DEADPOOL & WOLVERINE Cast Share Behind-the-Scenes Cameo Photos

Spoiler Alert

With Deadpool & Wolverine now in theaters for some time (if you count a couple of weekends as “some time”) cast and crew have started to feel comfortable sharing the surprise actors from the film on social media. And man, did Deadpool & Wolverine ever have a metric ton of surprise faces. Some as full-on supporting characters, and others as brief cameos. Now, they’re all finally sharing behind-the-scenes images of the making of Deadpool & Wolverine. Starting with some posts from director Shawn Levy himself.

Ryan Reynolds then shared other images of his fellow “Heroes of the Void” on social media, starting with a character just about no one expected to see again. At least played by this particular actor.

Wesley Snipes as Blade

First off, Reynolds posted some photos of himself and Wesley Snipes, who returned as Blade. The return of the OG Daywalker was a big shock to many. Mainly, because Reynolds and Snipes famously did not get along on the set of Blade: Trinity. But hey, that was twenty years ago. Ryan Reynolds now says he wants Blade to get the Logan-style send-off he deserves. They might have a better chance of happening at this point than the Mahershala Ali MCU reboot. We love Reynolds’ nickname for Snipes of “Marvel Daddy.”

Channing Tatum as Gambit

Next, Ryan Reynolds gushed about his buddy Channing Tatum finally getting to play a comic book- accurate version of Gambit. After a decade of trying to play the Cajun mutant Remy LeBeau, Tatum delivered a heartfelt and hilarious performance. Here’s hoping this is not the last we see of the X-Men’s ragin’ Cajun.

Henry Cavill as a Wolverine Variant

Another jaw-dropping surprise was former Superman Henry Cavill as a variant of Wolverine. We must say, Cavill looks perfect in the role. Although, who would he look bad as? The former Man of Steel (now Man of Adamantium?) shared a photo on his Instagram. He even joked about his Justice League mustache debacle.

Dafnee Keen as Laura/X-23

Meanwhile, Dafne Keen broke her silence about her return as Laura Kinney, a.k.a. Wolverine’s daughter X-23. She confirmed that her version of the character is not a variant. She’s just an older version of the Laura we met in Logan.

Jennifer Garner as Elektra

Although the trades spoiled her return last year, many folks still didn’t know Jennifer Garner would be back as Elektra from Daredevil and her solo spin-off film. The actress recently shared a video of herself training to get back into assassin shape for Deadpool & Wolverine, and twirling her twin sai swords.

(From L to R) Hugh Jackman as Wolverine, Wesley Snipes as Blade, Channing Tatum as Gambit, Dafne Keen as X-23, Ryan Reynolds as Deadpool, and Jennifer Garner as Elektra in Deadpool & Wolverine.

Chris Evans as the Human Torch

And finally, via his Instagram stories, Chris Evans posted about his return to Marvel Studios….as the Human Torch, not Captain America. Anyone who saw the film could tell he had a blast playing the Fantastic Four’s Johnny Storm again, unleashing a string of curse words that Steve Rogers would never.
