Rob Delaney To Return As Human X-Force Member Peter In Deadpool 3

Deadline is reporting that Rob Delaney has signed a deal to return for Deadpool 3 to reprise his character of Peter.

Delaney’s character Peter joins Deadpool and Weasel (T.J. Miller) as part of their mutant-heavy new team X-Force in Deadpool 2, despite the fact that he’s a run-of-the-mill human with no powers or special skills to speak of. His agenda in the second film is to aid Deadpool in the rescue of young mutant Russell Collins aka Firefist (Julian Dennison) from the “Mutant Re-education Center” where he’s been abused.

Delaney joins Ryan Reynolds, Hugh Jackman, Karan Soni, Leslie Uggams, Morena Baccarin, and Stefan Kapicic, who respectively portray Deadpool’s cab driver sidekick Dopinder, his roommate Blind Al, his fiancée Vanessa — who in the sequel was killed and then revived — and the metallic mutant Colossus. Newcomers include Emma Corrin and Matthew Macfadyen.

Deadpool 3 is being directed by Shawn Levy with Paul Wernick & Rhett Reese returning to pen the script. Marvel Studios president Kevin Feige will join Reynolds and Levy as producers.
