It seems Hugh Jackman isn’t the only X-Men star joining the MCU! One of the franchise’s most iconic villains celebrates his return in Deadpool and Wolverine with a new BTS photo.
Rumors have been flowing for months about former X-Men actors making their MCU debut in Deadpool and Wolverine. While there’s been a lot of smoke, there hasn’t been a lot of fire outside of Hugh Jackman returning as the titular Canucklehead. It seems Aaron Stanford is the one to finally bring the fire, sharing a new BTS photo of his return as Pyro in the film!
Aaron Stanford’s Pyro often gets lost in the cavalcade of characters present in the old X-Men films. However, for those who do remember him, his return alongside Hugh Jackman in Deadpool and Wolverine will serve as a sweet treat. This BTS photo is also likely a canary in the coal mine that the film will serve as a reunion for all the former mutants as they’re merged into the MCU. At this rate, it’s certain the next trailer will be insane!
