I had a great time keeping it secret : Deadpool & Wolverine s surprise cameo star learned how to lie from the master Andrew Garfield

Get the Full StoryGuys, I have a confession to make. Previously, I argued that Taylor Swift was the Andrew Garfield of Deadpool & Wolverine in other words, the guest star in a Marvel movie who we re vehemently told isn t in the thing until we discover that they are. The jury s still out on whether T-Swizzle does actually appear in the threequel, but ahead of its release, we ve learned that another cameo star is the true inheritor to Andrew s crown.

The final trailer for Deadpool 3 has released and, of course, it finds time to squeeze in just one more jaw-dropping cameo. Some may complain that we got so close to the film s release without this leaking and yet Marvel couldn t keep it a secret a week longer, but hey, it s still thrilling that this long-awaited return to the Marvel multiverse is officially happening especially as this person has hidden their involvement so well before now.

Deadpool & Wolverine s best-kept secret cameo comes clean on their surprise role

Yes, the surprise cameo star is none other than Dafne Keen, aka X-23 from Hugh Jackman s last X-Men outing, Logan. It s still unclear exactly how much the His Dark Materials actress will be part of the movie, but at least we know Laura Kinney definitely gets to reunite with her adamantium-laced dad to some degree.

With the cat or wolverine out of the bag, Keen came clean to Entertainment Weekly about how much she s been entertaining herself throughout The Acolyte press tour in deflecting any questions about Deadpool & Wolverine and straight-up lying about her appearance.

I had a great time keeping it secret. I had to do a bunch of press for a job that I just finished, Keen admitted, referring to her turn as Jedi Jecki in the recent Star Wars Disney Plus series. I got asked in every interview, and I just got to lie, which was really funny.

Of course, the king of keeping Marvel s spoilers under wraps is the aforementioned Andrew Garfield, and Keen made sure to stress that she was fully inspired by the Amazing Spider-Man icon s peerless fibbing in the run-up to his return in Spider-Man: No Way Home in 2021. All the inspo comes from Andrew Garfield, Keen said. He is the master at this.

Ah, but now, to quote from Keen s other franchise, the student has become the master.
