Of course, breaking a non-disclosure agreement with a movie studio can be damaging for an actor, meaning that some will go to extraordinary lengths to deny their involvement in a movie.
Perhaps the most notable instance of fibbing to the press about their work in the MCU came in 2021 when Andrew Garfield slammed the door on “Spider-Man: No Way Home” rumors, as reporters repeatedly asked him about reprising his iteration of Peter Parker from the “Amazing Spider-Man” series.
The rumors, naturally, proved to be true — Garfield and original live-action Spider-Man Tobey Maguire appear in “No Way Home.” Garfield, however, took the brunt of the questioning since he was continually doing press for what turned out to be a best actor Oscar-nominated role in “Tick, Tick … BOOM!” After he could publicly discuss “No Way Home,” Garfield joked he has a serious credibility problem and that no one will believe him anymore after all of his lies about not being in the film.
If Garner is in “Deadpool 3,” she’s not the only actor who needs to keep their participation under wraps. “Deadpool 3” behind-the-scenes updates further suggest the return of Fox’s X-Men, including Patrick Stewart’s Professor X, Halle Berry’s Storm, James Marsden’s Cyclops, and Famke Janssen’s Jean Grey. Moviegoers will know whether these characters appear in “Deadpool 3” when the film debuts in theaters on July 26, 2024.
