Tried and true, the most valiant and dedicated member of X-Force is coming back asDeadlinereveals thatRob Delaneywill reprise his role as Peter inDeadpool 3. With no visible superhuman powers, it was Peter’s dedication to the job and his love for his team members that madeRyan Reynolds’ titular anti-hero travel back in time during thepost-credit sceneto give him a new lease on life, saving him from his untimely death.
For those who may not remember, Delaney’s Peter was a member of Deadpool’s team of superheroes on a mission to save teenage mutant Russell Collins aka Firefist (Julian Dennison) from the Mutant Re-education Center where he previously faced horrible and unspeakable abuse at the hands of the faculty. Along with Peter, the group also consisted of Domino (Zazie Beetz), Bedlam (Terry Crews), Shatterstar (Lewis Tan), Zeitgeist (Bill Skarsgård), and Vanisher (Brad Pitt). While Peter met his horrific end after attempting to save Zeitgeist from a wood chipper only to have the hero vomit acid bile, killing him immediately, the final moments of the sequel see Deadpool traveling through time to make some changes to his life story — which include bringing Peter back from the dead.
While plot details are being kept under wraps at this time, we’re more than excited to catch the next installment in theDeadpoolfranchise that will seeHugh Jackmanreprise his fan-favorite role as Wolverine. Along with Delaney, the film will also see the return of a slew of familiar faces likeMorena Baccarin,Karan Soni,Stefan Kapicic, andLeslie Uggams.
