Ed Skrein’s potential return in Deadpool 3
Playing the character of Ajax, who was killed off in the first dead Pool Wade Wilson’s film after learning that the cure Deadpool was looking for doesn’t really exist, Ed Skrein’s character has good reason to find himself in other installments of the franchise. Ajax has often returned from the dead in Marvel comics with the vendetta of killing the smart-mouthed antihero.
Ryan Reynolds’ debut as a character X-Men Origins: Wolverine was not well received by the public because Fox had then decided to cut the sound of the character known for his jokes. Even after that, the first dead Pool the film faced multiple issues and delays due to its need to be rated R.

Ed Skrein’s vision for Ajax in Deadpool
With Ed Skrein wanting to return to the role, he has his own take on how, if Ajax were to return, his comically accurate return would be. The two rivals frequently assassinate each other in Marvel comics, so there is precedent for the character’s reappearance, despite Wade comically shooting Ajax in the head during Colossus’ Mercy Conference towards the end. End of Deadpool. Skrein suggests Ajax could return with the comic book outfit that wasn’t in the movie.

Regarding the circumstances of his return, given that he was killed by Deadpool, it would make sense for Ajax to make a second appearance in order to exact revenge on the anti-hero. He could also be driven by his desire to track down and execute all of the remaining members of the Weapon X Project, as shown in the comics. Skrein claims he would reprise the role, but the potential return seems unlikely at this time.
Ed Skrein could also perhaps find another role within the MCU. Much like Josh Brolin, Gemma Chan, and Michelle Yeoh, Skrein could also be part of multiple MCU storylines. Brolin played Cable in Deadpool 2 and Thanos in the MCU. Gemma Chan played Doctor Minerva in Captain Marvel then took the lead as Circe in Eternals. Michelle Yeoh played Aleta Ogord in Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 and Ying Nan in Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings. So seeing Ed Skrein in another role might not be that hard.
