Actresses Brianna Hildebrand and Shioli Kutsuna have officially signed on to reprise their roles in the highly anticipated “Deadpool 3,” joining Ryan Reynolds and a star-studded cast. The third installment of the beloved superhero franchise will be directed and produced by Shawn Levy under the Marvel Studios banner.
Hildebrand will once again portray Negasonic Teenage Warhead, the mutant ally of Ryan Reynolds’ witty and irreverent anti-hero, Deadpool. Known for her ability to generate powerful nuclear explosions, Negasonic Teenage Warhead played a pivotal role in the first two films. Kutsuna, on the other hand, will return as Yukio, Negasonic’s girlfriend and a Japanese mutant ninja who made her debut in “Deadpool 2.”
The screenplay for “Deadpool 3” has been penned by Reynolds, Levy, Paul Wernick, Rhett Reese, and Zeb Wells. Reynolds will also serve as a producer alongside Marvel Studios President Kevin Feige, who will make his first foray into the franchise following Disney’s acquisition of Fox.
While plot details for the upcoming film remain tightly under wraps, previous installments have centered around the misadventures of Wade Wilson, a foul-mouthed mercenary who becomes the wisecracking and immortal superhero Deadpool after undergoing a disfiguring science experiment.
