Marvel has made a few allusions to the Fox X-Men universe inside the Marvel Cinematic Universe — the previous X-Men animated theme in Ms. Marvel, a Patrick Stewart cameo as Professor X in Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness — however the first full on MCU film for a Fox alum might be subsequent 12 months’s Deadpool 3, which is rapidly shaping as much as be a full-on return for a giant chunk of the corporate’s previous Marvel solid.
Besides the title character, performed by Ryan Reynolds, and Wolverine, performed by Hugh Jackman, the movie may even apparently function the return of Jennifer Garner as Elektra, Marvel’s tortured murderer anti-hero. Garner beforehand performed the function in 2003’s Daredevil and her personal spinoff movie, which was launched in 2005.
That’s in response to The Hollywood Reporter, who trace in their report that there could also be extra returning Fox Marvel heroes in the movie…
Shawn Levy is in the director’s chair with the undertaking to be the primary film that may function a personality, or in this case, two or three or extra, from the secure that after belonged to twentieth Century Fox. Fox owned a number of silos of Marvel’s characters earlier than its acquisition by Disney in 2019 introduced the film rights to the characters again into Marvel correct.

The MCU already has its personal Elektra, Élodie Yung, who performed the function in Season 2 of Marvel’s Daredevil collection on Netflix. The existence of a multiverse makes it simple sufficient to clarify a number of Elektras — though if Garner’s character goes to have greater than a blink-and-you’ll-miss-it-cameo, that might seemingly indicate that Deadpool 3 might be set inside the Fox X-Men universe (or some different beforehand unseen alternate dimension) and never the principle MCU. (Wow, that’s the nerdiest factor I ever wrote. Go me.)
Garner’s Elektra is routinely ranked among the many worst Marvel films ever made, and the Daredevil film she was in wasn’t too a lot better. But that wasn’t her fault, and it may very well be actually enjoyable to see her again because the character — particularly if Deadpool 3 goes to have a complete bunch of (farewell?) appearances by the massive names of the Fox Marvel Universe. Can you think about if Chris Evans’ Human Torch had a cameo? Or Nic Cage’s Ghost Rider confirmed up? Could be wild.
Deadpool 3 is scheduled to open in theaters on May 3, 2024.
