After the success of The Super Mario Bros. Movie, it was confirmed that we’d be getting a second one all the way in 2026. This opens the door to unending possibilities about what Nintendo could do in terms of bringing many of its video games to the big screen.

The latest trailer for "Deadpool & Wolverine" suggests the movie might be even more of a cameo-fest than we'd previously predicted.
Hugh Jackman is back as Logan, of course, and he's bringing leftover characters from the erstwhile 20th Century Fox's Marvel Universe. We already knew Elektra (Jennifer Garner), Pyro (Aaron Stanford), and Toad would be back. So will Wolverine's archenemy Sabretooth, perhaps finally giving Logan a chance at closure.
Around the 1:50 minute mark of the new trailer, you were probably focused on the decapitated head of a Giant Man variant (his rotting skull concealed within his ant-styled helmet). I'm much more curious about the characters standing beneath this makeshift base, who look to be familiar (mutant) faces from previous "X-Men" films: Yuriko Oyama/Lady Deathstrike from "X2" and Azazel from "X-Men: First Class."
Both are seen at too far a distance to determine if their previous actors...

This is why we decided to overview all confirmed (and rumored) cameos & variants that are supposed to be included in the movie.
1. Aaron Stanford – John Allerdyce/Pyro (Confirmed)
Aaron Stanford was only rumored to make a comeback, as well as some other minor X-Men villains. His appearance was ultimately confirmed with the release of the trailer.

Just like a prayer, the latest trailer for the highly anticipated "Deadpool & Wolverine" arrived this morning, showing off even more of Wade Wilson's first entry into the Marvel Cinematic Universe. If bringing the R-rated Merc with a Mouth into the Marvel Studios world wasn't enough, with all the naughtiness that entails, surely Hugh Jackman picking up Wolverine's claws again will seal the deal.
Of course, since "Deadpool & Wolverine" is bringing the characters from 20th Century Fox's universe of Marvel movies into the MCU, there are even more recognizable faces who will be popping up. Along with reports of Jennifer Garner reprising her role as Elektra and the appearance of Pyro in the first trailer for the movie, the latest batch of footage shows off some returning characters from previous "X-Men" movies. Perhaps even more interesting is where those characters appear in the trailer, especially when it comes...

Halle Berry was once synonymous with the mutant superhero Storm after her stint in Fox’s X-Men franchise. However, there was some criticism regarding Berry’s portrayal of the character. The actor once uttered a line in the film X-Men that became heavily mocked at the time. But The Avengers director Joss Whedon once set the record straight on the line’s true origins.
Joss Whedon once shared that he wrote Halle Berry’s infamous ‘X-Men’ Line Halle Berry | Access E/WireImage
One of Berry’s lines as the X-Men character Storm might’ve become famous for the wrong reasons. In 2000’s X-Men film, Berry’s Storm famously electrocutes another mutant by the name of Toad. Before unleashing her powers on the villain, Berry’s Storm sends him off with a quip.

Following a filmography comprising approximately eight short films just over a decade-span, with the most recent being the 2018 Tribeca Film Festival premiere “Salam,” along with television series work, British and U.S. based filmmaker Claire Fowler embarked on a project that initially started as a potential novel but eventually evolved into a feature film screenplay. What might become her feature debut, Toad comes from an intimate place digging into past and drawing inspiration from events that unfolded during the filmmaker’s youth. In my discussion with Fowler, it became evident that her potential feature film will explore collective memory and trauma. Rather than presenting a simplistic portrayal, it appears the film will embrace shades of complexity, drawing inspiration from European cinema.…...

To say that all eyes are on Wade Wilson in 2024 is an understatement. With most superhero movies struggling to make a dent at the box office last year, studios will next look to the performance of Marvel Studios’ Deadpool & Wolverine as a referendum on the state of the genre. Fortunately, Ryan Reynolds‘ latest turn as the Merc with a Mouth looks absolutely insane in the first trailer, which premiered during Super Bowl Lviii.
As the trailer reveals, Deadpool is stepping into the multiverse with the help of Matthew McFayden’s mysterious Marvel character and the Tva from Loki. But he’ll have some other big-name allies, too.
Watch the trailer below:
We already knew Hugh Jackman was coming out of superhero retirement to reprise his role as Wolverine for the ninth time, this time in the comic book accurate yellow suit that will also delight the X-Men: The Animated Series fans in the audience.

Ryan is returning in Deadpool 3, bringing along his pal Hugh Jackman in the role of Wolverine.

The actor poured in his of blood and sweat into making the first film as he paid the writers from his pocket to be on the film’s set while filming. It was not an easy process, and Ryan once revealed that he had to seek medical attention after completing the film. It is all water under the bridge now, and the franchise is hugely successful. Ryan is returning in Deadpool 3, bringing along his pal Hugh Jackman in the role of Wolverine.
The first film was made on a constrained budget and had the biggest opening day for an R-rated film, which Matrix Reloaded previously held. The second movie held the same record, and hopefully, Deadpool 3...

Deadpool 3: Here’s How Much The Previous Films In The Ryan Reynolds-Led Franchise Made ( Photo Credit – IMDb )
Deadpool 3 is still a few months away from its release, but social media is bustling with pictures from the film’s set and several rumors about the plot. Ryan Reynolds will reprise his role as the Merc with a Mouth, and it will bring back everyone’s favorite Wolverine actor, Hugh Jackman, as the clawed mutant. The film has already generated a buzz online and might help get the MCU out of its misery of box office duds, especially after The Marvels.
The first two films in this franchise did well at the box office and created a few records. In addition to giving the audience one of the best superhero movie franchises, the films also saved Ryan’s career. The Canadian actor is absolutely perfect for the role.

When Aaron Horvath started working on “The Super Mario Bros. Movie,” he and his fellow director, Michael Jelenic, knew they wanted to avoid the mistakes that had plagued so many video game-based movies in the past. They wanted to make this movie a cinematic expression of a gameplay experience. “We knew that people coming into this movie love Super Mario as a character, but they also love Super Mario as an avatar,” he tells Gold Derby during our recent chat as part of our Meet the Experts: Film Animation panel (watch the exclusive video interview above). The two wanted to encapsulate the visceral emotions that players experience when playing the game. “For us, it was the challenge of blending the emotional experience of playing a game with the emotional experience of watching a movie. That sort of core approach informed us all throughout.”

Plus, Denny (Matt Dillon) managed to avoid the wrath of Heather (Julia Rickert) after her father died from a stray bullet.
During an interview with The Hollywood Reporter, Arquette discusses the finale cliff-hanger involving Peggy awaiting the human cannon’s explosion, the star’s conversation with her real-life sister that changed the course of Bernadette Peters’ role as Peggy’s late mom, her hopes...

“The Super Mario Bros. Movie” gives you a wholesome prankish druggy chameleonic video-game buzz; it’s also a nice, sweet confection for 6-year-olds. Historically, the proverbial problem with live-action movies based on video games — and “Super Mario Bros.,” a leaden dud released 30 years ago, had the dishonor of being the very first one — is that they jam-pack the screen with tropes and fights and characters and landscapes right out of the game, but when it comes to molding all that gimcrackery into, you know, a story, they lose the electronic pulse that made the game addictive. Digital animation is, and always should have been, the true cousin of video games (which are essentially computer fantasies that you control). And “The Super Mario Bros. Movie” takes full advantage of the sculptural liquid zap of the computer-animation medium. Yet it also has a fairy-tale story that’s good enough to get you onto its wavelength.
