Deadpool 3 has created quite a buzz since its announcement and news of Hugh Jackman returning to his role as Wolverine in this Ryan Reynolds-led Marvel movie and now there are rumours that it will also feature Elizabeth Olsen as Wanda Maximoff. Shawn Levy is directing the third instalment and according to new reports, Logan director James Mangold is calling the forthcoming film a prequel to the 2017 film.
For the unversed, Wanda is the daughter of Magneto in the comics, but because of copyright issues, Marvel was unable to bring her storyline into the MCU. With the lines blurring, everything is merging in and the Universe is expanding. Another Fox’s X-Men actor, Sir Patrick Stewart as Professor Xavier, made his MCU debut last year in Dr Strange in the Multiverse of Madness and now, according to rumours, Olsen will join him.
As per a report on Reddit’s Movie Leaks and Rumours, Elizabeth Olsen is set to appear in Deadpool 3 as Wanda Maximoff from Earth 838, which was shown in Dr Strange 2, one with the Illuminati and the subreddit also claims that the movie will adapt the House of M & Deadpool Kills The Marvel Universe storylines. For those unfamiliar, in House of M, Wanda’s Scarlet Witch ends the Mutants’ existence by uttering the phrase ‘No More mutants, which has become something of a famous phrase in the comic books and Olsen reportedly wanted to utter that line in Dr Strange 2 also.
In the meantime, Deadpool Kills the Marvel Universe features one of the villainous versions of Deadpool and according to rumours, Deadpool 3 will be similar to Dr. Strange if Ryan Reynolds’ character travels through multiple universes and meets Elizabeth Olsen’s character Wanda Maximoff on Earth 838.
