Matthew McConaughey Is Speculated To Be Playing Cowboy Deadpool In The MCU
The Actor Has Starred In Ghosts Of Girlfriends Past And The Lincoln Lawyer
Matthew McConaughey is speculated to appear inDeadpool & Wolverineas Cowboy Deadpool.With the actor’s southern drawl and undeniable charm, this would be an incredible way to use the Academy Award-winning actor in his first MCU appearance.
The actor first rose to prominence after a role inDazed and Confusedin 1993 that, while strong, led to many roles that seemed to reduce the performer to rom-com fodder. For a time, there were jokes that if McConaughey were to show up in a movie, he would be required to take his shirt off.
Perception of the performer has, however, evolved over the years, especially with his appearances inTrue DetectiveandDallas Buyers Club.His short appearance inThe Wolf of Wall Street shows thatMcConaughey can stand out even in the tiniest role.If he is indeed appearing inDeadpool & Wolverine, his scene will be hard to top in the film. The actor will next appear in the titular role inThe Rivals of Amziah King.
Deadpool & Wolverine Trailer Confirms Multiple New Deadpools & Has A Great Disney/Wolverine Joke
Since Deadpool & Wolverine arrives in 10 days, Marvel Studios debuts a new trailer while teasing the arrival of more Deadpool variants in the MCU.
Who Is Cowboy Deadpool?
Otherwise Known As The Deadpool Kid
From Earth-1108, Cowboy Deadpoolis generally referred to as the Deadpool Kidand while he’s not widely considered one of the most popular iterations of the character, he’s certainly a cool one.During the Deadpool Corps storylines, a vast array of Deadpools with little twists on their characters including Headpool, Dogpool, and Lady Deadpool, many of which are confirmed asvariants inDeadpool & Wolverine, fought against one another. These stories grew big and bombastic, and regrettably, few details were provided for many of these iterations of the hero.
Deadpool Kid is one of these lesser-fleshed-out variants. Thought to be killed by Deadpool, the Deadpool Kid is eventually brought back by Dreadpool in the comics.He winds up fighting against Deadpool in the army of Evil Deadpools, but is eventually killed there as well.It is unclear exactly how much of the comic canon will be used if the character is included in the upcoming film. However, it appears clear that a number of Deadpool variants will certainly be coming together in some kind of multiversal event.
Who plays Lady Deadpool in Deadpool & Wolverine?
Deadpool & Wolverine promotion continues to tease the character of Lady Deadpool, but never reveals the actress who is playing her. There is lots of speculation that it could be superstar Taylor Swift, or Ryan Reynolds wife, Blake Lively. I think that it will be Blake Lively because she is just as snarky and talented as her husband, and who doesn’t want to see the two of them on screen being ridiculous together. Blake has not yet appeared in any of the Deadpool films, so this feels like the perfect way to include her. Taylor Swift is supposedly confirmed to not be in Wolverine & Deadpool, although she would be a great casting choice for Dazzler.
McConaughey Hinted He Was Almost Cast In A Previous MCU Role
The Actor Nearly Starred In Guardians Of The Galaxy Vol. 2
Several years ago, McConaughey was nearly cast inGuardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2. While the character ofMcConaughey’s MCU rejectionwas never specifically confirmed, it seemed that the actor was up for the villain of the film. This means,McConaughey was considered for the role of Ego, Peter Quill’s father.The Celestial was eventually played by Kurt Russell, but McConaughey would have been an equally fantastic choice.
Ever since that near-miss casting, there has been wide speculation on whether McConaughey could fit into the MCU. WhileMcConaughey has spoken of his dream Marvel rolein The Hulk after being a fan of the Lou Ferrigno series,the actor would also be well-suited for a number of heroes or villains, including Norman Osborn.However, a Deadpool variant would be an excellent way to tide audiences over until the actor hopefully someday takes on a larger role in the MCU or DCU.
World War Hulk: Plot Details & Everything We Know
Marvel Studios has been putting the chess pieces in place for a World War Hulk movie, which could be the biggest non-Avengers event movie in the MCU.
Deadpool & Wolverinewill bring together an enormous cast of characters and promises to be a fun and exciting watch. Much of the interest around the film surrounds the idea thatvirtually anybody or anything could show up in the multiverse hopping tale. With the inclusion of the Deadpool Corps, there is a high likelihood that other exciting performers could play various iterations of the Deadpool character. Whether McConaughey is among them remains to be seen, however, he would be an excellent addition toDeadpool & Wolverineand the MCU as a whole.
