The most recent trailer for Deadpool & Wolverine confirmed that on top of Hugh Jackman’s Wolverine, plenty of familiar characters
In a recent interview with Comicbook.com about Dune 2, Josh Brolin admitted he will likely be missing from Deadpool 3 as the time-traveling Cable.
The last time audiences saw the character, he had just saved Deadpool’s life. Not long after, Wade Wilson steals his time-traveling device.
It is hard to imagine Cable making no appearance in Deadpool 3 at all. It is strange he is not with all of Wade’s friends celebrating the Mercenary’s birthday (as seen in Deadpool & Wolverine’s trailer).
Many fans predicted Deadpool’s time-traveling antics were what got him in trouble with the TVA in the first place. Maybe the self-appointed Timeline protectors got to Cable first?
But, at the same time, it is important to remember just because an actor says one thing, it does not mean they are being 100% truthful. So, Cable fans should not lose all hope.
Domino – Zazie Beetz
Back in June 2023, Domino actress Zazie Beetz outright confirmed to Collider that she “is not actually going to be in Deadpool 3.”
Just like Cable, her character missing from the film is a little jarring. After all, even X-Force members Peter and Shatterstar are somehow at Wade Wilson’s birthday celebration in Deadpool & Wolverine—how is Domino not there?
The character was first introduced in Deadpool 2, where she helped the team stop the mutant Russell from going down a dark path in life. Following the events of that film, by all accounts, she should still be alive and well.
Perhaps Beetz will ultimately surprise audiences. After all, there are always reboots!
Weasel – TJ Miller
TJ Miller’s Weasel was a key comedic voice in the Deadpool franchise for the first two films.
Sadly, on many levels, the actor became buried in sexual assault accusations and legal troubles starting in 2017. Since then, he has not had a notable on-screen credit to his name—and was swiftly removed from other projects he was originally attached to.
Because of all of that, fans should not expect to see Weasel make a return. It would not be too surprising if Ryan Reynolds’ Wade cracked some sort of joke about him dying off-screen.

BONUS: Gina Carano’s Angel Dust
Much like TJ Miller’s Weasel, Gina Carano got into a bunch of trouble in the public spotlight.
Carano played Angel Dust in the first Deadpool film, a mutant who helped Ajax, the villain of Wade Wilson’s first adventure. Surprisingly, there was no confirmation of her death following the movie’s conclusion—so she is probably still out there.
In early 2021, the actress found herself sharing anti-Semitic sentiments on social media alongside other extreme and offensive views, which got her swiftly dropped by Disney from The Mandalorian.
With Disney signing the check for Deadpool & Wolverine, they probably want absolutely nothing to do with the actress—especially since she just sued them with the help of Elon Musk.
