With Deadpool 3, the mutants from the X-Men series of the 2000s are set to make their MCU debut. According to a tweet from a scooper known as CanWeGetSomeToast, Storm, Jean Grey, and Cyclops are among the X-Men characters that might join Deadpool in the MCU. The roles were previously played by Halle Berry, Famke Janssen, and James Marsden in the first X-Men film released in 2002.

Deadpool's arrival in the MCU will be a welcome treat for fans, and the presence of X-Men characters has heightened the anticipation. The inclusion of new cast members has prompted substantial debate among fans.

The prospective return of these characters into the MCU also raises concerns about the narrative's direction. It will be fascinating to watch how Deadpool and these characters from many times and universes interact in this new scenario. Will they keep their original plot arcs, or will the MCU rework them for a new tale?
