The entire team of the original movie Deadpool is coming back, from Blind-Al to Vanessa, the driver, Colossus, and Negasonic Teenage Warhead will be reprising their roles. Cable is in the mix, he is the time-travelling son of Cyclops and Madelyne Pryor (a clone of Jean Grey) who was trained to be the warrior in the future. Moreover, Domino (mercenary turned X-Men) has been confirmed by the makers. Both of these can play an anti-hero in order to balance the scales to Deadpool’s “happy go murdery” persona. There is also strong speculation that there will be a new kind of mutant, never before seen in the comics or movies.
“I think what we stumbled into was a new tone, and I haven’t seen Logan, so it’s tough to say if they have it, but I think we hope to have our own universe that is defined less by characters and timelines and things like that and more by tone. The hope is Deadpool 2 and X-Force and future movies all be this new, consistent, sillier tone. More self-aware tone. And edgier and rated-R tone. We want to be establishing the universe but also focusing on each individual movie and not worrying too much about building a larger threat to the world or a larger plot machination.”
He added: “There is a responsibility we have towards the X-Force universe, and I do think we will not disappoint the fans going into Deadpool 2. Its purpose is not to set up X-Force. It will likely set up X-Force, but the drive of the movie won’t be our eyes on Movie 3.”
We can expect more set photos, leaks, teasers, behind-the-scenes footage etc. in the coming weeks. The movie is a hard R and will be over the top when it comes to trolling fellow superheroes and villains.
The official set photo revealed Wade Wilson all suited up and lounging outside Charles Xavier’s mansion. Deadpool posted this on twitter:
“Dropped by the X-Mansion. Big f*cking surprise. No one’s home.”
The director David Leitch who is taking over the reins of the sequel from Tim Miller (who left due to creative differences) sat down with The Huffington Post and was asked about this fan theory. And guess what, he didn’t reject it outrightly like some crackpot fan theory. He said:
“That’s a really interesting question. I think that people should continue to theorize who that old man was.”
There is a lot of buzz off-late around casting news related to Deadpool sequel. Firstly, it was confirmed that Josh Brolin will play Cable (he is already Thanos in MCU).
Also, we know that Brianna Hildebrand will be reprising her role as Teenage Negasonic Warhead and Morena Baccarin to come back as Vanessa Wilson (Wade’s girlfriend). There is a strong speculation that she may also take up superhero mantle (Copycat). Recently, the news came that Zazie Beetz is playing Domino, a dangerous mercenary with insane superpowers.
It is quite fitting as the first Deadpool full look was also done in a similar manner, who knows maybe a Domino spin-off movie already in the works.
As soon as a new director came, casting went in a new direction. The casting call described her as “no-nonsense badass who rarely shows her feelings,” equipped with “bullet-proof sarcasm” with a vulnerable human side.
Well, let’s hope for a cracker of a Deadpool movie. Till now it seems the sequel has hit the right notes to become a blockbuster.
