There was already a lot of hype surrounding Deadpool 3 for bringing back Hugh Jackman’s Wolverine following his previously-announced retirement from the role in Logan, but now it’s looking like the upcoming Marvel movie will be an even bigger affair than anticipated. In May, it was reported that James Marsden’s Cyclops, Fame Janssen’s Jean Grey and Halle Berry’s Storm will appear, which was enough to make this flick sound like the mutant version of Spider-Man: No Way Home. Now it’s been rumored that Ben Affleck, another actor with ties to 20th Century Fox’s Marvel movies, may be involved with Deadpool 3.
According to Twitter user KC Walsh, a.k.a. @TheComixKid, Affleck was seen on the Deadpool 3 set, with the threequel having begun principal photography in England towards the end of last month. While Walsh has “no idea who he is playing,” the mere mention of Affleck being around this production has set off speculation that he’s reprising Matt Murdock, a.k.a. Daredevil, whom he played in the 2003 Daredevil movie. Walsh acknowledged in a separate tweet that this is “likely,” but at the moment, there isn’t any information available to verify that.
