Ryan Reynolds liking a single post has some convinced Kidpool might feature in ‘Deadpool 3’

There’s an ongoing rumor that Ryan Reynold‘s latest internet activity might have added clues for a potential character, who also happens to have strong ties to the multiverse.

Twitter Caleb Williams shared a video in which Walker Scobell hung out with Reynolds, giving a monologue that might resemble something that Deadpool would say. Williams tagged the two actors and asked if Scobell was cast to play Kidpool in Deadpool 3:

The Direct reported that Reynolds liked the tweet. While this does not confirm anything, it got many people excited about the idea that Kidpool may be a featured variant in Deadpool 3 and Scobell could indeed be playing the character. If this is true, then this has to be a pretty ingenius casting decision on Marvel Studios’ part, since Scobell played Reynold’s younger counterpart in The Adam Project. So imagine him doing the same thing in this Rated-R movie.

Kidpool is a Deadpool variant from Earth – 10330. He was a new student of the Xavier Orphanage for Troubled Boys and struggled to get along with other students due to behavioral issues. After he decided to leave the orphanage, he was recruited by another Deadpool from Earth-616 to the Deadpool Corps and save the multiverse.

The Deadpool 3 variants rumors started after his character could return using “time travel” and “science.”

Deadpool 3 has begun production, however, it was paused due to the ongoing SAG-AFTRA and WGA strikes. Despite these delays, the film is still scheduled to hit theaters on May 3, 2024.
