Deadpool 3 Is Bringing Back Two Familiar Faces To Join Ryan Reynolds And Hugh Jackman

The last year has seen Deadpool 3 making steady progress forward, and and now we’re in the full swing of casting. Following last September’s announcement that Hugh Jackman is reprising Wolverine, it was revealed in February that The Crown’s Emma Corrin will play a yet-to-be-identified villain, and yesterday it was reported that Succession’s Matthew Macfayden had also come aboard. Now word’s come in that two familiar faces from the Deadpool film series will join Jackman and Ryan Reynolds for the threequel.

Karan Soni and Leslie Uggams are on deck to respectively reprise Dopinder and Blind Al in Deadpool 3, per Deadline. Both characters were introduced in the first movie, with Dopinder being the cab driver Wade Wilson befriended on his way to exact revenge on Francis, a.k.a. Ajax, and Blind Al being Wade’s roommate during the time he wasn’t in contact with Vanessa, the love of his life. So now there are six actors attached to Deadpool 3, and we’ll have to wait and see if other established actors from the franchise, like Morena Baccarin, Josh Brolin and Zazie Beetz, will return as well.
