Excitement is building for Deadpool and Wolverine, and it seems there are more surprises in store for fans! Speculation is swirling around Michael B. Jordan’s potential return as Erik Killmonger in the upcoming Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) movie.
The film appears to be a tribute to Marvel’s cinematic legacy, with nods to classic X-Men villains and the introduction of new characters like a viral pop star. Now, Michael B. Jordan has added fuel to the fire by sharing the movie’s trailer on his Instagram, sparking rumors of his MCU comeback.
While some may dismiss it as Jordan simply sharing his enthusiasm like any fan, Hugh Jackman, who portrayed Wolverine, amplified the speculation by reposting Jordan’s Instagram story with hearts on his own page. This echoes Jackman’s previous interactions with Channing Tatum, hinting at his possible appearance as Gambit in the film.
The big question on everyone’s mind is: who will Michael B. Jordan play in Deadpool and Wolverine? Given that it’s an MCU project, many speculate he could reprise his role as Killmonger, whether from the main timeline or an alternate version seen in Marvel’s What If…? series.
However, considering the movie’s homage to Fox’s Marvel contributions, it’s plausible that Jordan might portray the Human Torch instead. He previously portrayed Johnny Storm in the ill-fated Fantastic Four reboot, adding an intriguing layer of redemption to the character in a film centered on second chances.
Deadpool and Wolverine is slated for release on July 26, 2024. Keep an eye out for more updates on the future of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, and don’t forget to subscribe to our YouTube channel for the latest content!
