The X-Men The film franchise is widely regarded as the beginning of the early ’00s superhero film boom with its more grounded approach to portraying larger-than-life characters from the comics. As 20th Century Fox’s movie franchise grew, so did the rest of Hollywood’s interest in adapting more obscure comic book properties to the big screen. Today, it’s nearly impossible to watch a movie or television series adapted from a comic without seeing a fresh face or new character that a casual audience will suddenly discover for the first time.
The character of Deadpool was introduced in the X-Men movie series with X-Men Origins: Wolverine, played by Ryan Reynolds. While the casting was considered perfect, his on-screen portrayal was reviled at the time for straying too far from the source material by infamously silencing the Merc with the mouth. Reynolds would eventually get his way with 2016’s deadpool, which not only did the character justice, but also proved that an R-rated superhero movie could be successful. It was followed by the sequel, Deadpool 2who introduced other obscure characters such as Cable, Domino, Bedlam, Zeitgest, and Shatterstar, and featuring Deadpool 3 Moving forward at Marvel Studios, one of these recent heroes wants a chance to return.
After the announcement that Hugh Jackman would return as Wolverine in Deadpool 3actor Lewis Tan responded with a strange message on his Twitter account. Tan portrayed Shatterstar in Deadpool 2, an alien from Mojoworld who is well versed in martial arts and carried a twin katana to fight. He was introduced along with a few other minor superheroes, but was soon killed for a joke. Despite his death, Tan seems to suggest that the public has not seen the last of his short-lived character.

Lewis Tan has a long history of trying to break into big budget properties on film and television. Long ago, he auditioned for the role of Iron Fist in the television series of the same name, but lost the role to Finn Jones. He did manage to land a guest spot in one episode as drunken fighter Zhou Cheng.

The introduction of the multiverse would be an obvious solution, although the X-Men movies have also offered other solutions to bring back characters from the dead.
