Deadpool & Wolverine Star Teases a Lot of ‘Surprises’ & an Abundance of Cameos

Deadpool star Karan Soni has teased the sheer amount of crowd-pleasing Marvel cameos that we will see in Deadpool & Wolverine. Speaking with Variety, Soni, who will reprise the role of reliable taxi driver Dopinder in the MCU outing, has declared that there are plenty of surprises in store when the movie lands in theaters in July.

“This new MCU version is ultra-secretive. There are a lot of surprises. Let’s just say a lot of people traveled to London.”

Soni certainly makes it sound like Deadpool & Wolverine will feature a lot of cameos, revealing that “a lot of people” traveled to London, one of the places where filming on the movie took place. So, while it has been confirmed that the likes of Aaron Stanford’s Pyro, Jennifer Garner’s Elektra, and the X-Men mutants Sabretooth and Toad will feature, it sounds like there will be many more cameos than that as Deadpool travels through the multiverse.

The actor and comedian also revealed how long Deadpool star Ryan Reynolds has been thinking (and, apparently, planning) about bringing X-Men and Logan star Hugh Jackman back as Wolverine.

“When we were making the second one, Ryan was plotting back then. I remember him spilling that at lunch one day that he had started a conversation with Hugh. I remember saying, ‘People are going to flip out!’ Then the studio got sold to Disney and a lot of other stuff happened. But, of course, Ryan followed through because it was dream casting.”

Deadpool & Wolverine Is Due to Land in Theaters on July 26

Directed by Shawn Levy from a script by the writing team of Rhett Reese and Paul Wernick, as well as Zeb Wells, Ryan Reynolds, and Levy, Deadpool & Wolverine sees Ryan Reynolds return as the beloved Marvel character, with X-Men and Logan star Hugh Jackman set to reprise the role of Wolverine.

The recent, record-breaking trailer for Deadpool 3 reveals that it will indeed center on the madness of the multiverse, as Wade Wilson is tasked with saving, well, everything by the Time Variance Authority.

The Deadpool threequel will see several stars reprise their roles from previous installments, including Morena Baccarin as Vanessa, Brianna Hildebrand as Negasonic Teenage Warhead, Leslie Uggams as Blind Al, Karan Soni as Dopinder, and Stefan Kapičić as the voice of Colossus, with Succession’s Matthew Macfadyen starring as Paradox, a TVA agent, while The Crown star Emma Corrin makes her MCU debut as Cassandra Nova, the evil twin sister of Charles Xavier.
