Patrick Stewart and Ryan Reynolds have broken their silence and responded to rumors that they will be part of Doctor Strange in the multiverse of Madness as Professor X and Deadpool, respectively.
Talking to character book, Stewart finally responded to the Super Bowl trailer for the Doctor Strange sequel that seemed to use his voice to tease the return of Professor X and the X-Men’s long-awaited arrival in the MCU.
“You know, people have been imitating my voice since I got on stage 60 years ago,” Stewart said. “So, I can’t be held responsible for that.”
Reynolds also spoke out about the rumors, especially after many fans believed Deadpool appeared in a Doctor Strange poster in the Multiverse of Madness poster that was released alongside the Super Bowl trailer. Eagle-eyed fans claim that one of the shards of glass in the poster contains the faintest glimpse of Deadpool.
in conversation with diverse, Reynolds has denied being part of the MCU movie.
“I guess I’m not supposed to say anything about it, but I’m not really in the movie,” Reynolds said. “I could be an unreliable narrator, but I promise you I’m not in the movie.”
While these two long-awaited phenomena are not 100% confirmed, lying about throwing rumors is nothing new. Most recently, Spider-Man: No Way Home featured a specific actor who spent months denying his involvement in the movie.
Could Stewart and Reynolds be added to this list? We won’t have long to wait to find out as Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness arrives exclusively in theaters May 6, 2022.
