Succession star Matthew Macfadyen joins Ryan Reynolds and Hugh Jackman in Deadpool 3

Marvel Cinematic Universe is assembling some of the most fan-favorite characters for its upcoming, hotly anticipated threequel, Deadpool 3! After reviving Hugh Jackman’s beloved Wolverine, the Ryan Reynolds franchise has now added another fan-favorite character, Succession star Matthew Macfadyen to its ensemble cast.

Deadpool 3 will welcome Macfadyen, who plays the fan-favorite Tom Wambsgans on the HBO smash series. As Variety notes, this will be the first Deadpool project made since the intellectual property went to Disney in its acquisition of 20th Century Fox. All creatives involved insist the film will retain its extreme violence and raunchy tone, as well as hard R-rating.

“It is such a blast to laugh every day. It is so delicious to hear and write and come up with these scenes where people are just talking foul. And the violence is in your face and hardcore, and it’s very much a ‘Deadpool’ movie,” director Shawn Levy said last year. The film will officially mark the entry of fan-favorite characters Deadpool and Wolverine into the MCU.

Besides Jackman, Reynolds and now Macfadyen, the film will also star Emma Corrin as the villain. Franchise writers Rhett Reese and Paul Wernick have penned the script for the third film along with Wendy Molyneux and Lizzie Molyneux-Logelin. Levy will direct the threequel, making it the third collaboration with Reynolds after Netflix’s The Adam Project and Disney’s Free Guy.

Deadpool 3 is currently slated for November 8, 2024. It was reported earlier this month that production on the third film is set to begin in London this May.
