THR’s report also comes on the heels of rumors that Ben Affleck himself would be returning as Daredevil for the movie, as well as rumors earlier this spring that James Marsden, Famke Janssen, and Halle Barry would return as Cyclops, Jean Grey, and Storm, respectively. These rumors are strictly that–rumors–but Garner’s return seems to lend some credence to them potentially being true.

    It would be funny to bring them back as actors… “Jennifer! I love you! You made X-Men Origins: Wolverine look good! Thank you so much!”

    Affleck is really running his paces in the multiverse lately, huh?

    It seems clear that this DP will be a send-up of the recent multiverse insanity, using it to go places that for some goddamned reason no other property wants to - even though none of them have established a good reason why consequences matter if there are an infinite number of everything and everyone.

      why consequences matter if there are an infinite number of everything and everyone.

      Because, even if there are infinite versions of me, The only me’s death I care about is my own.

        Well that’s fine for you, but what about when other peoples’ lives are at stake? Why bother saving someone when you know there’s an equally weighted universe where you fail anyway, and vise versa? There are good philosophical answers to these questions, and I’d like to see multiverse stories grapple with them, now that the novelty of seeing all the actors who played a given role has started to wear a little thin.

          I see no difference in the question being asked if the people are in this universe, a different one or multiple.

          Are the lives of others worth more than yours? Is the same in both cases.

      It’s hard for me to see her as Electra after the Netflix series. I never really took her that seriously in the role in the first place BUT it being Deadpool I’m sure they’ll do something entertaining with it.
