Highlights

Wade Wilson – better known as Deadpool – not only entertains with his action, but also with his foul-mouthed, sharp, dagger-like tongue, from which no character is spared.

Audiences seem to enjoy his wit more than his action, and now Deadpool is making his Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) debut.

Deadpool (Ryan Reynolds) is fixated upon X-Men and the franchise's main character Wolverine (played by Hugh Jackman), and in the first Deadpool film, Wade makes a very in-character joke about it:

"You're probably thinking, 'Whose b***s did I have to fondle to get my very own movie?' I can’t tell you his name, but it rhymes with 'Polverine.' And let me tell you, he’s got a nice pair of smooth criminals down under."

Deadpool, at the start of the franchise's first movie, alluded to how he landed his very own superhero movie franchise — but in the Deadpool sequel, Wilson was clearly displeased with Wolverine, after the character died and took center stage.

At the very beginning of Deadpool 2, Wade says:

"F*** Wolverine. First, he rides my coattails with the R rating. Then the hairy motherf***** ups the ante by dying. What a d***. Well, guess what, Wolvie? I’m dying in this one, too!"

But now, Deadpool has seemingly somehow summoned Wolverine back from the clutches of death.

And Jackman, who played Wolverine/Logan, will appear in the third Deadpool film, Deadpool & Wolverine:

Fans of Wolverine and Deadpool are excited to see their contrasting relationship — Deadpool's playful bullying, and Wolverine's hot temper (and frequent inability to suppress it).

Deadpool & Wolverine's merger means both franchises' main characters will appear on-screen together.

Today, let’s see who will appear in Deadpool & Wolverine, how much they have amassed in terms of net worth, and what their roles will be in the upcoming, hotly-anticipated movie.

10 Aaron Stanford

Aaron Stanford's Net Worth (Estimated): $500,000

Fire guy Pyro (Aaron Stanford) appeared 18 years ago in X-Men: The Last Stand, as the evil mutant and right hand man of main antagonist, Magneto.

After almost two decades, Pyro's role has been resurrected in Deadpool & Wolverine, and Aaron Stanford will appear in this role.

The last time he appeared in an X-Men movie, he was 29 years old. Now he is 47. Stanford egan his career as the lead in 2002's Tadpole.

The following year, he was introduced as John Allardyce (Pyro), a show-boating kid who burned a mutant fellow just for fun.

But X-Men is not his only claim to fame; he is a well-established actor who has accumulated 41 acting credits to date.

Some of Stanford's most well known movies are The Hills Have Eyes, Tadpole, and Live Free Or Die. But his biggest role was the lead in 12 Monkeys.

After that, he appeared in many television series, including Fear The Walking Dead, Perry Mason, and Westworld, and acting is his primary source of wealth.

As of early 2024, Aaron Stanford's net worth is estimated at $500,000.

9 Brianna Hildebrand

Brianna Hildebrand's Net Worth (Estimated): $1 Million

In Deadpool's debut movie, then 20-year-old actor Brianna Hildebrand – with a cool name ("Negasonic Teenage Warhead") and a cooler "I don't care" attitude – received the hard-won praise of superhero movie fans.

Negasonic Teenage Warhead's verbal altercations with the often crass Deadpool are hilarious, and in the third film, we will likely see more humorous banter between the two sarcastic characters.

Hildebrand started her career when she was just 17, in the television series Annie Undocumented.

There have been many remarkable projects in her ten-year journey, like the Deadpool movie series, First Girl I Loved, The Tragedy Girls, The Exorcist (television series), Lucifer, and The Time Capsule.

Hildebrand's upcoming projects include Persephone, Osiris, and Fog Of War, alongside her most awaited movie — Deadpool & Wolverine.

She is now 27, has worked on 20 acting projects, and at such a young age, she has become a millionaire.

As of 2024, Brianna Hildebrand's net worth is estimated at around $1 million, and is rising rapidly.

8 Emma Corrin

Emma Corrin's Net Worth (Estimated): $2 Million

The super-evil Cassandra Nova of Marvel Comics fame will appear in Deadpool & Wolverine as a notorious and extremely powerful villain.

The role of Cassandra Nova will be played by none other than highly talented actress Emma Corrin, who appeared as Princess Diana in The Crown, and won a Golden Globe for her brilliant performance.

In the comics, Cassandra Nova was the stillborn sister of Charles Xavier (the leader of the franchise's mutants), but she regenerated herself.

Fans were excited to discover that Cassandra Nova would serve as the main antagonist, as she is likely the most powerful mutant in the comics' universe.

Corrin's Nova has abilities including telepathy, DNA duplication, cell regeneration, telekinesis, mind and body exchange, soul gathering, cosmic fire, inferno control, and others.

