The anticipation for Ryan Reynolds’ Deadpool 3 has reached new heights after some leaked set photos surfaced on the internet. Earlier, images of Hugh Jackman in his classic Wolverine yellow suit engaged in a battle with Reynolds’s Deadpool went viral. Among the latest images is one featuring an actor dressed in a TVA Minute Men suit from Loki. This image has reignited the rumors that Tom Hiddleston’s Loki will appear in the film.
Other photos also showed X-Men villain Toad traveling in the Fantastic Four’s Fantasticar. Earlier set photos also confirmed the return of another X-Men villain, Sabretooth. Fans meticulously analyze every detail of the movie, reflecting their high levels of anticipation.
Ryan Reynolds’ Deadpool 3 May Feature Tom Hiddleston’s Loki
The recently shared set photos from Deadpool 3, courtesy of the trusted Marvel scooper CanWeGetSomeToast, revealed an actor walking on set wearing the TVA Minute Men suit from the Disney+ series Loki. The orange suit and the helmet in the actor’s hand are instantly recognizable from the Michael Waldron series.

Earlier, popular fan theories had suggested Tom Hiddleston’s Loki might appear in the Ryan Reynolds film, given its multiversal premise. When Hiddleston was asked about this possibility after the conclusion of his Loki series, neither confirmed nor denied the rumors. During his appearance on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, Hiddleston mentioned that he was aware of Deadpool 3 but did not provide a definitive response regarding his involvement. The Avengers actor shared with Jimmy Fallon:
“I mean, I know they’re making Deadpool 3. It’s a very good question. I’m thinking of all the answers I could give it. I know that Ryan Reynolds he like, owns a football team in the UK. A soccer team.”
However, Hiddleston also indicated that his 14-year stint with Marvel has come to a worthy conclusion. The film needs to be cautious in bringing back the character after the impactful climax of Loki. It should avoid another disaster like Wanda’s appearance in Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness after the satisfying conclusion to her grief arc in WandaVision.
The set photo may not necessarily suggest the return of Tom Hiddleston. Another popular rumor suggests the appearance of Owen Wilson’s Mobius in the film, indicating that the TVA sans Loki might play a crucial role in the film.
Ryan Reynolds’ Deadpool 3 Set Photos Also Reveal Other Interesting Marvel Characters
The only official image from Deadpool 3 thus far features Hugh Jackman and Ryan Reynolds walking side by side in their Wolverine and Deadpool costumes, respectively. The first notable unofficial set photos depicted Wolverine and Deadpool engaged in combat in a barren land. Later, a destroyed 20th Century Fox logo was spotted in another set photo.
Further photos also revealed characters like X-Men villains Sabretooth and Toad. Interestingly, fans also spotted props from various Marvel projects on set. These included the famous ice cream truck from Moon Knight and Red Skull’s car from Captain America: The First Avenger. However, the most interesting image was that of the Fantasticar, which particularly excited fans due to the upcoming Fantastic Four movie.
