed to play the central villain character, Cassandra Nova, in the film.
Deadpool & Wolverine is set to hit theaters on July 26, 2024.
