There’s a growing buzz that Wesley Snipes could surprise fans by reprising his role as Blade in the Marvel Cinematic Universe sooner than expected.
While Mahershala Ali is preparing to take on the character in a new Marvel Studios project, it appears that Snipes’ portrayal of the vampire hunter isn’t over yet.
Insider Mttsh reports that Snipes could be featured again in the MCU. This comes after his character was seen alongside Elektra, played by Jennifer Garner, and Dafne Keen’s X-23, as well as Channing Tatum’s Gambit in ‘Deadpool and Wolverine.’

If Snipes truly is making a comeback, it’s thought that his return would align with a major Multiversal event.
Movies such as ‘Avengers: Secret Wars‘ are ideal for such dramatic reappearances. There’s also talk...

"There's only been one Blade. Only ever gonna be one Blade."
When Logan (Hugh Jackman) and the Merc With a Mouth (Ryan Reynolds) are banished to the Void by Mr. Paradox (Matthew Macfadyen) in Deadpool and Wolverine, they discover that a group of Multiverse Variants have banded together to make a stand against Cassandra Nova (Emma Corrin).
Joining Elektra (Jennifer Garner), X-23 (Dafne Keen) and Channing Tatum as Gambit is none other than Blade, played once again by Snipes.
With Mahershala Ali set to take over the role for the upcoming Marvel Studios reboot (the project was recently taken off Marvel's slate but is still said to be very much alive), it was assumed that Snipes' return was more than likely a one-off, but scooper Mttsh is now reporting that the original big-screen Daywalker will be back, and "sooner than we think."

Deadpool & Wolverine has brought back many familiar faces from Fox’s X-Men franchise, and it’s these exciting cameos that have helped the movie break box-office records.
One of the most eagerly awaited returns was Dafne Keen, reprising her role as Laura, aka X-23, from the 2017 film Logan.
We now know that Feige hinted the mutant era in the MCU begins with Deadpool & Wolverine, and many fans love Dafne Keen’s portrayal of X-23. Some even believe she could take over as the MCU’s main Wolverine.
There have also been insider reports saying that Keen will return in future projects. During the marketing for Deadpool & Wolverine, Keen repeatedly lied to the press and fans, saying she wasn’t in the movie—something some call “Andrew Garfield syndrome.”

Dafne Keen not only got really good at lying about having a role in “Deadpool & Wolverine,” but she also really enjoyed doing it. But when it comes to her potential future in the MCU, the actress swears to TheWrap that she’s telling the truth when she says she hasn’t been part of any conversations.
“Genuinely, I’m not lying. No, I have not been involved in any conversations,” she says. “Hopefully there have been conversations! I have no idea.”
Keen reprised her “Logan” role of X-23 — a.k.a. Laura — in the “Deadpool” threequel, Marvel’s sole movie release this year that shattered several box office records. Where is the character now? Well, she’s been living in what’s known as the Void.

With Deadpool and Wolverine now available to stream on Disney+, Moviefone has shared an exclusive interview with Dafne Keen, who made her return as Laura, aka X-23, in Marvel Studios' first R-rated movie after debuting as the character in James Mangold's Logan.
Keen, who has already expressed interest in reprising her role for more adventures in the MCU, says she "really hopes to get the call... even for just a tiny, silly cameo."
"I've said this a trillion times, I would play Laura for the rest of my life, and I would be content. She's the most incredible character to play.”
The video also includes some behind-the-scenes footage that wasn't in the theatrical release of the movie, and it seems Laura's fireside scene with Logan was originally going to be longer.
We see both characters pop their claws in reaction to someone approaching, and there's also some new dialogue from Laura,...

Where Are They Now? Checking in on Former Child Stars - Main Image
Being a celebrity is no joke, and while some adults have problems with handling wealth and fame, several child stars had to deal with so much pressure at a much earlier age.
Child actors have been known to have very tough lives outside of the lighthearted shows they’ve been on, and their transition to adulthood is usually paved with all kinds of mistakes made public because of their status.
Not everyone manages to make the peaceful transition from child actor to just actor, and we take a look at the status of some promising young talents from before and where they ended up today.

