Michael B. Jordan’s social media repost of the “Deadpool & Wolverine” trailer has sparked speculation among Marvel fans. As the former “Human Torch” in “Fant4stic,” his involvement in the upcoming MCU film would fit the trend of incorporating past Marvel actors. This speculation gains credence from Jordan’s repost suggesting a potential connection to his previous role.
Michael B. Jordan has maintained his superhero presence with appearances in “Black Panther,” “Black Panther: Wakanda Forever,” and “What If…?”. When cast in Ryan Coogler’s “Black Panther,” Jordan expressed eagerness to return to the superhero genre.
“As a geek, I’m fascinated by this universe,” Jordan remarked. “I relish exploring its fantastical realms. It felt like a second chance, a fresh start to perfect my performance. Collaborating once more with Rachel [Morrison] and Ryan created a familiar and supportive environment. This was the ideal setting for me to embrace this challenge, and I jumped at the opportunity.”
Would it not make sense for Jordan, a longtime comic book fan, to cameo as The Human Torch again? This cameo may be shorter than expected, but fans would be thrilled to see Jordan reprise his role.
What Should You Watch To Prepare For Deadpool & Wolverine?
Director Shawn Levy emphasizes that watching past Marvel content is not necessary for enjoying “Deadpool & Wolverine.” Despite the presence of cameos and callbacks in the film’s marketing, Levy assures that the sequel is standalone and accessible to new viewers.
As a good student, Levy follows through on commitments, even as an adult—excluding homework at the movies. He approached the film with respect for its fan base but emphasizes its accessibility, aiming to entertain viewers without requiring prior knowledge of the franchise.
Cameos Coming In Deadpool & Wolverine
As the release of “Deadpool & Wolverine” approaches, speculation about cameos intensifies. Director Shawn Levy and Ryan Reynolds, determined to maintain secrecy, have provided few details on the matter. Despite their efforts, rumors persist and will likely continue until the film’s release. Recognizing this, Levy and Reynolds aim to satisfy fans’ curiosity by providing limited information on potential cameos while respecting the surprise element.
“Some cameos were surprisingly effortless,” Levy shared. “People adore <em>Deadpool</em> and Ryan [Reynolds]. They also appreciate my work. They recognize the special and productive creative alliance between Ryan and myself.”
“I’m thrilled by the casting rumors surrounding my movie because it makes it impossible to distinguish fact from fiction,” the director said. “While I can confirm Ryan, Hugh, Matthew McFadyen, and Emma Corrin’s involvement, I’ll keep the rest under wraps. The joy is in the discovery.”
