Professor X or Charles Xavier has been linked with the upcoming movie several times, and being the man behind the team’s name, it’s safe to say that Professor X is one of the most significant characters. Patrick Stewart, who previously played the character, reprised his role and played a variant version of  Professor X in MCU’s Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness.

There have been multiple fan theories surrounding Professor X entering the MCU, and the latest rumor suggests that Deadpool 3 will feature mutants from X2 and X-Men: First Class, which implies that there’s a chance for Professor to make his way. And not to forget he has incredible telepathic abilities, and if Marvel desires to introduce a younger version, James McAvoy could reprise his role.

2. Colossus

Another notable character that might make his way to Deadpool 3 is Colossus. Multiple reports are claiming that actor Stefan Kapičić will come back as Colussus, whose real name is Piotr Rasputin. Kapičić has been part of the previous Deadpool movies, which makes it easier for him to appear as a mutant. This X-Me character holds remarkable powers and can even transform his entire body into organic steel, which makes Colussus distinct from every X-Men in the universe.

Jean Grey isn’t just rumored to paper in Hugh Jackman’s movie but is also a fan favorite X-Men character.