To celebrate Deadpool & Wolverine's Disney+ debut, Ryan Reynolds has shared a new deleted scene from the movie on his social media accounts.
The sequence takes place immediately after the Deadpool Corps decide to stop fighting so they can celebrate the arrival of Peter. Earth-10005's Merc with the Mouth decides to join in and share how his Peter gave him a sense of belonging...only to be immediately met with a chorus of insults from the Corps.
"Get f***ed, d***head," Kidpool tells him before another chimes in to say, "Go back to Canada, a**hole."
However, the biggest insult comes when Welshpool - played by Wrexham footballer Paul Mullins - gives Wade Wilson two fingers and shouts, "F*** off, c***!" Yes, Deadpool & Wolverine very nearly featured the Marvel Cinematic Universe's first true C-bomb.
Of course, the movie did include the line "thunderc*** from down underc***" but...

As we mentioned a little earlier today, Deadpool & Wolverine is now streaming on Disney+. With a record-breaking $1.3 billion at the worldwide box office, we're guessing most of you have seen it already; now, though, you can watch it at home whenever you like.
While doing so, you might want to grab some popcorn. Perhaps you can put that in one of the highly sought-after Wolverine popcorn buckets released earlier this summer?
However, you probably shouldn't take any cues from the Merc with the Mouth while doing so! Yes, he uses it in exactly the Nsfw way you'd expect.
We know Ryan Reynolds and Leslie Uggams recently reunited to shoot additional material and it looks like that will mostly take the form of promo videos like this (we'd imagine something is coming for Christmas and the rest will be used for the threequel's planned FYC campaign).

Deadpool & Wolverine is now streaming on Disney+, and Marvel Studios has just shared a few new posters for the movie highlighting some very different - and undeniably intriguing - team-ups we didn't get to see.
The first shows Cowboypool and Old Man Logan fighting side-by-side, while the second features Wolverine surrounded by an endless supply of Deadpool Corps Variants. Finally, we get Dogpool and a literal Wolverine, a team-up we really wish had made it into the threequel.
Ryan Reynolds and filmmaker Shawn Levy previously said there are "hundreds" of Easter Eggs in Deadpool & Wolverine that fans have yet to spot.

In an exciting update from Marvel Studios, Kevin Feige shared major plans for Deadpool and Wolverine, two of the franchise’s most popular characters.
Speaking with Omelete, Feige explained that the studio is eager to find creative ways to bring these iconic characters into the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU).
Feige humorously mentioned that the approach for Deadpool, played by Ryan Reynolds, and Wolverine, portrayed by Hugh Jackman, will focus on their roles in upcoming projects. “We’re always looking for where to fit them in and how quickly we can do it,” he remarked.
Deadpool & Wolverine offered an exciting storyline where the two iconic characters find themselves in a sort of Marvel hero purgatory -the Void which was previously introduced during the ‘Loki’ series.

In the original concept art for Deadpool 3, Marvel fans would’ve seen some thrilling cameos: Nicolas Cage’s Ghost Rider and Ben Affleck’s Daredevil teaming up with Deadpool and Wolverine in battle. However, as we know, those plans didn’t make it to the final cut.
On Entertainment Weekly’s Awardist podcast, Ryan Reynolds shared that he, co-star Hugh Jackman, and director Shawn Levy were eager to include these iconic characters. Unfortunately, the cameos were scrapped due to budget constraints. While disappointing, it’s a reminder of the tricky balance between creative ambition and production realities.
They even approached Nicolas Cage for the role of Ghost Rider, but he turned it down. Ryan Reynolds explained that they were focused on “trying to make the movie responsibly,” as this is the most expensive Deadpool film. Despite the budget concerns, the movie is packed with cameos,...

