With Deadpool & Wolverine clawing its way to theaters in July, excitement is at a fever pitch for this multiversal Marvel mashup. The film promises a wild ride with Wade Wilson (Deadpool) and Logan (Wolverine) facing off against the villainous Cassandra Nova.
While whispers hint at cameos from some of Fox's X-Men villains joining Nova's ranks, rumors also suggest appearances by heroic mutants! Here are a few X-Men who deserve a slice of the multiversal action:
Bobby Drake (Iceman) might be the coolest X-Man who never got to be truly cool in the movies. Despite his impressive ice powers and potential to become an Omega-level mutant, Iceman stayed stuck in the background of the X-Men film trilogy.
But wait! With Deadpool & Wolverine tearing through the multiverse, could Iceman finally get his chance to shine? Here's why:
Underrated Awesomeness: Fans love Iceman, but the movies never gave him the spotlight. Deadpool & Wolverine could be the perfect platform to showcase his frosty abilities.
Rematch Time?: Pyro, Iceman's fiery foe, is confirmed for the film. Could this set up a long-awaited clash between fire and ice?
Omega-Level Potential: The movies hinted at Iceman's immense power. Deadpool & Wolverine could explore this further, making him a force to be reckoned with.
Rogue, a mutant mainstay in the X-Men universe, deserves a chance to redeem herself on the big screen. Played by Anna Paquin in the Fox X-Men films, Rogue grappled with her powers – both a blessing and a curse. Unable to touch anyone without draining their life force, she yearned for connection. Eventually, she learned to control her abilities, even stealing the powers of other mutants.
Fans were left fuming by Rogue's conclusion in X-Men: The Last Stand, where she took the mutant cure. Though the "Rogue Cut" of X-Men: Days of Future Past offered a glimmer of hope, its canonicity remains murky.
Deadpool & Wolverine's multiversal playground presents the perfect opportunity to:
Give Rogue Closure: Let fans finally know Rogue's fate. Did she keep her powers? Did she find a way to live a normal life?
Unleash Her Potential: Rogue's power absorption is a wild card, making her a valuable asset in any fight. Imagine her stealing Deadpool's healing factor or Wolverine's adamantium claws!
Redeem Her Arc: The Fox films never fully explored Rogue's emotional journey. Deadpool & Wolverine could delve deeper, showcasing her struggles and triumphs.
Laura Kinney, aka X-23, stole hearts in Logan as Wolverine's fierce and determined offspring. Created from his DNA, she possesses the same claws and healing factor, making her a formidable fighter.
With Hugh Jackman's Wolverine clawing his way back in Deadpool & Wolverine, here's why X-23 deserves to join the fray:
Continue Her Story: Don't just reboot her! Pick up where Logan left off. Show how X-23 grapples with her father's death and the weight of his legacy.
Bridge the Gaps: X-23's inclusion could seamlessly connect the Fox X-Men universe to the budding MCU mutant world.
Future Avenger?: X-23's fierce loyalty and unwavering spirit make her a perfect candidate for a future Avengers team. Imagine her alongside established heroes!
Jean Grey, the powerful telekinetic and telepathic mutant, is a cornerstone of the X-Men. Famke Janssen brought her to life in the earlier Fox films, while Sophie Turner portrayed her in the more recent ones. Jean's connection to the Phoenix Force, a cosmic entity granting immense power, has been a central part of her story.
While Fox's take on the Phoenix saga wasn't universally loved, rumors swirl that Jean Grey might grace the screen once more in Deadpool & Wolverine. Here's why her return could be epic:
The Phoenix Potential: Jean's untapped power, fueled by the Phoenix Force, could be a game-changer in the fight against Cassandra Nova.
Redemption Arc: Give Jean a chance to shine beyond the Phoenix. Showcase her telepathic and telekinetic prowess as a valuable asset to the team.
Closure for Famke Janssen?: If the rumors are true, this could be Famke Janssen's final farewell to the character, giving fans a chance to say goodbye.
Deadpool's comedic chaos and Wolverine's battle-hardened wisdom, Jean Grey could find her niche in this multiversal adventure. Will the Phoenix rise again? Only time (and box office results) will tell!
