Daily News for Marvel Movie

Summary

• Walker Scobell almost joined the MCU in Deadpool & Wolverine as Kidpool, though this ultimately didn't come to fruition.
• Despite missing out on Deadpool & Wolverine, there's still a chance Scobell could appear in future MCU projects, possibly as Teenpool or in the X-Men reboot.
• With Scobell's rising stardom and ties to Disney, it's likely he'll find a place in the MCU in the coming years, potentially in Phase 7 or beyond.

Walker Scobell reveals how he was almost in the Marvel Cinematic Universe after being initially offered a role in Deadpool & Wolverine. 2024 has been a solid year for Marvel Studios, as Deadpool & Wolverine has become the first MCU film since Spider-Man: No Way Home to hit the billion-dollar mark at the worldwide box office. The Phase 5 film wasn't only Wade Wilson's integration into the MCU, but also a celebration of the Fox-Marvel era, with Deadpool & Wolverine having lots of Easter eggs and references to this period throughout the movie.
Despite already having a lot of Marvel cameos in Deadpool & Wolverine, it turns out that a highly demanded fan casting almost came to fruition. In an interview with IGN, Walker Scobell discussed having initially been in talks with Deadpool & Wolverine director Shawn Levy about taking on the role of Kidpool. With the actor having already worked together with Levy and Ryan Reynolds on The Adam Project, Scobell opened up about how he was honored to be considered, but that several factors came into play to prevent it from happening, sharing the following:

There was a little bit of talks, like maybe Kidpool, or like Teen, or something like that… but I grow a lot, and I'm super busy with Percy, and it didn't make sense for the time. Shawn [Levy] gave me a call about it, which, it's crazy that they were even thinking of me for that. That's all I could ask for, and the fact that he gave me a call to tell me that it wasn't happening, which I didn't even expect it to happen in the first place, that was just more than I could ever ask for.

2 How Walker Scobell Could Still Appear In The MCU Close While Scobell may not have been able to take part in Deadpool & Wolverine, that doesn't mean he can't show up in the franchise in the future. Given the massive success behind Deadpool & Wolverine, it wouldn't be shocking if a Deadpool 4 movie were to be considered at some point, either before or after the end of The Multiverse Saga. That way, Scobell could finally come in as Teenpool (rather than Kidpool) and reunite with Reynolds' Deadpool, since that was a variant that didn't show up in the new film.
However, with Scobell being a talented actor whose stardom is on the rise, he would also be a great addition to the MCU's next generation of heroes. Marvel Studios is currently developing their new X-Men reboot, which is bound to feature young versions of various iconic heroes. Scobell could potentially take on an X-Men character and become one of the leading mutants in the MCU, which will likely start in Phase 7.
With Scobell already being in the Disney family through Percy Jackson And The Olympians, it wouldn't be a shock if he did join the MCU at some point down the line. It's just a matter of timing, as filming a TV show does come with lengthy shooting schedules. But hopefully, after missing out on Deadpool & Wolverine, there will be a place for Scobell in the MCU in the coming years.
Deadpool & Wolverine R A follow-up to the highly successful Deadpool and Deadpool 2 films starring Ryan Reynolds as the Merc with a Mouth. The third film will be the first in the franchise to be developed under the Marvel Studios banner following Disney's acquisition of 20th Century Fox.