Deadpool & Wolverine spends a lot of time in The Void and the background is littered with Easter Eggs for Marvel fans.
Among them was the only 20th Century Fox logo, of course, not to mention a Helicarrier, the Benatar, and a colonial ship many theorised might be Russell Crowe's vessel from Master and Commander: The Far Side of the World.
According to filmmaker Shawn Levy, that's not the case. However, another famous ship was considered and it would have led to an unexpected crossover with a classic Fox movie.
"We were going to have the Titanic in it," the filmmaker told Entertainment Weekly after giving the VFX credit for coming up with much of The Void's detritus. "There are some Fox-centric Easter eggs. In fact, I think Nakatomi Tower [from Die Hard] is in there, as well as the Cn Tower, weirdly. So, Canada wins!"
Levy added that...

After nearly 20 years, Channing Tatum might finally get his solo Marvel outing, thanks to a little help from pal Ryan Reynolds.
Following Tatum’s appearance as Gambit in Deadpool & Wolverine, Reynolds teased that Marvel executives are “obsessed” with the performance and he has “hope” for Gambit’s onscreen future.
“I honestly don’t know what goes on behind closed doors in the bookkeeping sessions at Marvel, but I do know that they’re obsessed with him in that role,” he said on Entertainment Weekly‘s Awardist podcast. “It’s kind of like the same situation I went through. Once you show that it works well, that’s really what they need. Sometimes they just need to see it in action.”
In 2014, test footage leaked of Reynolds’ performance as Deadpool (aka Wade Wilson), the fan reaction pushing 20th Century Fox to greenlight the 2016 first installment in his own Marvel franchise.

Deadpool & Wolverine was an action-packed thrill, packed with cameos, side characters, and plenty of familiar faces. One memorable scene takes place when Wade and Logan return to the resistance group’s hideout, where they encounter Jennifer Garner’s Elektra, Dafne Keen’s Laura, Wesley Snipes’ Blade, and Channing Tatum’s Gambit.
While we’ve seen Elektra, Blade, and Laura in the past, this was the first time Tatum’s Gambit graced the screen—and he immediately stole the spotlight. Apparently, Marvel was just as impressed, according to Ryan Reynolds:

‘Deadpool & Wolverine’ was a fun ride. There were plenty of cameos, supporting roles, and familiar faces. One scene that stood out in the movie was when Wade and Logan were brought back to the resistance group’s lair, where they were met by Jennifer Garner’s Elektra, Dafne Keen’s Laura, Wesley Snipes’ Blade, and Channing Tatum’s Gambit.
We were familiar with Elektra, Blade, and Laura before, but we haven’t seen Tatum’s portrayal of Gambit yet. But, the moment he appeared (and started talking), we were in awe. So was Marvel, at least according to Ryan Reynolds:
I honestly don’t know what goes on behind closed doors in the bookkeeping sessions at Marvel, but I do know that they’re obsessed with him in that role
It’s kind of like the same situation I went through. Once you show that it works well,...

Paul Rudd garnered a name for starring in many comedy films including The 40-Year-Old Virgin before becoming a big shot for playing Ant-Man. The 2005 film was led by Steve Carell and starred Rudd alongside Romany Malco, Seth Rogen, and Catherine Keener. Although every actor did an impressive job, Carell stole the show with his iconic waxing scene.

Steve Carell’s fans are familiar with the actor’s uncountable memorable moments from The Office. But the waxing scene from the Judd Apatow brainchild was significant in Carell’s acting career. To add genuineness to the scene, he underwent a real-life painful waxing experience, that too from a girl who Paul Rudd does not believe to be a professional waxing lady.