Ororo Munroe, the weather-wielding mutant goddess known as Storm, deserves a cinematic storm of her own. Halle Berry brought her regal presence to the role in the earlier X-Men films, while Alexandra Shipp took the reins in the later ones. Despite Storm's immense popularity in the comics, the Fox films relegated her to the sidelines.
Here's why a cameo in Deadpool & Wolverine could be the perfect opportunity to:
Unleash the Fury: Showcase Storm's true power! Let her manipulate the elements with devastating force, turning the tide of battle.
Beyond the Clichés: Ditch the awkward dialogue and portray Storm as the wise leader and strategist she is in the comics.
A Taste of Things to Come: Even a brief appearance could set the stage for a future solo Storm film or a prominent role in the MCU's X-Men.

Hank McCoy, the brilliant scientist and blue-furred brawler known as Beast, could be the key that unlocks the doorway between the Fox X-Men universe and the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Played by Kelsey Grammer in the later X-Men films and Nicholas Hoult in the prequels, Beast is a complex character – a mutant rights advocate with a sharp intellect and a beastly alter ego.
The Fox X-Men films never quite reached their full potential, and Beast was often underutilized. However, with Deadpool & Wolverine's multiversal adventure, there's a chance to:
Bridge the Gap: Beast's inclusion could be the bridge between the two franchises. His recent appearence in MCU's Marvel would brilliantly connect to both Fox's X-Men team and the MCU.
Grammer's Grins and Growls: Let Kelsey Grammer's portrayal shine! His Beast, with his intelligence and gruff charm, embodies the character from the comics.
A Glimpse of the MCU's Future?: The post-credit scene in The Marvels hints at Grammer's Beast existing in the MCU. Deadpool & Wolverine could solidify this connection.
Deadpool's trademark fourth-wall breaking and Wolverine's gruff demeanor would provide a unique backdrop for Beast to navigate. His appearance could be the key that unlocks a future where the X-Men seamlessly join the ever-expanding MCU. Will Beast be the mutant who paves the way for a grand X-Men crossover? Only Deadpool & Wolverine know for sure!
Scott Summers, the visor-wearing leader of the X-Men known as Cyclops, deserves a chance to redeem himself on the big screen. James Marsden brought Cyclops to life in the early X-Men films, but the character was quickly sidelined and met an unceremonious off-screen death in X-Men: The Last Stand.
The frustration is real, especially when you compare it to stellar portrayals like Cyclops in X-Men: The Animated Series and X-Men '97. With Deadpool & Wolverine's multiversal playground, Cyclops could finally get his due:
Leader of the Pack: Cyclops is a natural leader, a strategist, and a symbol of hope for mutants. Let him take charge and show his tactical brilliance.
Beyond the Beams: Explore Cyclops' character beyond just his optic blasts. Show his unwavering loyalty, his love for Jean Grey, and his burden of responsibility.
Marsden's Moment: Give James Marsden a chance to truly embody Cyclops. He has the charisma and the acting chops to make the character shine.
With Deadpool's offbeat humor and Wolverine's battle-tested experience, Cyclops could find his perfect niche in this wacky adventure. Will Deadpool & Wolverine be the film that finally does Cyclops justice? Time will tell, but fans are certainly ready for Cyclops to step out of the shadows and reclaim his place as a leader.
Charles Xavier, the telepathic founder of the X-Men, is a powerhouse mutant with a tragic past. Sir Patrick Stewart's portrayal for over two decades cemented the character in pop culture. While James McAvoy brought a youthful Xavier to life in the prequels, and even an alternate Professor X appeared in Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness, there's a reason why fans want to see Stewart's Xavier in Deadpool & Wolverine.
Here's why Professor X's inclusion could be a game-changer:
Family Feud: Cassandra Nova, the film's villain, is Professor X's twin sister with a deep-seated hatred for him. Their onscreen confrontation would be a powerful moment.
Stewart's Legacy: Patrick Stewart's portrayal embodies the wisdom, hope, and leadership of Professor X. Bringing him back would be a treat for longtime fans.
Multiversal Mystery: With the multiverse in play, could this be a version of Professor X who hasn't encountered Nova yet? The possibilities are endless!
His presence could be the key to unlocking the full potential of Cassandra Nova's storyline, adding a layer of emotional complexity to the film. Will Professor X appear and face his twisted twin? Only the ever-expanding multiverse knows for sure!
