As the release date of the highly anticipated Deadpool & Wolverine film approaches, new rumors continue to circulate about its storyline and the array of cameo appearances it will feature. Among these speculations, a fresh rumor has surfaced, suggesting the possible involvement of another renowned superhero from the Marvel universe.
It comes as no surprise that Deadpool & Wolverine is rumored to include numerous cameo appearances, although specifics about these roles remain a mystery. With the movie's plot still under wraps and its release date a few months away, fan anticipation is steadily mounting. Each new rumor and teaser only serve to heighten the excitement surrounding the film. Of particular interest is the intriguing suggestion that a prominent character from Marvel's early cinematic endeavors could make a surprise cameo in this upcoming production.
According to recent reports from @MyTimeToShineH, shared on Twitter by @MarvelNewsFilms, Deadpool & Wolverine is rumored to feature a cameo by Chris Evans. However, the twist lies in Evans potentially portraying Human Torch instead of his iconic role as Captain America. Evans previously embodied Johnny Storm a.k.a. Human Torch in the Fantastic Four films of 2005 and 2007. While this news sparks excitement, fans are advised to await official confirmation before fully embracing the possibility.
Evans revisiting his Fantastic Four character after an extended hiatus presents an intriguing prospect supported by his connections to Ryan Reynolds and Shawn Levy, both involved in the production and writing of Deadpool & Wolverine, and his cameo in Levy's production, Free Guy. Notably, another rumor has emerged, suggesting the potential involvement of another actor from the same franchise in the film.
Although Evans had previously indicated the conclusion of his MCU journey with Captain America, his interest in reprising the Human Torch role has been known. Despite being omitted from the upcoming Fantastic Four reboot, with Joseph Quinn taking over, the possibility of Evans surprising audiences as Human Torch in Deadpool & Wolverine is undeniably captivating. Amidst the return of several familiar faces to the project, Evans's cameo could seamlessly integrate into the storyline, offering a chance to fully embed his character within the MCU. Even if his appearance is brief, the rumored return of Evans adds an extra layer of excitement to a film already eagerly anticipated.
Deadpool & Wolverine is scheduled for release on July 26, 2024.
