Summary
Ryan Reynolds has been teasing fans about dozens of cameos inDeadpool & Wolverine. His recent efforts seemingly hinted that James Marsden’s Scott Summers, aka Cyclops, could make a comeback on the big screen.
Marvel has been keen on keeping the cameos forDeadpool & Wolverinea secret. However, fans can’t wait to see what’s in store for them, so they openly discuss their various theories online about who will join Ryan Reynold’s Deadpool and Hugh Jackman’s Wolverine in the action-comedy superhero flick. One theory suggests that Marsden’s Cyclops will be among theX-Mensuperheroes joining the tandem. Marsden portrayed Cyclops, a founding member ofX-Menin 2000’sX-Men, 2006’sX-Men: The Last Stand, and 2014’sX-Men: Days of Future Past. It has been a decade since fans last saw him, but many felt thatReynolds just hinted at Cyclops' return inDeadpool & Wolverine.
DuringDeadpool & Wolverine’spress world tour, Reynolds was photographed wearing shades similar to Cyclops' ruby quartz visor. Austin Medeiros shared a snap of Reynolds rocking the visor onX, formerly Twitter, and it only fueled the speculation that Cyclops could join the duo. One fan commented, “Bro giving us indirect hints and telling us that Feige said to not tell anyone coz it’s off limits.. but Imma do my thing.” A different user wrote, “I noticed that,” with eyes emoji. A third fan said he hoped to see Cyclops in the film with more physical beef with Wolverine. However, some argued that it might have meant nothing as Reynolds would always troll fans, and he was probably aware of the rumors that Cyclops mightmake a cameo inDeadpool 3, so he just toyed with them.
Reynold’s character, the Merc with a Mouth, may be a blabbermouth, but he is tight-lipped about the cameos inDeadpool & Wolverine. However, he constantly teased fans about the huge surprises in the anticipated movie. He previously said, “The honest truth is we’re hiding a lot, which is why we’re showing this amount of footage. There’s kind of an impossible amount of surprises that, in a couple of weeks, we’re so excited to unleash.” In March, Marsden was asked about the rumor of Cyclops joiningDeadpool 3. He acknowledged that he heard the theory, noting that “there’s a lot [of] chatter about that.” However, he did not give a straight response whether he was part of the movie. Instead, he teased that where they filmedSonic the Hedgehog 3was near theDeadpoolset. He said, “We just wrapped actually. We were near theDeadpoolstages up there in Pinewood actually. Yeah, this is a little bit of a Pandora’s box.”
Cyclops' addition toDeadpool & Wolverinewill be great news to fans who have been missing him. Also, due to his complex relationship with Wolverine, his presence will surely add fun to the mix.Cyclops and Wolverineare among the two prominent figures fromX-Men, and it’s no secret that the two have a complex relationship – a mixture of admiration and hatred. Their rivalry is noticeable, with the pair finding themselves at odds with each other, and sometimes their misunderstanding turns violent.
TheWolverine-Jean Grey-Cyclops love triangleonly made their relationship all the more tense. However, X-Men’s franchise’sKrakoan Erabrought their relationship to another level, suggesting thatCyclops and Wolverine made loveon the Moon. The writers painted the throuple in a polyamorous relationship. If Cyclops is in the film, it will be fun to watch how Deadpool will react to the pair’s bickering.Deadpool is among Wolverine’s best friendsbecause the latter’s cells were used to treat the former’s cancer. However, Deadpool can be sarcastic and joker. He also has the tendency to break the fourth wall for humorous effect, which will surely make Wolverine and Cyclops' reunion, if the latter is making a cameo, something to watch for. Whether Cyclops is joiningDeadpool & Wolverine, the answer is only a few days away.
