As excitement for ‘Deadpool & Wolverine’ builds, fans are buzzing about a potential new character: Lady Deadpool, a female version of Deadpool from an alternate universe.
Speculation began with a trailer released in June 2024, which showed a pair of legs in a suit similar to Deadpool’s, while Ryan Reynolds, voicing the titular character, says, “I’m about to lose everything that I’ve ever cared about.” The final trailer, released before the film’s July 26, 2024 premiere, revealed a figure with blonde hair wearing a red and black suit like Deadpool’s, fueling rumours that this could be the Marvel Cinematic Universe’s introduction of Lady Deadpool.
Theories about Blake Lively, Reynolds’ wife, playing Lady Deadpool intensified after the final trailer. Fans believe Lively could be taking on the role due to the blonde hair and the connection to her husband.

Lady Deadpool shares many powers with her male counterpart, including rapid healing, near-immortality, and immunity to most poisons, drugs, and diseases. She also has peak human strength, speed, and agility, and is highly skilled in combat and bladed weapons.
Teasers and trailers for ‘Deadpool & Wolverine’ have hinted at Lady Deadpool’s appearance, with a teaser showing a figure in a Deadpool-like suit, and the final trailer revealing the full suit and blonde hair. Although there’s no official confirmation, director Shawn Levy has suggested that the film will feature numerous cameos and new characters.

Levy mentioned in July 2024 that while some internet rumours are accurate, others are “way off base.” Speculation about Lively playing Lady Deadpool continues, but no casting has been confirmed. Reynolds jokingly denied that he is playing the role, dismissing it as a conspiracy theory.
Lady Deadpool’s introduction would expand the MCU’s multiverse, a concept developed in recent Marvel projects. ‘Deadpool & Wolverine’ picks up after ‘Deadpool 2’, with Wade interacting with the Time Variance Authority (TVA), introduced in the Disney+ series ‘Loki’. The film marks a significant step in integrating characters from the Marvel universe, especially after Disney’s 2019 acquisition of Fox, which brought characters like Deadpool and Wolverine into the MCU. Marvel Studios CEO Kevin Feige highlighted the significance of having these characters together under one roof.
