A verified Marvel appearance in Deadpool & Wolverine may have significantly more impact than anticipated, according to a new study. The first Deadpool film in the MCU chronology, Marvel’s Deadpool & Wolverine, has generated a lot of enthusiasm since it brings in characters and events from Fox’s comic book films, most notably Hugh Jackman’s Wolverine. Though there have been several leaks and rumours about them, one long-confirmed cameo may be considerably more important than previously thought. Many cast members, including Reynolds as Deadpool, Jackman as Wolverine, and Morena Baccarin as Venessa, have been confirmed for Deadpool & Wolverine. Fox’s X-Men world is about to come to an end with this film. It was assumed that the main character in the adventure would be Jackman’s Wolverine. But there could be another legendary superhero actor from Fox who becomes equally well-known. The main cast of Deadpool & Wolverine is listed in the US Copyright file, and Jennifer Garner is listed as Elektra—far higher than many would have predicted. Fourth on the list, just after Reynolds, Jackman, and Baccarin, is Garner’s Elektra. Even Deadpool and Wolverine’s apparent adversary, Emma Corrin, is listed below Garner. This implies that Garner will play a far more significant part that is essential to the story in Deadpool & Wolverine than just a single scene or quick appearance.

Deadpool & Wolverine reportedly places Jennifer Garner as Elektra, significantly higher on the list than most people would have predicted, among the film’s primary characters. Fourth on the list, just after Reynolds, Jackman, and Baccarin, is Garner’s Elektra. Even Deadpool and Wolverine’s apparent adversary, Emma Corrin, is listed below Garner. This implies that Garner will play a far more significant part that is essential to the story in Deadpool & Wolverine than just a single scene or quick appearance. Elektra, played by Jennifer Garner, debuted in the Fox film Daredevil in 2003 and went on to have her own spin-off, Elektra, in 2005. Any chance for a second film in the series was dashed when Garner’s solo film was widely mocked. Though Elektra received mixed reviews, Garner’s performance was fun and deserved a far better film in which to shine. This will apparently happen with Deadpool and Wolverine 19 years later, indicating that Garner’s part will be far bigger than the other Fox appearances anticipated in the film.

Deadpool & Wolverine stars a number of returning cast members from Fox’s expanded X-Men world in addition to Deadpool and Venessa. Notable X-Men characters Negasonic Teenage Warhead, Yukio, Colossus, and Shatterstar are returning from Fox’s Deadpool and Deadpool 2. Deadpool & Wolverine will not feature Cable, although Blind Al and Dopinder are scheduled to make an appearance. The more thrilling characters are those from Fox’s previous comic book films, though. Even though Hugh Jackman appeared to be retiring from the role following Logan, he decided to return as Wolverine. Aaron Stanford, who plays Pyro in the Deadpool & Wolverine teaser, has been revealed as Jackman’s co-star from X2: X-Men United and X-Men: The Last Stand. In the much awaited sequel, several more appearances are rumoured to join Garner’s Elektra.
