Ryan Reynolds Teases Why Fans Will Enjoy the Cameos in Deadpool & Wolverine
During the same talk-show apperance, Reynolds also teased fans regarding some of the cameos in the upcoming Deadpool threequel, which marks Hugh Jackman‘s return to the role of Wolverine.
However, Reynolds refrained from using the words “cameos” as he felt the guest apperances had more weight. He said:
I would say that they’re more surprises because they have beginnings, middles, and ends.
The actor stressed that the cameos were not added simply to shock the viewers and mattered to the overall story being told. From Reynolds’ words, it is safe to say that the cameos in Deadpool & Wolverine will be satisfying for fans.
In recent times, films such as The Flash, Thor: Love and Thunder, and The Marvels have greatly relied on cameos for nostalgic value and one-off gags. Hence, given Reynolds’ statement, it is safe to say that the cameos in Deadpool & Wolverine will be different and hold emotional weight.
Deadpool & Wolverine is slated to release on July 26, 2024.
