Despite his role in the first two films, Josh Brolin has revealed that he will not be appearing in the upcoming third Deadpool film, stating that he “so wanted to be in that movie.” Titled Deadpool & Wolverine, the film will merge the characters made famous by Ryan Reynolds and Hugh Jackman, and will feature multi-verse traversal elements. The film’s trailer shows the pair jumping through a portal commonly used by Doctor Strange and his fellow sorcerers. Deadpool & Wolverine will be released on July 26 in cinemas.
Brolin, who played Cable in the first two Deadpool films has confirmed in a new interview that he was not invited to take part in this new movie.

And I will never know where that went or what that is or what I’m involved with or what I’m not involved with – the MCU being so involved now.” Despite not appearing in this upcoming film, Brolin said he really enjoyed his role in the previous two movies.
Earlier this month, Deadpool & Wolverine director Shawn Levy addressed rumours that Taylor Swift could appear in a potentially surprise appearance in the upcoming Marvel film as superhero Dazzler. The singer has been at the centre of speculation over a potential surprise appearance in the upcoming Marvel film. “That is hardly confirmed nor denied in this interview. I’m going to literally walk out of the frame and save myself, otherwise Ryan [Reynolds]’s taking a hit [out] on me,” he said.

Besides Chalamet, the book is said to include Brolin’s on-set interactions with fellow Dune stars Zendaya, Stellan Skarsgård, Florence Pugh, Austin Butler, and Christopher Walken, among others
