Ever since it dropped at the 2024 Super Bowl, Marvel fans have been pulling apart the action-packed and equally hilarious Deadpool 3 trailer, trying to uncover more about the upcoming movie. And one fan has spotted a possible cameo from everyone’s favorite X-Men leader.
Although we only see the back of an unknown bald head for less than a second, the fan is sure it belongs to Charles Xavier. The screenshot, posted on Reddit, shows what seems to be a man sitting on a chair of sorts looking out onto a cityscape.

"Nope, it's his twin sister, Cassandra Nova played by Emma Corrin," said one Reddit user. Since Corrin’s character is still unnamed, she may take on the role of Nova – who, like her brother Xavier, is also bald.
Further down the chain, MCU fans were having fun throwing in comical guesses of who the mysterious bald head might belong to. One said "Nosferatu", accounting for the pointed ears, whilst another added, "It’s Vin Diesel and he’s come for his family." Now, we can't say for sure, but something tells us that a Fast and Furious x Marvel mash-up is not on the horizon. One user threw a total spanner in the works with "Lex Luthor.@ A DCU villain appearing in the MCU? Now that's something we would like to see.