It’s interesting to speculate as to how two superheroes (Wolverine and Deadpool) might cope with this mighty villain.

Emmy-nominated Corrin has appeared in twelve projects, and her biggest movies and series include Lady Chatterley's Lover, The Crown, My Policeman, and A Murder At The End Of The World, a mini-series.

As of early 2024, Emma Corrin’s net worth is estimated at around $2 million, and it will surely increase in 2024.

Corrin is currently working on the horror/vampire film Nosferatu; she will play a scammer in Peaches, and, of course, Cassandra Nova in Deadpool & Wolverine.

7 Shioli Kutsuna

Shioli Kutsuna's Net Worth (Estimated): $2 Million

A Japanese martial artist, the smiling and affable Yukio from Deadpool 2, will appear in the third installment of Deadpool.

Yukio is the girlfriend of Negasonic Teenage Warhead in the films. Yukio is also a prominent X-Men character, but her role has evolved.

In the comics, she can predict the deaths of living things, but in the adapted to screen version, she can control and manipulate electricity.

Yukio is portrayed by Australian-born Japanese actress Shioli Kutsuna.

In 2008, Shioli Kutsuna started her career at the age of 16 in Japanese movies, and in just two years, she was awarded the 85th Kinema Junpo Award, for "Best Actress."

The Japanese actress landed a role in a Jared Leto movie, The Outsider, and right after that, she scored a role in Deadpool 2.

Because of her incredible talent, she started to get more frequent roles in Hollywood, such as in Murder Mystery and the Invasion series.

Apart from Deadpool & Wolverine, this year she will feature as the main lead in Eugene The Marine.

The star now has a massive 54 acting projects to her credit, and she is just 32 years old. As of early 2024, Shioli Kutsuna's net worth is estimated at around $2 million.

6 Matthew Macfayden

Matthew Macfadyen's Net Worth (Estimated): $5 Million

Mr. Paradox is introduced in the upcoming Deadpool film. He is a prominent Marvel character in the comic source material, and featured in the Marvel series Loki.

The Mr. Paradox character is a high authority (or judge) with the Time Variance Authority (TVA), and the presence of Mr. Paradox and Marvel's Time Variance Authority hint at how they will try to justify Wolverine's resurrection (much like that of Loki), as he died in Logan.

Matthew Macfayden, an experienced actor, will appear as Mr. Paradox in Deadpool & Wolverine.

Now 50, Matthew Macfayden started his acting journey with the television movie Wuthering Heights in 1998, but his main claim to fame is Jane Austen's novel-adapted movie Pride & Prejudice, in which he played the legendary role of Mr. Darcy.

There are many TV series and films on his acting resume, such as The Three Musketeers, Death At A Funeral, and Spooks — but now he is enjoying worldwide recognition due to his association with the blockbuster series Succession.

Macfayden has won two Screen Actors Guild (SAG) Awards, a Golden Globe, and a Primetime Emmy in the "Supporting Actor" category, for his portrayal of Tom Wambsgans in Succession.

After this role, many doors opened for him, and now he is working on the Death By Lightning series, the thriller movie Holland, Michigan, and the most anticipated movie of the year, Deadpool & Wolverine.

Matthew Macfayden's net worth is estimated at around $5 million, but now he is at the peak of his career, and is likely to rake in more money.

5 Morena Baccarin

Morena Baccarin's Net Worth (Estimated): $8 Million

In Deadpool, the character of Vanessa was the fiancée of Wade Wilson, and Vanessa famously died in Deadpool 2.

The death of Baccarin's Vanessa in Deadpool 2 proved controversial, prompting debate over a film trope known as "fridging" — when a hero's love interest is harmed or killed in order to advance the male lead's storyline.

Surprisingly, Morena Baccarin is back again in Deadpool 3, with Vanessa seemingly alive (or freed from the fridge). Deadpool & Wolverine is a movie that seems intent on bringing characters back from the dead — first Wolverine, and then Vanessa.

Baccarin is a veteran actress who has been serving the film industry for 23 years. In 2001, she started her acting career with Perfume.

There are many masterpieces in her career to date, such as Serenity, V,Greenland, Homeland, In Treatment,Gotham, the iconic series Firefly, and the Deadpool franchise.

Currently, Baccarin is busy working on five substantive projects, including Deadpool & Wolverine, Greenland: Migration, Tropic, Beast, and Elevation.

As of 2024, Morena Baccarin's net worth stands at an estimated $8 million.

4 Patrick Stewart

Patrick Stewart's Net Worth (Estimated): $75 Million

Most superhero film fans recognize Patrick Stewart as Xavier Charles or Professor X, the X-Men founder, and the leader for every mutant.

