Deadpool 3 seems to be wrapped in a never-ending list of stars. The movie is on a mission to bring out Marvel characters and its actors after years. Ryan Reynolds showed his potential with the first two parts of the franchise, leaving Marvel, to put all their eggs in his basket. He won both the creative freedom and the company’s large budget, and we can see where the latter is being spent on.

Throughout the years, different versions of the X-Men have come out. Now, the merc with a mouth-led flick will explore the characters in a new light. Almost every few days, news of a character addition is announced, and hopping on that mutant ride is their mortal enemy, William Stryker.

The addition of yet another X-Men character has been announced for Deadpool 3

The last few days have continuously unwrapped new X-Men characters set to be joining Ryan Reynolds on Deadpool’s adventures. The latest announcement on Twitter confirms Brian Cox reprising his role as William Stryker. This confirmation comes a day after Charles Xavier and Magneto were reported to have joined the franchise. Much-loved actors Patrick Stewart and Ian McKellen will reprise their roles as well.

The cherry on the top came for fans when Jennifer Garner was roped in for playing Elektra after nearly 20 years. For many fans, Brian Fox is best known for his role as Logan Roy in the political comedy series Succession. The universally acclaimed series has shown his potential to fit perfectly in Deadpool since the protagonist is also known for being an action hero with a comical side.

With so many mutants being added to the third part, the need for powerful enemies had to be filled.

A look into the X-Men villain William Stryker

William Stryker can be characterized as a hater of the mutant, and someone who wants them destroyed. The role was last played by Fox in the 2003 movie X2: X-Men United. Before him, Danny Huston and Josh Helman brought the character to life in previous movies. The recurring character will have enough heroes to fight in the upcoming movie, especially with his known rivals.

Fans are coming up with new theories regarding the movie’s plot with so many interesting possibilities.
