Rumors circulated about Kai Cenat as Agent X and Keenan Clarke as Kang joining the cast of Deadpool & Wolverine. The film’s creators actively sought to conceal surprise cameos from the public before its release. However, misleading leaks led many to believe these new MCU debuts were accurate. When the movie premiered, it became clear that these rumors were unfounded and had simply spread online.
Here’s everything you need to know about Agent X and Kang’s rumors and if the MCU had ever planned their cameos.
Does Kai Cenat play Agent X in Deadpool & Wolverine?
No, Kai Cenat does not appear as Agent X in Deadpool & Wolverine.
Previously, there were rumors about popular American streamer Kai Cenat making his MCU debut in Deadpool & Wolverine, portraying Agent X. However, these rumors turned out to be false, as the multiversal narrative did not feature Agent X.
In the Marvel comics, Agent X first appeared in the September 2002 issue of Gail Simone and UDON’s Agent X #1. His abilities include superhuman strength, healing, and telepathic abilities. Moreover, he was also recruited by Black Swan, a telepathic German assassin. He wanted to seek revenge on Deadpool, as he believed him to be the cause of his brother’s death.
Deadpool & Wolverine focuses on different villains but, for future films, Agent X and Black Swan’s stories remain good material. However, incorporating their cameos into the story of Deadpool & Wolverine would have likely just confused fans. This is because the two characters haven’t been officially introduced in the MCU yet.
Does Keenan Clarke appear as Kang in Deadpool & Wolverine?
No, Keenan Clarke does not appear as the new Kang the Conqueror in Deadpool & Wolverine.
The rumors about Clarke’s casting started when Market Insider reported in a now-deleted article that he would appear in the threequel. These fake reports surfaced from a PR agency called Z News Service that disclosed Clarke’s role as the new Kang the Conqueror. However, the rumors were debunked by Dexerto, who deemed it to be a guerilla marketing stunt.
