Shawn Levy Unpacks ‘Deadpool & Wolverine’ Cameos and Spoilers: Channing Tatum’s Gambit, Jennifer Garner’s Ben Affleck Divorce Joke, Henry Cavill’s Wolverine and More
'Deadpool & Wolverine' director Shawn Levy unpacks the spoilers and cameos: Channing Tatum's Gambit, that Ben Affleck divorce joke and Henry Cavill.
That’s how director Shawn Levy and Ryan Reynolds convinced Chris Evans, Jennifer Garner, Wesley Snipes, Channing Tatum and more major stars to join Reynolds and Hugh Jackman in the otherwise top-secret cast of “Deadpool & Wolverine.” In the multiversal adventure, those actors reprised their roles from various Fox-era Marvel movies, including Evans as Johnny Storm from 2005’s “Fantastic Four” and the 2007 sequel “Rise of the Silver Surfer,” Garner’s Elektra from 2003’s “Daredevil” and 2005’s “Elektra,” Snipes from the “Blade” trilogy, and Tatum as Gambit — whose film never saw the light of day. Thanks to those high-wattage cameos (some of which were kept under wraps better than others) as well as pent-up demand to see Jackman’s gruff mutant Logan emerge from retirement and finally pair with Reynolds’ wise-cracking Merc With a Mouth, “Deadpool & Wolverine” has obliterated box office expectations. In a spoiler-filled conversation, Levy spoke to Variety about assembling a who’s who of Fox-era Marvel stars, crafting Tatum’s intentionally unintelligible Gambit accent and the truth about those persistent Taylor Swift rumors.