Xavier is a super-strong mutant who can read and manipulate the mind of any person in the world.

In Deadpool & Wolverine, his sister Cassandra Nova (who hates him) will be the antagonist, so it's a given that Professor X will also be there.

X is the main protagonist of every modern mutant movie in which he is featured.

Patrick Stewart, 83, started his career 50 years ago in the series Story Parade. In the five decades of his career, he has evidenced his acting skills in an astounding 159 projects.

Apart from Xavier Charles in X-Men, Stewart is the beloved Jean-Luc Picard of Star Trek — and has been performing in that role for more than three decades, longer than castmates like Hildebrand and Kutsuna have been alive, much less acting.

Four-time Emmy nominee Patrick Stewart's net worth is estimated at $75 million, and his fortune is the result of his 50-year 50-year-long acting, producing, and writing endeavors.

3 Jennifer Garner

Jennifer Garner's Net Worth (Estimated): $80 Million

Elektra's powers are her martial arts skills, agility, and strength.

In 2003, Jennifer Garner portrayed Elektra in Daredevil, and in 2005, she starred in her own superhero movie, as the titular Marvel character in Elektra.

Elektra didn't achieve success at the box office, earning only $57 million, and this was thought to be the last time the gorgeous Garner would play the role of Elektra.

Now, Deadpool & Wolverine director Shawn Levy has decided to revive some "deep cut" Marvel characters (like Pyro and Elektra) to entice movie fans with nostalgia.

Golden Globe winner Jennifer Garner is now 51, and has been starring in movies and series for 29 years, starting her career in the TV movie Zoya in 1995.

There are many gems in her career, such as Marvel's Daredevil, the Alias series (for which she won a Golden Globe), the Oscar-nominated (for "Best Picture") Dallas Buyers Club, the must-watch Miracle From Heaven, the People's Choice Awards-nominated movie Love, Simon, and too many more to list.

Having appeared in over 70 movies, Jennifer Garner's net worth is estimated at $80 million, due to her acting and her organic baby food brand, Once Upon A Farm.

2 Hugh Jackman

Hugh Jackman's Net Worth (Estimated): $100 Million

When someone mentions Wolverine, the fierce face of Hugh Jackman (with steel claws erupting from his knuckles) instantly comes to mind.

Wolverine, with his animal-like senses, strong healing powers, and intense anger, could unsettle any of his opponents. Deadpool has long been enamored with Wolverine, and finally got the chance to work with him.

Jackman has been playing Wolverine since the 2000s' X-Men, and he has appeared in nine X-Men movies (out of a total of 13 X-Men movies in the franchise).

A Golden Globe winner, Jackman is a bona fide superstar. Many outstanding projects in his career make him great; some include Van Helsing, The Prestige, Les Misérables, and Chappie.

As of early 2024, Hugh Jackman's net worth is estimated at a massive $100 million, due to his acting, endorsements, and coffee brand and café business.

1 Ryan Reynolds

Ryan Reynolds' Net Worth (Estimated): $350 Million

Deadpool's main skill is to humiliate anyone with his incisive words; he didn't spare anyone in the previous Deadpool movies, and he will not in the upcoming Deadpool & Wolverine.

Other abilities associated with Wade Wilson/Deadpool are skilled fighting, and his complicated ability to heal from almost anything.

Deadpool is so sardonic and profane that Marvel had to release Once Upon A Time Deadpool, a toned-down version of Deadpool 2 for kids.

Deadpool hero Ryan Reynolds is everywhere in Hollywood; he is appearing in one hit movie after another, and solidifying his status as a legend in entertainment.

All of his recent projects, like The Hitman's Bodyguard, The Hitman's Wife's Bodyguard, Free Guy, Red Notice, and The Adam Project are worth watching.

The richest actor in the Deadpool & Wolverine cast, Ryan Reynolds's net worth is estimated at a stunning $350 million.

A Golden Globe "Best Actor" nominee for Deadpool, Reynolds has eleven massive upcoming projects, ten of which include a producer credit — meaning he will get a share of the huge studio profits, and rake in serious money.

Reynolds' upcoming projects are the Pokémon Detective Pikachu sequel, Dragon's Lair: The Movie, Calamity Hustle, Boy Band, Red Notice 2, Animal Friends, Clue, Everyday Parenting Tips, Futha Mucka, and IF.

Ryan Reynolds is a consistently in-demand actor, and there is no doubt he will multiply his net worth, not just add to it.

Brolin was part of Deadpool 2, in his unforgettable role as Cable. Additional rumors hold that Wilson will feature in his fan-favorite role, Mobius M. Mobius from Loki.

If the rumors are accurate, these two superstars are a welcome addition to the already star-studded and wealthy cast of Deadpool & Wolverine.
