Marvel has made a few allusions to the Fox X-Males universe throughout the Marvel Cinematic Universe — the previous X-Males animated theme in Ms. Marvel, a Patrick Stewart cameo as Professor X in Physician Unusual within the Multiverse of Insanity — however the first full on MCU film for a Fox alum can be subsequent 12 months’s Deadpool 3, which is shortly shaping as much as be a full-on return for a giant chunk of the corporate’s previous Marvel forged.
In addition to the title character, performed by Ryan Reynolds, and Wolverine, performed by Hugh Jackman, the movie will even apparently function the return of Jennifer Garner as Elektra, Marvel’s tortured murderer anti-hero. Garner beforehand performed the function in 2003’s Daredevil and her personal spinoff movie, which was launched in 2005.
That’s in keeping with The Hollywood Reporter, who trace of their report that there could also be extra returning Fox Marvel heroes within the movie…
Shawn Levy is within the director’s chair with the mission to be the primary film that may function a personality, or on this case, two or three or extra, from the secure that when belonged to twentieth Century Fox. Fox owned a number of silos of Marvel’s characters earlier than its acquisition by Disney in 2019 introduced the film rights to the characters again into Marvel correct.

The MCU already has its personal Elektra, Élodie Yung, who performed the function in Season 2 of Marvel’s Daredevil collection on Netflix. The existence of a multiverse makes it simple sufficient to clarify a number of Elektras — though if Garner’s character goes to have greater than a blink-and-you’ll-miss-it-cameo, that will seemingly suggest that Deadpool 3 can be set throughout the Fox X-Males universe (or some different beforehand unseen alternate dimension) and never the principle MCU. (Wow, that’s the nerdiest factor I ever wrote. Go me.)
Garner’s Elektra is routinely ranked among the many worst Marvel motion pictures ever made, and the Daredevil film she was in wasn’t too a lot better. However that wasn’t her fault, and it could possibly be actually enjoyable to see her again because the character — particularly if Deadpool 3 goes to have a complete bunch of (farewell?) appearances by the large names of the Fox Marvel Universe. Are you able to think about if Chris Evans’ Human Torch had a cameo? Or Nic Cage’s Ghost Rider confirmed up? May very well be wild.
Deadpool 3 is scheduled to open in theaters on Might 3, 2024.
