Hollywood actor and the Succession star Matthew Macfadyen is all set to star in Marvel Studios Deadpool 3. Helmed by Shawn Levy, the Ryan Reynolds starrer comedy action film will also revive Hugh Jackman's much popular character Wolverine from the X-Men. According to Variety, a US based media house, this will be the first Deadpool project made since the intellectual property went to Disney in its acquisition of 20th Century Fox. All creatives involved insist the film will retain its extreme violence and raunchy tone, as well a hard R-rating. Deadpool 3: Owen Wilson's Mobius to Return in Ryan Reynolds' Marvel Film.

As per Variety, Levy last year said, "It is such a blast to laugh every day. It is so delicious to hear and write and come up with these scenes where people are just talking foul. And the violence is in your face and hardcore, and it's very much a Deadpool movie." Earlier The Crown star Emma Corrin also joined the lead cast of the film. Corrin's exact role hasn't been announced, but they are expected to play the villain opposite Reynolds' snarky mercenary and Jackman's Wolverine, reported Variety. Fans are especially excited about the next Deadpool because Jackman is bringing back his claws for the first time since his character died in 2017's Logan. Deadpool 3: Hugh Jackman Confirms Time Travel for Ryan Reynolds' Marvel Film, Says They Will Use a Device to Move Around 'Timelines'.
