Matthew Macfadyen has his next gig lined up after the final season of Succession. As reported by Deadline, the Emmy-winning star of the HBO mega-hit drama is poised to join Ryan Reynolds in Marvel’s Deadpool 3. According to Deadline‘s sources, Macfadyen’s part is currently unknown. In addition to Reynolds and Macfadyen, Hugh Jackman will reprise his role as Wolverine, with The Crown‘s Emma Corrin in an undisclosed role and, potentially, Leslie Uggams as Blind Al.
Shawn Levy is at the helm for Deadpool 3, with Paul Wernick and Rhett Reese penning the script. Wendy Molyneux and Lizzie Molyneux-Logelin wrote an earlier draft of said script. As of now, we don’t have a premise for the flick. It marks Wade Wilson/Deadpool’s introduction into the Marvel Cinematic Universe and Wolverine’s first appearance beyond the 20th Century Fox Marvel movies.

Matthew Macfadyen is a brilliant actor, and while he’s not someone I expected to pop up in a Marvel movie, I’m curious to see what he brings to the table.
