Morena Baccarin Says ‘Deadpool 3’ Return Is Up in the Air: ‘We Have Not Agreed on Terms,’ So ‘It May or May Not Work Out’

Is Morena Baccarins Vanessa Carlysle joining the Marvel Cinematic Universe? It may or may not work out, the actor said on a recent episode of the Inside of You With Michael Rosenbaum podcast. According to Baccarin, shes being courted to star in the upcoming Deadpool 3, but talks have stalled because we have not agreed on terms. The sequel will be the first Deadpool movie set in the MCU.

Firefly actor Baccarin played Vanessa Carlysle, fiance to Wade Wilson/Deadpool, in the first two Deadpool movies. Her character was killed off in the beginning of Deadpool 2 in a satirical nod to fridging, a maligned storytelling device in which a female character is killed in order to forward the development of a male character.

But just because Vanessa died in Deadpool 2 doesnt mean she cant be involved in Deadpool 3. After all, the MCU multiverse is now in play, and Deadpool 3 is teaming Ryan Reynolds foul-mouthed superhero with Hugh Jackmans Wolverine. Jackman is returning as a different Wolverine than the one fans have followed since 2000s X-Men. That Wolverine died in 2017s Logan, and Jackman has stressed that Deadpool 3 wont mess with that timeline.

Yeah, what is up with Deadpool 3? Thats a really good question, Baccarin said on the podcast. I have to be very diplomatic about what I say here. Id like to be in it. They have called me about being in it. Right now, we have not agreed on terms, and everybodys trying their best and doing their best. It may or may not work out. I dont know.

I do think this movie, since Marvel-Disney acquired this Deadpool universe, theyre trying to reinvent it a little bit, Baccarin added. This movie is going to be much more about Wolverine and Deadpool. So well see. Hugh is going to be a huge part of it. Im sure hell be great.

Variety has reached out to Baccarins representative for additional comment.

New cast additions for Deadpool 3 include Emma Corrin and Succession Emmy winner Matthew Macfadyen, while franchise regulars Karan Soni (Dopinder) and Leslie Uggams (Blind Al) are returning. Disney has Deadpool 3 on the release calendar for Nov. 8, 2024.
