Deadpool 3 will see Ryan Reynolds return to the iconic red suit but a ‘secret role’ for Daniel Radcliffe has sparked fan excitement and multiverse dreams.
The third instalment of R-rated Deadpool will feature the Wrexham owner once again starring as Wade Wilson, the fast-talking mercenary with a heart of gold.
Ryan also confirmed the return of fan favourite X-Men alum Hugh Jackman as Wolverine, dressed for the first time in his bright yellow true-to-comics costume.
Production has been halted amid SAG-AFTRA strikes but that hasn’t stopped fans speculating about possible cast members.
It’s expected that many of the previous film’s core cast will return but rumours of another franchise heavyweight joining the cast have surfaced online.
Daniel Radcliffe is said to appear in the film, according to insider Daniel Richtman, leading to much fan speculation.

The source gave very little information, claiming the Harry Potter actor had been cast in a ‘secret role’.
Given the 34-year-old is currently rocking a very ripped figure, which he unveiled in an episode of Miracle Workers, a superhero spin is not totally out of the realm of possibility.
While Hugh is donning the adamantium claws once again, it’s been suggested the new dad could play an alternative reality version of Wolverine or Logan.
Daniel is known for accepting surprising roles since leaving the magical wizarding world behind.
Deadpool 3 is thought to tackle the multiverse, especially given studio boss Kevin Feige confirmed the film is part of the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
Ryan told Variety that this iteration of Wolverine is different to those we’ve seen before, especially given the ending of James Mangold’s Logan (2017).

While explaining how he convinced Hugh to return, Ryan said: ‘What we pitched him was enough of a divergence from the character that he knows and the character that he’s left behind, that it gives him something completely new to play and something that he’s really excited to do.’
Another more random casting rumour is the popular fan theory that Taylor Swift is appearing as Dazzler, a mutant with light powers activated by her voice.
With the Willow singer a close friend of Ryan and other cryptic hints deciphered by fans, it’s entirely possible but we’re not convinced.
One new face in the cast list is Emma Corrin, best known for their turn as Princess Diana in The Crown, who has previously shared how excited they are to join the cast.

Returning to a role she was first cast in 20 years ago, Jennifer Garner is bringing her daggers back as mercenary Elektra.
Also returning according to IMDb are Morena Baccarin, Brianna Hildebrand, Stefan Kapicic, Karan Soni, Leslie Uggams, and confusingly Rob Delaney.
Shawn Levy is set to direct Deadpool 3 and the film currently has a release date of May 3, 2024, despite production being halted.
Metro has reached out to Daniel Radcliffe’s representatives for comment.