Deadpool & Wolverine's "The Art of the Movie" book goes on sale in a few days and a new video offers a glimpse at what's inside. That includes a long list of Variants left on the cutting room floor along with comic-accurate costumes for the Human Torch and Elektra.
For now, though, we're focusing on Wolverine. The montage featuring his many Variants remains a highlight in the Marvel Studios threequel but it's now clear that many of them didn't make the final cut.
As you'll see, a long list of alternatives was considered, including a Hulkverine and the Logan we first met in 2000's X-Men. There's also a version of the character in his Ultimate suit from the comics and a Patch who is shown standing alongside the Joe Fixit Hulk.

Months after Deadpool 2 was released in 2018, 20th Century Fox announced plans for Once Upon A Deadpool. The sequel was toned down from an R rating to PG-13 and filmmaker David Leitch returned to shoot a few new scenes, including a cameo from Fred Savage.
It made money but received a mixed response from fans and critics for being what many felt was ultimately a cash grab. Now, speculation is running rampant that we might get a Marvel Studios-produced Deadpool Holiday Special.
Deadpool & Wolverine star Ryan Reynolds took to Instagram last night to share some behind-the-scenes photos from a recent shoot with Blind Al actor Leslie Uggams. Look closely, and you'll notice that their apartment was decorated for Christmas. It seems some green screen work was also required.

There was a time when Hugh Jackman wasn't attached to Deadpool 3, and the threequel went through a few different iterations before the actor boarded the project and it became the record-breaking Deadpool & Wolverine.
One version was a low-budget tale with the Merc with the Mouth and Dopinder going on a road trip (seemingly minus any Multiversal implications whatsoever).
In an Instagram post supporting Deadpool & Wolverine's bid to have the choir version of "Like a Prayer" recognised at the Grammys as "Best Arrangement, Instrumental or Capella," Reynolds confirmed that he once imagined the song being used following Colossus's death!
"I had Like A Prayer stuck in my head for the [third] Deadpool film since 2017," the actor and writer explained. "Before Wolverine entered the chat, It was largely gonna be the same motion-control sequence I'd been dreaming about, except my dance partner was originally Colossus."
"He would have died in the preceding scene,...

In Deadpool & Wolverine, the threequel's leads crossed paths with Variants of Blade, Elektra, X-23, and Gambit in The Void. Ultimately, they'd assemble to take on Cassandra Nova's army, though only Laura was confirmed to be alive and well on Earth-10005.
Inevitably, it didn't take fans long to spot Gambit in one of the Tva's monitors during a post-credits scene which saw Wade Wilson run the tape back on his conversation with Johnny Storm.
Ryan Reynolds later released that as a deleted scene showing the X-Man walking through The Void before he turns around and a Marvel Sparkle Circle is reflected in his eyes. Post-release interviews have also strongly hinted that these heroes were sent back to their respective realities.

Deadpool & Wolverine is already available on Digital and hits DVD and Blu-ray next week. Despite that, there are quite a few people still heading to theaters to watch the R-Rated Marvel Studios threequel.
This past weekend, the movie reached $699.4 million at the international box office and $635.3 million domestically. Now, with a $1,334.6 billion total worldwide, it's managed to pass Star Wars: The Last Jedi to become the 20th highest-grossing movie of all time.
That's a phenomenal result for Deadpool & Wolverine and one which cements its place in history as one of the biggest blockbusters ever.
With any luck, this means Marvel Studios will make more R-Rated movies when the occasion calls for it. The Deadpool threequel may have earned more with a PG-13 rating but it wouldn't have been the same and benefitted greatly from being able to push the boundaries.

A few weeks ago, there were rumblings online that Deadpool & Wolverine stars Ryan Reynolds and Hugh Jackman might be in the mix to host next year's Oscars. Now, Deadline has confirmed that is indeed the case.
However, the trade has learned that the plan would be for them to be part of a series of rotating hosts, with each individual or pair doing part of the show (this is a result of the Academy's hope to increase interest in the awards show following years of declining ratings).
Will Ferrell, Amy Poehler, and Dwayne Johnson have also been approached, though the latter is eyed by the Academy on an almost yearly basis. Kevin Hart and Chris Rock are no longer being considered, while Jimmy Kimmel and John Mulaney have both turned the gig down.

“Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power” just wrapped up Season 2 and the wait for next season could be a long one.
Luckily, there’s no shortage of incredible TV floating around. While everyone waits likely years for their next chance to step foot in the Second Age of Middle-earth, there are plenty of fantastical shows to keep up with in the meantime.

Leslye Headland served as the creator and showrunner for The Acolyte. The series received mostly negative reviews from critics and fans alike and was canceled after one season. However, in an interview, Headland discussed her approach to the story which explores the Sith and their rule of two while taking inspiration from George Lucas’ prequel trilogy.
Leslye Headland created The Acolyte (Credits: Lucasfilm).
Headland explained that in the series most of the characters believed they were doing the right thing and had a compelling reason for this approach. Headland’s comments prove that despite the show’s failure, she had a good starting point to craft a compelling story that could have been a fine addition to the galaxy far, far away.

Another Deadpool & Wolverine deleted scene has been officially released today and this one shows more of the budding romance between Hunter B-15 and Peter.
They share a kiss before the former returns to the Tva and, when Peter enters his apartment, he declares he's in love to new roommates, Deadpool Corps members Kidpool and Headpool.
It's a fun scene, but one we're not surprised ended up on the cutting room floor. Hunter B-15 is a pretty serious character and a romance with Peter somewhat cheapens that. It also doesn't make a ton of sense that these two dangerous members of the Corps would be left to roam free on Earth-10005.
The Tva will likely play a role in Avengers: Doomsday and Avengers: Secret Wars, even if it's just to offer some exposition about the Multiverse and why Kang's Variants no longer pose a threat.

The Star Wars franchise has seen quite a bit of success in launching new stories via the Disney Plus streaming service. We don't have to look far to support that comment, as The Mandalorian - the very first Disney Plus series ever - has gone on to become one of the franchise's biggest success stories, all while introducing viewers to a new Star Wars character, who has since become a major player in the saga.
Lucasfilm attempted to recreate that strategy again with the more recent The Acolyte. Like The Mandalorian, the show didn't feature any of the well-known characters from the well-known franchise, distancing itself from the iconic Skywalker Saga through its timing and setting, all while focusing on new, original characters in a story that played out more like a murder mystery than anything else.
Unfortunately, the show only lasted for one season as it was cancelled shortly...

Jodie Turner-Smith, who played a role in the canceled Star Wars series “The Acolyte”, publicly disagreed with Disney for staying quiet about online harassment against the show’s cast. Turner-Smith acted as Mother Aniseya in the series. She expressed frustration that Disney did not speak out against racist and mean comments aimed at the cast, especially her co-star Amandla Stenberg.
In a recent interview with Glamour Magazine, Turner-Smith stated, “Disney needs to stop being silent when people are aggressively attacked online with racism and abuse. It’s just not fair to say nothing. It’s really unfair.” Some fans accused “The Acolyte” of having a “woke” message, even before it was canceled. The show, set in the early years of the Star Wars universe, was ended by Lucasfilm after one season due to low viewership and mixed reviews. However, Disney did not comment on harassment of the cast during this time.

Hugh Jackman has established himself as a prominent figure in the entertainment industry, with a career spanning over two decades. Marvel’s very own Wolverine, the Australian star has become a cultural phenomenon due to this particular role. However, Jackman is also well-respected for a range of his other works, in addition to his sprawling philanthropy.
Jackman’s fame and fortune have only grown since his debut in the late 1990s, cementing his place as one of Hollywood’s highest-paid actors.

