Deadpool 2: 12 Questions We Still Have
3. Who Is Eddie Marsan Playing?
Terrific character actor Eddie Marsan casually tweeted last summer that he snagged a role in DP2, but to date he hasn't been featured in any of the movie's proper trailers. Who, then, will he be playing?
Prediction: A new TV spot just might've given the game away. Eagle-eyed viewers may have noticed that one of the TV spots features a blink-and-you'll-miss-it appearance by Marsan, seemingly holding Russell at gunpoint and possibly performing the experiment which turns him into a pyrokinetic.
Unfortunately it doesn't seem likely he'll be sticking around for long, though, as Russell presumably breaks loose shortly after this and roasts the guy alive.
Sure, it's possible there's a totally different context to this scene and Marsan actually survives through it, but the smart bets are on his goose getting cooked pretty sharpish.
