We got to see the return of Patrick Stewart in Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness during a scene that probably didn't need to be there and was little more than pandering fanboy nonsense. However, the pandering fanboy nonsense ended with Wanda destroying all these characters with her pinky finger, which was entertaining, at least. It sounds like it wasn't that much fun to shoot, but that likely had a lot to do with COVID-19 restrictions and closed sets. There have been plenty of photos where you can tell everyone in it wasn't in the same room at the same time, and it turns out the scene in Multiverse of Madness is very much one of those scenes. Stewart was recently on the Happy Sad Confused Podcast (via Variety) and said it wasn't a good experience for him because he had to shoot his scenes alone.
"I was alone," Stewart said. "In the big scene, each one of the leading actors had the same [solo] experience; they were shot on their own. It was frustrating and disappointing, but that's how it has been. The last few years have been challenging."
Deadpool 3 is coming out this year and also promises to bring back characters from the Fox corner of the Marvel universe. So people are asking Stewart if he will be returning as well. Stewart says, "I have every confidence he's still around," but when asked if he was asked about Deadpool 3, Stewart said, "It has come up; there's been a process. But the last two to three years have been so difficult with the labor problems and the health problems, COVID, you know…" The rumors about Deadpool 3 are that it could have a lot of cameos in the same way that Multiverse of Madness did, but doing it in a Deadpool-type way. We'll have to see; that is just a rumor, but Stewart seems down to sit in the wheelchair again should Marvel want to make it happen again. Considering the cameo at the end of The Marvels, it seems more likely than not.
Deadpool 3 Is Suddenly Standing On Its Own
2022 was monumental in Marvel Cinematic Universe news simply because we finally got definitive information on Deadpool 3 after so many years of the same people running the identical speculation posts about whether or not Disney would break something that is clearly already working. We even got word that Ryan Reynolds convinced Hugh Jackman to return as Logan, which has made some nerds very happy. Emma Corrin joined the cast and is reportedly playing an unknown villain, and Succession's Matthew Macfadyen has also joined the cast. Not long ago, we also learned that we were getting some more familiar faces in the form of Karan Soni, Leslie Uggams, Morena Baccarin, Stefan Kapicic, Rob Delaney, Brianna Hildebrand, and Shioli Kutsuna, who play Dopinder, Blind Al, Vanessa, Colossus, Peter, Negasonic Teenage Warhead, and Yukio, respectively, would be reprising their roles.
Deadpool 3 is a production that suddenly has the weight of the world on its shoulders after multiple underperformances at the box office in 2023 and delays due to the strikes, making it the only MCU film that will be released in 2024. The rumors about this film are as pervasive as they get, so who knows what the movie that makes it to the big screen on July 24, 2024, will be.
