In a recent interview with Collider, Deadpool & Wolverine stars Reynolds and Hugh Jackman, along with director Shawn Levy, discussed the film’s expectations for the superhero genre.

Levy continued, “[Mephisto] That’s who it was. We went through a lot of “almost” versions of this story before we landed. Frankly, it was the infamous call from Hugh, but then it was this idea of Cassandra Nova as a sibling to Charles because Cassandra’s link to Professor X creates an interesting dynamic and fascination in Cassandra about you [to Jackman].”

Who is Mephisto in Marvel?

Mephisto in Marvel Comics is a demon and Lord of the Splinter Realms, one of many devils ruling over their fiery domains. He is a Hell-lord of temptation, empowered by the souls of the damned. This demon strikes bargains with the living to collect residents for his hellish realm. Known also by names such as Mephistopheles, Lucifer, and even Satan, Mephisto has condemned many to his eternal service—or, in some cases, “blessed” them with power.

‘Deadpool & Wolverine’ is directed by Levy, the film stars Reynolds as Wade Wilson/Deadpool, alongside Jackman as Wolverine, Leslie Uggams as Blind Al, Karan Soni as Dopinder, Morena Baccarin as Vanessa Carlysle, Stefan Kapičić as Piotr Rasputin/Colossus, Rob Delaney as Peter, Shioli Kutsuna as Yukio, Brianna Hildebrand as Negasonic Teenage Warhead, Jennifer Garner as Elektra, and new additions Corrin, Tyler Mane as Sabretooth, and Matthew Macfadyen. The script is penned by Rhett Reese, Paul Wernick, Zeb Wells, Reynolds, and Levy.

Here’s the official synopsis for Deadpool & Wolverine:

Marvel Studios presents their most significant mistake to date—”Deadpool & Wolverine.” A listless Wade Wilson toils away in civilian life. His days as the morally flexible mercenary, Deadpool, behind him. When his homeworld faces an existential threat, Wade must reluctantly suit-up again with an even more reluctantlier… reluctanter? Reluctantest? He must convince a reluctant Wolverine to— F***. Synopses are so fuck*** stupid.

‘Deadpool & Wolverine’ tickets are now on sale at Fandango, AMC, IMAX, and Cinemark. The film will be released on IMAX, RealD 3D, Dolby Cinema, 4DX, Cinemark XD, and premium screens worldwide on July 26, 2024.
