After the tremendous revelation of all the superheroes and villains coming back and debuting through Deadpool & Wolverine in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, the latest reports are now suggesting that Channing Tatum’s Gambit will not only make his first live-action appearance through it but will also apparently fight a diabolical villain in the movie. But he won’t be alone through this.
As it seems, Jennifer Garner’s Elektra will be returning to the screens and joining the forces as well, and will reportedly be seen fighting side-by-side with Tatum’s mutant against this big bad. Then there are all the other superheroes reported to appear in the film, who are all expected to overpower this villain, who is none other than Cassandra Nova and her reported supervillain league.
Channing Tatum’s Gambit x Jennifer Garner’s Elektra Against Cassandra Nova?
Well, that’s what it seems like. But before proceeding further, we would like to warn you to read at your own risk. Unless you wish to spoil the soon-to-be-released Ryan Reynolds-starrer R-rated action comedy for yourself, we’d recommend you not to read any further than this.
But if you do wish to know more even before the film’s release, you’re in for a (reported) treat.
According to recent reports by the renowned social media scooper MTTSH (shared by Murphy’s Multiverse), Tatum’s Remy LeBeau will be collaborating with Garner’s Elektra Natchios as well as Dafne Keen‘s X-23/Laura, and will apparently be joining the reported league of superheroes in the upcoming Deadpool installment as well.
Considering how previously, it was only reported about Tatum’s LeBeau finally making his live-action debut through this film that will also bring back Hugh Jackman‘s Wolverine, these latest reports of his pairing with Garner’s Natchios from 2003’s Daredevil have taken the excitement further up by more than just a notch.
Moreover, adding to this are reports about who this league of heroes will be teaming up against. As seen in the latest trailer of D&W, Cassandra Nova (played by Emma Corrin) will ostensibly be the big bad for this installment. However, she won’t be alone, and joining her league of villains are the baddies Lady Deathstrike and Azazel, among others.
So, according to all of these reports, not only will Channing Tatum‘s Remy LeBeau have a role that is seemingly a lot more than just a cameo, but he will also be fighting alongside the brutal beauty Jennifer Garner‘s Elektra and the rest of the heroes. For what it’s worth, even the sound of it makes it seem like peak cinema is incoming!
Fans are Beyond Excited With These New Deadpool & Wolverine Reports
As expected, the news of Tatum’s LeBeau, Garner’s Natchios, and Keen’s Laura reportedly joining Reynolds’ Wade Wilson and Jackman’s Logan in the epic battle against Corrin’s Nova and the rest of her villainous team for Deadpool & Wolverine has fans excited to the core.
Although some of them are confused about how this league of mutant and human mutate heroes could stand a chance at winning against a mind-manipulating supervillain as strong and brutal as Nova, they are still excited about the prospect of how interesting this could turn out to be.
All in all, here are their reactions as well as opinions to this news on X:

Considering that Elektra has been the only one, so far, to have been announced, I think she will be the leader.

I’m happy Channing is finally playing gambit, but will he actually have his accent. If he nails that accent I’m immediately sold 🙌

So Channing Tatum will have a cameo as Gambit, Hugh Jackman is back as Wolverine, Halle, Famke and James are reported to appear, and Jennifer Garner confirmed to reprise her role as Elektra.
Deadpool 3 is the key to open the door for Fox Studio's mutants to enter the MCU.

While the reactions and the concerns are all well and good, what’s actually worth remembering here is the fact that these are only reports that are yet to be confirmed officially. So we might as well take them with a pinch of salt before jumping to any conclusions about the movie.
That being said, Deadpool & Wolverine hits the theatres on the 26th of July, 2024.
