Deadpool & Wolverine Cast: Juggernaut, Azazel & All Other Recast Characters

by

As a die-hard fan of the X-Men franchise who has seen every film multiple times and can recite lines from them word for word, I must say that the recasting of some mutants in Deadpool & Wolverine was a bit jarring at first. However, after seeing Aaron Reed’s performance as Juggernaut, I have to admit that he brought a new level of menace and nuance to the character that was missing before.

In the latest Deadpool & Wolverine movie, not only the main characters but also various mutants seen in previous X-Men films, such as Juggernaut and Azazel, made a comeback. Interestingly, some of these mutants were portrayed by different actors this time around. Can you guess who took on the roles of Juggernait and Azazel?

Here are all the recast mutants in Deadpool & Wolverine’s cast.
