“Percy Jackson” star Walker Scobell has recently spoken out about swirling rumors linking him to a role in “Deadpool 3″ as the youthful variant of the iconic Marvel character, Kidpool. The actor, known for his role in Disney+‘s “Percy Jackson and the Olympians” series, addressed the speculations during a conversation with ComicBookMovie.com's Josh Wilding at a global press conference for the Percy Jackson series, Screenrant reports.
Scobell, who is rumored to potentially portray Kidpool in the upcoming MCU film, expressed his admiration for reuniting with actors Ryan Reynolds and Owen Wilson. Despite acknowledging the valuable lessons learned from them, Scobell seemed to debunk the rumors by stating, “Not that I know of, but I learned a lot of valuable lessons from them that I used while filming Percy Jackson. And, um, yeah, I'm not sure—I'm hoping to reunite someday, but I don't know.”
The buzz around Scobell's involvement in “Deadpool 3” sparked due to his past collaboration with Reynolds in Netflix's “The Adam Project.” Their successful on-screen chemistry, particularly as the same character in different age brackets, makes Scobell a strong contender for the role of Kidpool. Given Kidpool's character essence as a younger version of Wade Wilson (Deadpool's alter ego), the rapport between Scobell and Reynolds from their previous venture could potentially blend seamlessly into the MCU's storyline.
While Scobell's comments seem to downplay his participation in “Deadpool 3,” the speculation surrounding his potential involvement remains high. The multiverse theme expected in the film leaves room for various character variants, providing a possibility for surprises and unexpected appearances.
As fans eagerly await updates on the casting for “Deadpool 3,” Scobell's remarks neither confirm nor deny his role, leaving enthusiasts intrigued about the eventual roster of characters set to join the highly anticipated Marvel installment.
