The latest rumor suggests Ben Affleck will return to “Deadpool 3” reprising his role as Daredevil. The film is scheduled to arrive in theaters on May 3, 2024.
The rumor comes from KC Walsh a.k.a. @TheComixKid, who reports that Affleck was seen on the Deadpool 3 set, with the threequel having begun principal photography in England towards the end of last month. While Walsh has “no idea who he is playing,” the mere mention of Affleck being around this production has set off speculation that he’s reprising Matt Murdock, a.k.a. Daredevil, whom he played in the 2003 Daredevil movie. Walsh acknowledged in a separate tweet that this is “likely,” but at the moment, there isn’t any information available to verify that.
As always, since nothing has been confirmed by Marvel or Disney, we will treat this as a rumor for now.
In “Deadpool 3,” a weary Wolverine finds himself recovering from his injuries when he comes across a loudmouth Deadpool who has time traveled forward to heal his greatest pal in the hopes to befriend the wild beast and to team up to take down a foe they both have in common.
