It wouldn’t be the first time that an unexpected appearance from an “X-Men” character was confirmed during the marketing push of “Deadpool & Wolverine.” In the last trailer for “Deadpool & Wolverine” they hid so much (or tried to) that there were plenty of interesting glimpses to pick apart. It was there that we saw Ray Park’s Toad from “X-Men,” Kelly Hu’s Lady Deathstrike from “X2,” and Jason Flemyng’s Azazel from “X-Men: First Class,” who are all potentially working for the film’s big bad, Cassandra Nova (Emma Corrin). With a guest list as big as that, maybe Jones also suited up. If so, consider us well and truly duped.
It’s also worth noting that as a former Welsh-born soccer player himself, Jones may have had a good long chat with Ryan Reynolds, co-owner of Welsh team Wrexham F.C., and been swayed to make an appearance in secret. Let’s face it, if he can talk Hugh Jackman into popping the claws back on after initially calling it a day as Wolverine, Vinnie Jones putting on a steel pan one more time shouldn’t be that much of a stretch. We’ll have to find out for ourselves when “Deadpool and Wolverine” finally hits theaters on July 26.
