Every Marvel fan can barely contain their excitement for Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness, especially with Professor Xavier (Sir Patrick Stewart) revealed in the latest trailer.
This Sam Raimi mind-boggling Marvel movie is sure to break box office records. Still, iconic characters Deadpool (Ryan Reynolds), Wolverine (Hugh Jackman), Magneto (Sir Ian McKellan), and more were just cut from the film:

These same reports began circulating the week before Spider-Man: No Way Home (2021) hit theaters, suggesting that Tobey Maguire and Andrew Garfield’s iconic characters wouldn’t appear alongside Tom Holland.
Of course, those rumors were false. Hopefully, it’s the same in this case.

For months (actually years), Marvel fans have speculated that Tom Cruise would replace Robert Downey Jr.’s iconic Tony Stark in Multiverse of Madness. The latest trailer fueled these reports with a mysterious flying figure donning a Stark-esque mustache and beard flying through the sky towards the Scarlet Witch (Elizabeth Olsen).
On top of that, many have long hoped that Hugh Jackman would reprise the role of his vicious mutant, Logan/Wolverine, alongside counterparts Professor X and Magneto.

Given that Marvel revealed that Professor Xavier is leading the Illuminating in this Doctor Strange sequel, it’s clear that Kevin Feige is bringing mutants into the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
As a result, many assume that Deadpool’s time to shine is just around the corner, especially with Ryan Reynolds recently denying he doesn’t know anything about the upcoming Marvel film, calling back to the days of Andrew Garfield lying about his Spider-Man reprisal.
