The film hints at a storyline where Deadpool (Ryan Reynolds) and Wolverine (Hugh Jackman) encounter Cassandra in a post-apocalyptic setting, navigating the wreckage of the X-Men universe.
Xavier’s extensive knowledge of mutantkind and his powerful telepathic abilities make him uniquely positioned to confront Cassandra Nova.
His return could involve aiding Deadpool and Wolverine in understanding and ultimately combating her formidable powers.
