Admittedly, “Deadpool 3” is already shaping up to have the largest cast of any “Deadpool” film to date, so there may just not have been enough room for Domino. This time around, Deadpool is officially part of the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU), allowing for a plethora of existing MCU characters to make an entrance. The addition of Logan/Wolverine alone is going to take up a lot of screen time in a story that sees two of the most popular comic book characters ever teaming up to take down a common enemy.
Hot off his remarkable performance as Tom in “Succession,” it’s possible actor Matthew Macfayden may be the main villain of “Deadpool 3,” with Ryan Reynolds seemingly confirming that MacFayden has a major role. “I think Matthew Macfayden is probably one of the most interesting actors working today,” he told etalk CTV (via TikTok). “And the fact that he’s going to be on our ‘Deadpool’ set each and every day is kind of nerve-wracking for me.”
In addition to Hugh Jackman and MacFayden, rumor has it Mobius (Owen Wilson) and Miss Minutes (Tara Strong) from “Loki” will make an appearance. Emma Corrin (“The Crown”) is also on board in a mystery role. Meanwhile, Morena Baccarin (Vanessa), Leslie Uggams (Blind Al), Karan Soni (Dopinder), Brianna Hildebrand (Negasonic Teenage Warhead), and Colossus (voiced by Stefan Kapicic) are all set to return, which doesn’t exactly leave much room for Domino.
It’s also possible that Domino’s unique powers — allowing her to manipulate reality to appear as though she’s the “luckiest” superhero alive — simply didn’t lend themselves to the story for the jam-packed “Deadpool 3.” Hopefully, in the future, Zazie Beetz can reprise the character, joining her companions in the MCU.
“Deadpool 3” will release on May 3, 2024, as part of Disney’s newly-reshuffled slate.
