Deadpool 3has not started filming yet, but the movie’s cast is growing asThe Crownstar Emma Corrin has been chosen to play a new Marvel villain who will go up against Ryan Reynolds and Hugh Jackman’s Wolverine in their MCU debut.
Jackman’s inclusion inDeadpool 3brought a lot of excitement to what will be Marvel Studios' first R-rated feature film. However, although Wolverine’s relationship with Wade Wilson has always been less than amicable, he was never expected to be the main antagonist in the film. Corrin’s casting will help fans narrow down their theories regardingwho theDeadpool 3villain would be. However, at the moment, there’s no ruling out that further names could join the English actress in the bad guys' camp.

As usual, like mostDeadpoolnews, the announcement of Corrin’s casting was shared byReynolds, who tweeted out a photo of her, extending his welcome to the mercenary family. Nevertheless, despite the actor not giving out specifics about her role,Deadline’s sources confirmed Corrin plays a villain. However, no character shortlist was discussed by the outlet that could even suggest which Marvel foe she’ll be immersing herself into.
Corrin first rose to prominence for her recurring part in thenow-cancelledPennyworthseries, but her role as Princess Diana in Netflix’sThe Crownmade her a household name. This led to her landing credits inMy Policeman, the upcomingNosferatumovie, and now the MCU’sDeadpool. So far, even Patrick Stewart has yet to rule out another MCU cameo inDeadpool 3, so the film’s plot is very much a mystery.
So who could Corrin play inDeadpool 3?By going with a female Marvel villain, writers Rhett Reese and Paul Wernick could be committing to a character like Gwenpool, an equally quirky mercenary whose multiverse origins could help tie upDeadpool 3with the rest of the MCU. Another possibility that would make sense considering Deadpool’s more obscure rogues' gallery could be Spiral since she would allow the film to use Mojo, another odd interdimensional creature from Marvel Comics.
Even in the latter’s case, many of Deadpool’s enemies tend to overlap with theX-Men.WithJackman returning as Wolverine, it’s about time Marvel Studios brought Professor X’s gifted youngsters on board.
Deadpool 3is scheduled for release on June 13, 2025.
