As Deadpool 3’s release date approaches close, fans begin to churn out crazy theories about the film and the characters that might appear. With previously leaked images of Ryan Reynolds and Hugh Jackman’s characters fighting Sabretooth, the villain from the Wolverine franchise, fans began wondering who might be the actual villain in the film.
Despite Marvel Studios successfully managing to keep these things a top secret, a scooper account on X seems to have some reports on the Deadpool 3 cast. Teasing fan theories that previously suggested that the main bad*ss from the Deadpool Killogy will appear as a villain in the film, the scooper account unofficially confirmed that very theory.
Who is the True Villain in Ryan Reynolds’ Deadpool 3?
Ever since Marvel Studios officially confirmed the development of the third sequel of the fan-favorite Deadpool, netizens have been eagerly waiting to learn about the cast and the characters involved. But like always, Marvel protected it like a well-kept secret. Simply teasing fans about bringing Hugh Jackman‘s Wolverine in the upcoming movie, Marvel left everything else about the characters, unsaid.
Thus, fans began coming up with theories to support their expectations of which other characters from the X-Men and Marvel Universe they might get to see in the movie. Soon, as production began, leaked images and alleged reports began flooding the internet, plaguing people’s minds with fake expectations. Meanwhile, one leaked image suggested the appearance of Sabretooth.
While the character of Sabretooth has been a villain from the Wolverine franchise, fans are excited to witness Ryan Reynolds and Hugh Jackman dueling with Sabretooth. But is he the actual villain in the third installment? Fans’ curiosity rose to the next level when English actor Emma Corrin got tied to the franchise. Later on, the actress reported to Empire magazine about playing a villain in the films.
