Grading all of the cameos in Deadpool and Wolverine

As a longtime fan of these iconic characters, I must say that I was absolutely thrilled with the cameos in Deadpool 3! Some of these actors brought their A-game and reminded us why we fell in love with their roles in the first place.

It was generally believed that actors from 20th Century Fox would feature in both Deadpool and Wolverine films. Given that this could be the last of their shared universe, it seemed fitting for them to end on a high note. Over time, this prediction proved more accurate than we initially thought.

Actors such as Tyler Mane (Sabretooth), Dafnee Keen (X-23), and Jennifer Garner (Elektra) were included or joined the cast of the Deadpool and Wolverine film, hinting at the appearance of other characters from previous Marvel movies. This was later verified during the movie screening.

In the movie “Deadpool and Wolverine”, you’ll find the characters and performers who made special appearances, not including Deadpool’s family as they are part of the “Deadpool” series itself and not cameos. Similarly, Emma Corrin’s Cassandra Nova and Matthew Macfadyen’s Mr. Paradox, who delivered impressive performances, were antagonists in the movie, not cameos.

As a fan, I must admit it was a pleasure to witness the next four performers, yet their brief appearance might have left some viewers feeling like they blinked and missed them. While they were certainly present, my ability to fully appreciate their characters or their performances was somewhat limited due to their brief stage time. Instead of giving them a low score, I believe it’s fairer to say that I need more time to fully evaluate their talent. So, let’s give them an ‘In Progress,’ rather than a final grade at this point.

• Jason Flemyng as Azazel
• Billy Clements as the Russian
• Dania Ramirez as Callisto
• Kelly Hu as Lady Deathstrike

Jon Favreau as Happy Hogan

In a fitting portrayal of Happy Hogan, John Favreau delivered just what was expected – humor, proficiency, and empathy. Above all, his acting synergy with Ryan Reynolds was spot-on.

Grade: A

Dafne Keen as X-23

As a passionate gamer, I couldn’t help but feel a pang of disappointment when Dafne Keen’s X-23 unveil in the last trailer for Deadpool and Wolverine didn’t occur within the movie itself. But luckily, it turned out that her performance was far superior to what we saw in Logan – a feat many believed impossible. This extraordinary portrayal of X-23 sets the stage for her becoming the definitive Wolverine in the Marvel Cinematic Universe.

Grade: A+ (because there’s nothing higher than this)

Tyler Mane as Sabretooth

As a gamer, I’ve got to admit, Mane didn’t exactly shine in his X-Men debut, but I was hoping for redemption when it came to Deadpool and Wolverine. With only a scant two minutes on screen, he delivered big time! He embodied the raw, ferocious essence of Sabretooth just as I imagined him from the comics.

Grade: B

Henry Cavill as Wolverine

Among the actors fans hoped to see as Wolverine, Cavill was definitely one of them. Although he might not appear as Wolverine in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, we can still enjoy his presence in this role.

It was utterly unexpected that this outcome would occur, making Cavill’s cameo appearance all the more impressive. He excels in embodying Logan with his muscular physique, gravelly voice, and fitting hairstyle. Regrettably, it seems we won’t be witnessing him as Wolverine again in future appearances.

Fans had hoped that Cavill would embody Wolverine on screen. Though he might not appear as such within the Marvel Cinematic Universe, they can still appreciate him in this role.

Grade: A

Chris Evans as Human Torch

In the theaters, Chris Evans’ unveiling as Johnny Storm sparked hearty chuckles. The tactic involving the red, white, and blue band on his wrist was clever, but it seemed that everyone in the audience except for me realized it wasn’t Captain America (Steve Rogers).

As a devoted fan, I’d rephrase it like this: “When Evans exclaims ‘Flame on,’ he truly shines brighter than ever! His humor and sarcasm were reminiscent of the two Fantastic Four films. The only thing lacking was the presence of his team.”

Grade: A+

Jennifer Garner as Elektra

While I may not personally enjoy Jennifer Garner as Elektra Natchios in the movies Daredevil or Elektra, it’s clear that she wasn’t the issue with those films. With the right creative team, Garner had the potential to become one of the best. Unfortunately, it took close to two decades to find the right approach.

Grade: A+

Wunmi Mosaku as B-15

Wunmi Mosaku demonstrated that she’s consistently exceptional, and her performance as both amusing and authoritative alongside Deadpool was captivating. Notably, her playful interactions with Peter were intriguing – they were subtly suggestive yet undeniably present, and timed perfectly to make an impact.

Grade: A

Ray Park as Toad

Toad experienced some positive instances, yet shared the same predicament as his comic character version. Essentially, he remains Toad. Ray Park delivered well, but his role primarily consisted of flicking a switch with his tongue and enduring beatings.

Grade: C

Aaron Stanford as Pyro

In the exceptional display, you wouldn’t find a more fitting performance from Pyro than what Aaron Stanford delivered. It became evident that his character remained malevolent and sided with whoever offered the most advantageous deal. Reminiscent of his role in “X-Men: The Last Stand“, unfortunately, it didn’t turn out well for him.

Grade: A+

Aaron W. Reed as Juggernaut

In this scenario, Juggernaut was intended to portray the imposing figure who’d be defeated by the diminutive hero, otherwise, his character might have been overlooked. Kudos to Aaron W. Reed for grasping his role and not exaggerating it.

Grade: C

Channing Tatum as Gambit

In the movie, Channing Tatum’s portrayal of Gambit provided some of the most hilarious moments. Despite being attached to play the role for years and encountering numerous delays, Tatum remained graceful about it all. He embraced the situation humorously, employing an exaggerated Cajun accent to underscore his participation in the joke. However, when it came time for action, he demonstrated why he’s renowned as one of Hollywood’s top action stars.

Grade: A+

Wesley Snipes as Blade

Wesley Snipes compensated for the less-than-favorable portrayal of his character in “Blade Trinity.” He delivered all the iconic lines we love and maintained that signature blend of wit and martial arts prowess. The highlight, perhaps, was his statement about no more Blade movies – let’s hope he’s wrong, but it seems doubtful.

Grade: A+

Blake Lively as Lady Deadpool

It was intriguing to watch Blake Lively, even masked, as Lady Deadpool, enhancing her enigma. Her stride from the abyss radiated the self-assuredness fitting for the head of Deadpool Inc. However, many might not recall her in combat situations. Fortunately, she delivered her dialogue impeccably, a quality we’ve come to anticipate.

Grade: C

Matthew McConaughey as Cowboy Deadpool and Nathan Fillion as Headpool

It could be argued that they deserved to be included on the incomplete list due to their captivating personas, particularly Headpool. The charm of Nathan Fillion playing every comic book character he gets his hands on is undeniable. Keep an eye out for his portrayal of Guy Gardner!
