As the highly anticipated Deadpool & Wolverine film draws near, Funko Pop figurines have once again sparked excitement among fans by hinting at a surprising new character addition to the storyline.
The upcoming Deadpool & Wolverine movie marks the third chapter in the Deadpool series, merging Ryan Reynolds' irreverent portrayal with Hugh Jackman's iconic Wolverine from the Fox Marvel universe. Alongside the promised R-rated content by the Deadpool 3 writers, fans are abuzz with speculation regarding the various cameos, including the return of familiar faces and the introduction of new characters like Dazzler.
While the film is expected to introduce key multiverse elements to the MCU, recent leaks from Funko Pop listings suggest a potential debut of a beloved character from the comic books. According to a report by ComicBookMovie, the emergence of Lady Deadpool from Earth-3013 is hinted at in the leaked second wave of Funko Pop figures for the upcoming movie. Previous set photos had already teased the possibility of Deadpool variants appearing, but this new listing provides a clearer indication.
Lady Deadpool, known for her leadership skills and relatively higher sanity compared to other iterations, has been prominently featured in comic storylines such as the Deadpool Corps series alongside characters like Dogpool and Kidpool. Speculation around casting choices has highlighted popular figures like Taylor Swift and Blake Lively as potential candidates for the role, generating excitement among MCU enthusiasts. While Swift has also been linked to other roles in Deadpool 3, details remain undisclosed by director Shawn Levy and the star herself, leaving fans in suspense until the movie's premiere.
Recent rumors have also hinted at a potential appearance of a Wolverine variant in the upcoming film, expanding the already extensive ensemble cast and narrative complexity. Lady Deadpool's established role as the rational voice among Deadpool variations offers an intriguing dynamic that could add depth to the movie's humor-driven storyline. Given the ensemble nature of the film, a spin-off project may be necessary for fans to fully explore the character of Lady Deadpool.
The distinction of Deadpool 3 as the only R-rated MCU film and its exclusive release in 2024 present a unique offering in the superhero genre landscape. Amidst growing fatigue within the genre, the unconventional approach of the Deadpool franchise seems to provide a refreshing break, with Deadpool & Wolverine potentially serving as a palate cleanser for fans awaiting its premiere on July 26, 2024.
