We asked the MCU actors if they’d return"},"content":{"rendered":"

Seemingly everyone from the history of Marvel movies will be returning to the big screen soon, if not for Avengers: Doomsday<\/a>, then certainly for next year\u2019s Avengers: Secret Wars<\/a>. Avengers OG\u2019s Robert Downey Jr.<\/a> and Chris Evans<\/a> are confirmed to be back, as are Patrick Stewart and Ian McKellen<\/a> from the Fox-era X-Men films. Plus, rumors<\/a> have run rampant<\/a> about literally anyone else who\u2019s appeared in a Marvel movie.<\/p>\n

Which is why, while doing interviews about Gore Verbinski\u2019s new sci-fi comedy Good Luck, Have Fun, Don\u2019t Die, I asked stars Michael Pe\u00f1a and Zazie Beetz if they might ever return for their respective Marvel roles.<\/p>\n

\u201cNo idea\u201d is Pe\u00f1a\u2019s simple reply when asked if he\u2019ll ever return as Ant-Man\u2019s fast-talking friend Luis, which follows some recent rumors<\/a> that he\u2019s done for good with the role.<\/p>\n

Luis and Scott Lang (Paul Rudd) were established as cellmates in the first Ant-Man film, and when Scott was released from prison, Luis and he remained best friends. Even after Scott became Ant-Man, he was still tight with Luis, who aided with the plan to take down the villain Yellowjacket. In the 2018 Ant-Man sequel Ant-Man and the Wasp, Luis had gone straight as a security consultant in business with Scott. Even though his brown van, which housed the Quantum Tunnel used in Avengers: Endgame, has remained in the films, Luis hasn\u2019t been seen since Ant-Man and the Wasp. Last we knew, he was still in business with Scott, which made his absence from 2023\u2019s Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania especially conspicuous.<\/p>\n

As for Beetz, who played the lucky mutant Domino in Deadpool 2, she also says, \u201cNo idea,\u201d but adds that, \u201cIf someone writes a script then, sure. I love Domino and I would happily jump in again any time. She was a great joy to play.\u201d<\/p>\n

Despite a brief Easter egg in X-Men: Days of Future Past, Domino\u2019s sole appearance on film was in Deadpool 2 as a mutant mercenary that joins Deadpool\u2019s ill-fated team X-Force. Her mutant power is explained as being probability field manipulation, which basically makes her super lucky, a seemingly absurd power that appears to actually be true, especially after she becomes the only other surviving member of X-Force besides Deadpool. Domino also helped in the movie\u2019s final fight against Juggernaut, which appeared to line her up for an appearance in the next Deadpool film. Unfortunately she was absent from Deadpool & Wolverine, but there\u2019s still plenty of opportunity for her to return, if not in either of the upcoming Avengers movies, perhaps in Deadpool 4, which Ryan Reynolds is reportedly hard at work on<\/a>.<\/p>\n

So while our luck may indeed have run out for Luis\u2019 return, but hopefully Domino fans will prove a bit more fortunate.<\/p>\n

Good Luck, Have Fun, Don’t Die releases in theaters on Feb. 13<\/p>\n
