As the mercenaries and adamantium claws join forces for an epic adventure in the forthcoming Deadpool & Wolverine, excitement naturally mounts over the potential return of beloved characters from Marvel comics. With various names already linked to the cast and Hugh Jackman poised to reprise his role as Logan alongside Ryan Reynolds' Deadpool, fresh updates have emerged courtesy of Famke Janssen, a stalwart of the X-Men film series.

Renowned for portraying Jean Grey, Janssen has hinted at the prospect of her involvement in Deadpool & Wolverine, adding to the intrigue surrounding the project.

During a recent conversation with ComicBook, Famke Janssen hinted at the possibility of her involvement in Deadpool & Wolverine. Janssen is renowned for her portrayal of the telepathic mutant, Jean Grey, who later came as Phoenix, in five films spanning from 2000 to 2014. Regarding the potential for her appearance in Deadpool & Wolverine, Janssen remained uncertain, admitting to harboring doubts but also acknowledging that in the realm of filmmaking, "you never know."

Reflecting on her experiences, she expressed surprise at the return of her character after Jean Grey's demise, stating they were all the shockers she “never anticipated”. However, not only did she return as Phoenix in X-Men: The Last Stand, but her presence was felt in flashback sequences in both The Wolverine and Days of Future Past. While her statement does not clearly confirm her potential appearance, Janssen may be intentionally keeping things ambiguous, perhaps aiming to surprise audiences this time around.

Even though it remains unknown if Jean Grey or Phoenix will appear in Deadpool & Wolverine, following the trailer releases, these are the characters that are expected to return.

Besides the titular roles of Deadpool and Wolverine, several other characters are expected to feature in the upcoming Deadpool & Wolverine. Firstly, the telepathic mutant, Azazel, who was first seen in X-Men: First Class is expected to appear since the new trailer featured a brief moment featuring Azazel with Lady Deathstrike. Furthermore, Toad is anticipated to return since set photos have revealed the same.

Besides these, Sabretooth is also supposed to helm the screen for MCU’s priority release of the year as per snaps leaked from the sets. Additionally, Pyro was spotted in the first trailer of Deadpool & Wolverine, as was Colossus. Since a multitude of characters from the franchise are expected to make appearances in Deadpool & Wolverine, the chances for Jean Grey and Phoenix also take a good bet, even if it is all in the format of flashback theory.
