A recent report suggests that a confirmed Marvel cameo in “Deadpool & Wolverine” may have more significant implications than previously thought. The movie, set in the MCU timeline, has garnered excitement for its incorporation of characters and events from Fox’s comic book movies, particularly Hugh Jackman’s Wolverine. While much speculation has surrounded various cameos, one confirmed appearance could play a central role in the storyline.
Jennifer Garner’s Integral Role as Elektra
“Deadpool & Wolverine” has confirmed a stellar cast, including Ryan Reynolds as Deadpool, Hugh Jackman as Wolverine, and Morena Baccarin as Venessa. However, the surprising revelation from the US Copyright filing for the movie is the prominence of Jennifer Garner’s Elektra. Listed fourth in the main cast, above presumed antagonists, Garner’s Elektra’s positioning suggests a role integral to the plot rather than a fleeting cameo.
Elektra, portrayed by Garner, first appeared in Fox’s 2003 movie “Daredevil” and later received her own spin-off in 2005’s “Elektra.” Despite mixed reviews for the solo movie, Garner’s performance was notable, and her character’s return in “Deadpool & Wolverine” hints at a more substantial role, potentially surpassing other Fox cameos.
Return of Fox Characters in “Deadpool & Wolverine”
Alongside Deadpool, Venessa, and returning X-Men characters like Negasonic Teenage Warhead and Colossus, the movie also features characters from Fox’s older comic book movies. Hugh Jackman’s return as Wolverine, despite his apparent retirement from the role after “Logan,” is notable. Additionally, Aaron Stanford reprises his role as Pyro from “X2: X-Men United” and “X-Men: The Last Stand,” adding to the excitement surrounding the sequel.
