Deadpool & Wolverine, set to premiere in theaters this Friday, features a slew of both returning and new characters as part of its cast. However, fans are wondering if the famous horror movie Jordan Peele will appear in Deadpool & Wolverine. Moreover, fans are also wondering what role Jordan Peele could play in the MCU.
Here’s everything you need to know about if Jordan Peele has a cameo in Deadpool & Wolverine, and what role can Peele play.
Does Jordan Peele have a cameo in Deadpool & Wolverine?
No, Jordan Peele does not have a cameo in Deadpool & Wolverine.
In a recent ScreenRant interview, Ryan Reynolds revealed that he and the team behind Deadpool & Wolverine originally offered a role to Jordan Peele. However, they could not get Peele to appear in the movie due to the latter’s busy schedule. Despite this, the Deadpool actor was full of praise for Peele and hoped that he could find a way to work with him eventually.
He said, “I think he’s just one of the great underrated performers as well. Obviously, he’s busy building a gigantic empire as a director and creator, but he’s somebody that I still, to this day, would love to find some way to team up with. I don’t even care what he would play, but I would love to work with him.”
Jordan Peele is currently a rising filmmaker in Hollywood. This is thanks to his portfolio of impressive and critically acclaimed horror-thriller movies like Get Out, Us, and Nope.
Moreover, recent online rumors sprung up claiming Peele reportedly met with Marvel Studios to possibly write or direct one of their films. According to The Hot Mic’s Jeff Sneider, it was the highly-anticipated MCU X-Men movie reboot. Unfortunately, it seems as if talks between both parties fell through.
What role could Jordan Peele play in the MCU?
It is currently unknown whom Jordan Peele is playing in the MCU. This is because he has not been cast in the franchise, as of writing.
As an actor, Peele has extensive experience in comedy. This background positions him well to portray a character with a strong sense of humor in the MCU, similar to the comic relief roles played by Michael Peña’s Luis in the Ant-Man movies and Ned in the Spider-Man films.
It remains to be seen whether Jordan Peele will join the MCU as an actor or writer-director. Nonetheless, if he does join, then fans can expect him to contribute significantly to the franchise.
