MCU: 10 Comic Book Characters That Could Be Introduced In Deadpool 3

1. The X-Men

When it was officially confirmed that Wolverine would return in Deadpool 3, it felt like the whole world stopped. The comic book community were so overjoyed by this news, it seemed like there was nothing else the movie could do to get us more hyped.

With one exception. We all know the X-Men are going to appear in the MCU eventually. And because the team's most iconic member is appearing in Deadpool 3, why not have Professor X's mutant heroes make an appearance as well?

Now, if you're skeptical about this idea, that's understandable. Having Cyclops, Jean Grey, Storm, Gambit, Beast, and others make their MCU debut in a R-rated comedy is definitely a risky move.

But because the X-Men's incorporation into the franchise has been built up for years, it might be sensible for the team to pop up briefly in Deadpool 3 first, to whet our appetite. After all, Thanos was teased with cameo appearances for years, which made his formal introduction in Avengers: Infinity War far more compelling.

If Marvel Studios uses a similar strategy for the X-Men in Deadpool 3, fans would be over the moon.
