A new face will take the Marvel Cinematic Universe by storm. As reported by Deadline, The Crown breakout Emma Corrin will star opposite Ryan Reynolds in Deadpool 3, which is poised to make its MCU debut. Details regarding the role are scant, but Deadline reveals Corrin will play a villain.
As for the creative team behind Deadpool 3, Shawn Levy will helm this next installment from a script by Paul Wernick and Rhett Reese. Wendy Molyneux and Lizzie Molyneux-Logelin penned an earlier draft. Marvel Studios President Kevin Feige joins Reynolds and Levy as a producer. Cast-wise, besides the addition of Corrin, Reynolds will reprise his role as Wade Wilson, a.k.a. our Merc with a Mouth, with Hugh Jackman as Wolverine and Leslie Uggams as Blind Al.

Corrin made their acting debut in 2017. They snagged a recurring role on Pennyworth as Esme Winikus in 2019 before landing the part of young Princess Diana on The Crown in 2020, a part which earned them rave reviews and an Emmy nomination. In 2022, they starred in two well-received dramas: the Harry Styles-led My Policeman and Netflix’s Lady Chatterley’s Lover opposite Jack O’Connell.
They can next be seen in the TV mystery miniseries Retreat, slated for debut this year, as well as Robert Eggers’ Nosferatu. Currently, they’re starring in a West End production of Orlando.

Disney acquired 20th Century Fox in 2017, with the acquisition finalized on March 20, 2019. Naturally, this sent fans’ minds into overdrive as they wondered whether characters such as the mutant team X-Men and Deadpool would find their way under the MCU umbrella. In 2021, Feige confirmed Deadpool 3 would be an MCU film. It will also maintain its R-rating as established with its predecessors, Deadpool and Deadpool 2. Deadpool 3 will release on November 8, 2024.
I’m curious to see what Corrin will bring to the villain table. So far, I’ve only seen them on The Crown, but they blew me away with their performance and incredible attention to detail regarding the late Princess of Wales’ mannerisms.
