A new report has emerged, shedding light on the primary setting of the highly anticipated “Deadpool & Wolverine” film, revealing that a significant portion of the story unfolds in The Void. According to insider @CanWeGetToast, who is well-versed in movie developments, approximately 70-75% of the movie transpires within this intriguing locale.
The Void, familiar to fans of the Loki series, occupies a unique position within the MCU as a realm situated at the end of time. It serves as a repository for all that is pruned by the Time Variance Authority, presenting an ideal playground for Ryan Reynolds’ Deadpool to wreak havoc and unleash his trademark brand of mayhem.
The inclusion of The Void in the film promises an array of cameo appearances from pruned Variants, adding an extra layer of excitement and unpredictability to the narrative. Fans eagerly anticipate how this storyline will intersect with the broader Multiverse Saga, offering tantalizing possibilities for interconnected storytelling.
Interestingly, an earlier draft of the screenplay reportedly set the film during the events of the original X-Men trilogy. While it remains unclear how much of this concept made its way into the final version, it adds an intriguing layer of potential nostalgia and connectivity to the larger X-Men cinematic universe.
In the film’s premise, Wade Wilson, grappling with professional setbacks and a midlife crisis, reluctantly retires as Deadpool to pursue a career as a used car salesman. However, when a threat jeopardizes his loved ones and the world at large, Deadpool must dust off his katanas and enlist the reluctant aid of Wolverine to safeguard their legacy.
The confirmed cast boasts an impressive lineup, including Hugh Jackman reprising his iconic role as Wolverine, alongside Emma Corrin as Cassandra Nova, Morena Baccarin and Stefan Kapicic as Vanessa and Colossus, respectively. Additionally, Matthew Macfadyen joins as a TVA Agent, with Leslie Uggams returning as Blind Al. Brianna Hildebrand and Shioli Kutsuna reprise their roles as Negasonic Teenage Warhead and Yukio, while Jennifer Garner returns as Elektra.
Rumored casting adds further excitement, with speculation including Brian Cox as William Striker, Owen Wilson as Mobius, Lewis Tan as Shatterstar, Channing Tatum as Gambit, Taron Edgerton as an alternate Wolverine, and an array of other notable names spanning the MCU and beyond.
“Deadpool & Wolverine” is slated to hit theaters on July 26th, promising a wild ride filled with action, humor, and unexpected twists that will leave audiences eagerly anticipating the next chapter in the franchise.