Jodie Turner-Smith, who played Mother Aniseya in The Acolyte, has called out Disney for not doing enough to defend the cast - particularly Amandla Stenberg - when they were targetted for online abuse.
Back in August, we got word that Lucasfilm/Disney would not be moving forward with a second season of the Disney+ Star Wars series, despite several major storylines and character arcs being left unresolved by the end of the season 1 finale.
The decision was met with a mixture of indifference and disappointment, but it's very clear that a lot of Star Wars fans - and some of the actors involved with the show - were surprised by this development.
The "official" reason for the show's cancellation was low/declining viewership, but many feel the intense backlash from a vocal minority may have factored into the decision. We may never know if this was the case, but Stenberg...
Back in August, we got word that Lucasfilm/Disney would not be moving forward with a second season of the Disney+ Star Wars series, despite several major storylines and character arcs being left unresolved by the end of the season 1 finale.

The MCU is gearing up to introduce the Mutants, something we’ve known since Disney acquired Fox. While you could argue that the Mutants have already made a few brief appearances, the X-Men themselves haven’t yet entered the MCU.
Although their full debut is still some time away, Marvel has promised a major introduction in the future.
Even though we don’t know all the details, it’s clear that Feige and Marvel are taking their time to get it right. The X-Men’s arrival in the MCU will be a major moment and will shape the franchise for years to come.
Given the importance of this debut, fans are understandably anxious about who Marvel will cast. With an already-established X-Men universe, comparisons between the old and new casts are inevitable.

The MCU will soon welcome the Mutants. This is nothing new, of course, as we have known this since Disney acquired Fox. You may argue that the Mutants have already made multiple appearances in the MCU, but the X-Men haven’t. Although it will take some time for them to do so, we have been promised a significant debut in the future.
Now, even if we are unaware of all the specifics, we are confident that Feige and Marvel want to do this correctly because the X-Men’s MCU debut will be significant and will influence the franchise for years to come.
With that in mind, it’s easy to see why fans are anxious about Marvel’s casting choices. The X-Men already have an established fictional universe, so comparisons with the MCU version are inevitable. While we still have no idea who will be cast, Reddit user Time-Classroom-2442 has...

Deadpool & Wolverine is now available on Digital platforms and, thanks to io9, we have one final featurette clip focusing on those familiar superheroes Wade Wilson and Logan encountered in The Void.
As well as plenty of new shots of the Variants in action, we hear from Wesley Snipes on his return as Blade along with Jennifer Garner who addresses suiting up as Elektra again.
Snipes' return as Blade has left a lasting impression on fans, though they never expected him to reprise the role. However, everything changed when Reynolds - who Snipes famously didn't get on with while making the Blade threequel - sent a text message to his old co-star saying, "I want to talk to you."
Earlier this year, Snipes recalled, "I did not think it was possible. I didn't think we would be able to pull it off. I didn't think that Marvel was into it,...

Another Deadpool & Wolverine deleted scene has been released and it raises some interesting questions about where this sequence was meant to fit into the R-Rated threequel.
Mr. Paradox - who has clearly crossed paths with the Merc with the Mouth at this point given the state of his face - has tracked Hunter B-15 down to ask for resources he intends to use for the observation post on Earth-100005. Of course, we know he wants those to speed up construction on the Time Ripper, but the Loki character isn't biting.
This doesn't feel like an overly necessary scene...which explains why it ended up on the cutting room floor! However, we're guessing it was meant to better explain how Hunter B-15 later figures out what Mr. Paradox is up to.
With Deadpool & Wolverine's Digital release just a couple of days away, there are lots of epic moments...

"Blade won't admit it, but he wants a S'more."
Deadpool and Wolverine is set to arrive on digital on October 1, before hitting 4K Ultra HD, Blu-ray, and DVD a few weeks later on October 22, and the gag-reel from the extra features has now been officially released online (via Mashable).
The minute-long video features some very funny out-takes, with Ryan Reynolds clearly improvising some of his dialogue (he comes up with some hilariously inventive alternate middle names for Tony Stark). We also get to see a few shots from scenes that didn't make the final cut, including Wade Wilson attempting a piggyback (which we saw in set photos), and the Merc With a Mouth interrupting Logan's (Hugh Jackman) conversation with X-23 (Dafne Keen) to bring Blade (Wesley Snipes) a S'more.
