Marvel’s Missed Moments: The Untold Cameos of Deadpool & Wolverine
Let’s tip our hats to the recently released witty onslaught, Deadpool & Wolverine. With its irreverent fourth-wall-breaking humor and surprise nods to Marvel stalwarts such as Wesley Snipes’ lovably rough-around-the-edges Blade and Jennifer Garner’s pulse-quickening Elektra, this film has slayed at the global box office. However, insiders are buzzing about the cameos that nearly made it into the superhero jamboree helmed by Shawn Levy.
A Ghost Rider and Daredevil Alliance Left on the Drawing Board
Hold the front page, folks – apparently, Marvel had other superheroes itching to join the shindig. According to an unused concept artwork, the combustible Nicolas Cage’s Ghost Rider and Ben Affleck’s sightless crimefighter Daredevil were nearly part of the red latex party in Deadpool & Wolverine.
The beans were spilled when Rodney Fuentebella, the Visual Development Supervisor at Marvel Studios, decided to show off on Instagram. His post revealed a broader canvas of the Deadpool Corps brawl – think of it as Deadpool multiplied, with a dash of Daredevil and Ghost Rider thrown into the mix. An unexpected treat for fans, akin to finding an extra onion ring in your fries.
Scheduling Antics: Superheroes and Their Day Planners
Wondering why you haven’t heard of Affleck and Cage donning their superhero personas for Deadpool & Wolverine? Turns out Marvel had its hands full with rewrites, reshoots, strikes by actors and writers, not to mention synchronizing with the jam-packed timelines of established stars like Cage and Affleck. It seems there’s more to the superhero biz than mere spandex-clad stunts – one needs a keen sense of time management, after all.
Peeking into the Marvelous Future
Let’s rewind a bit. The Flash, released in 2023, marked Affleck’s farewell to super heroics, and the DCEU’s final pre-James Gunn release saw Cage turning in his superhero badge. However, with Deadpool & Wolverine’s narrative effectively unbolting the door for the reappearance of forgotten Marvel superheroes, we can’t help but speculate about Cage and Affleck possibly dusting off their superhero gear for the upcoming Avengers movies. So, brace yourselves, true believers; Ghost Rider and Daredevil may just ride again!
