Cast and characters
- Ed Skrein as Francis Freeman / Ajax: A Weapon X enforcer turned rogue operative, Ajax resurfaces years after his defeat, consumed by a need to reclaim control over his pain-free existence and settle his unfinished business with Deadpool.
- Ryan Reynolds as Wade Wilson / Deadpool: Still unkillable, still unhinged. Wade’s chaotic antics mask unresolved trauma and a complicated obsession with Ajax, whom he goads into a rematch using equal parts trolling, violence, and psychological warfare.
- Tanner Buchanan as Tim Drake: Reprising his role from Impulse, Tim monitors Deadpool’s escalating violence, acting as the only grounded figure trying — and failing — to stop the inevitable.
- Dichen Lachman as Ren: A black-market mutant information broker who becomes collateral damage in the crossfire, targeted by both Ajax and Deadpool for her knowledge of buried Weapon X files.
- Milo Ventimiglia as Swift: A former hacker for post-Weapon X factions, Swift holds key intel on Deadpool’s last movements, making him Ajax’s first target in his global manhunt.
- Dylan O'Brien as Velocity (hallucination only): A ghostly manifestation of Wade in Ajax’s mind — cocky, cruel, and untethered from reality — representing the version of himself Ajax refuses to become.
- CCH Pounder as Dr. Hadley: A retired Weapon X neurologist Ajax seeks out for answers about his returning sensations, who instead forces him to confront that his numbness was never emotional immunity — just fear in disguise.
