Dominoactor Zazie Beetz addresses her Marvel mutant’s absence inDeadpool & Wolverineafter her introduction inDeadpool 2. Before Ryan Reynolds' Wade Wilson and Hugh Jackman’s Logan starred in their first MCU movie, Deadpool starred in two extremely popular solo movies in Fox’sX-Menfranchise, 2016’sDeadpooland 2018’sDeadpool 2. InDeadpool 2, Wade Wilson not only led his own X-Force team, but he also befriended two famous mutant characters who had never appeared in a live-action movie before — Josh Brolin’s Cable and Zazie Beetz' Domino. Despite their positive reception, however,Deadpool & Wolverine’s packed castdidn’t include Cable and Domino.
Speaking toScreenRantat theSXSWpremiere of Andre Gaines’The Dutchman,Deadpool 2’s Domino star Zazie Beetz confirms that there haven’t been talks of Domino’s return in the MCU. Beetz suggests she’s still interest in reprising herDeadpool 2role, joking,“I talk about it to myself,“and leaves the possibility open. Read Beetz' comments below:
I haven’t had any talks with Marvel, but I talk about it to myself. [Laughs] So, I don’t know. I’d have to find a writer and do all that work, but maybe, who knows?
What Zazie Beetz' Domino Comments Mean For The Mutant Character
Domino May Not Appear In The MCU For A While
Josh Brolin’s Cable andZazie Beetz’s Domino didn’t return forDeadpool & Wolverine, probably becauseDeadpool & Wolverine’s cast was already chock-full of characters. Zazie Beetz' comments confirm she hasn’t discussed Domino’s future appearances either, which suggests that Domino won’t return inAvengers: Doomsday, which is starting production in 2025. Given thatAvengers: Secret Warsis set for release in 2027,it’s possible that Zazie Beetz also won’t reprise her Domino role for the Multiverse Saga’s epic conclusion.
The MCU’s New X-Men Series Sets Up The Perfect Way To Make Deadpool & Wolverine’s “Until He’s 90” Threat A Reality For Hugh Jackman’s Wolverine
An MCU X-Men series is reportedly on the way, as the show’s revealed story would present the perfect way for Hugh Jackman’s Wolverine to return.
However, Marvel Studios will likely keepAvengers: DoomsdayandAvengers: Secret Wars' supporting characters and cameos under wraps for as long as possible until each movie’s release. Due to their multiversal nature,Avengers: DoomsdayandAvengers: Secret Warsprovide many characters from Fox’sX-Menmovie franchise with their biggest chance to return in the MCU. After that,the MCU’sX-Menmoviesand shows could wipe the slate clean and introduce new versions of every mutant, including another Domino. Hence, Zazie Beetz' Domino and Josh Brolin’s Cable could still make a small appearance in either of the MCU’s next twoAvengersmovies.
Our Take On Zazie Beetz' Domino Comments
Zazie Beetz' Domino Deserves To Come Back At Least Once More
Domino is a particularly tough character to include in any story, live-action or otherwise, due to her luck-based mutant powers.Deadpool 2adapted Domino’s powers and personality flawlessly, and it set up her future adventures alongside Deadpool’s X-Force. While integrating Wade Wilson and Logan into the MCU inDeadpool & Wolverineis a huge feat on its own, Marvel Studios could still doDominoand Cable justice by bringing them back for at least one more mission together.
