The much-awaited third installment of the Deadpool franchise is set to feature another familiar face. Deadline reports that Rob Delaney, who portrayed X-Force member Peter in the second film, has officially signed on to reprise his role in Deadpool 3. The news was confirmed by Ryan Reynolds, who took to Twitter to share the announcement.
Rob Delaney’s Peter made his debut in Deadpool 2 as a member of the X-Force team, alongside characters played by Terry Crews and Bill Skarsgård. He quickly became a fan-favorite for his relatable and humorous portrayal of an average guy thrust into the world of superheroes. Peter, who lacked any superpowers or combat skills, joined the X-Force team on a whim and provided comic relief throughout the film.
Deadpool 3 once again features Ryan Reynolds as the Merc with the Mouth, with Hugh Jackman co-starring as Wolverine. The two characters have a long history in the comics, but the two haven’t shared the big screen since 2009’s X-Men Origins: Wolverine.
The first two Deadpool movies were produced by 20th Century Fox before the studio’s acquisition by The Walt Disney Company. Deadpool 3 is being written as the first movie in the series set within the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
