LEWIS TAN is Deadpool 2s Bisexual superhero Shatterstar

May 2024 · 4 minute read

In a post on Instagram, Iron Fist actor Lewis Tan posted a photo from the Deadpool 2 trailer with the caption “The gang is all here. Recognize someone?”, confirming his involvement in the upcoming film. The photo sees Ryan Reynolds’ Deadpool leading the X-Force into battle.

While the actor doesn’t name his character, it’s a safe bet that he will play Shatterstar. Following the release of the teaser trailer, actor Stefan Kapičić — who plays Colossus in the Deadpool films — confirmed the character’s inclusion. “That’s not CGI of Terry Crews, that is Terry Crews. You can see it clearly. You can see behind him, Shatterstar, a really cool thing for people to geek out,” he revealed. That would make the character over Deadpool’s left shoulder Shatterstar, and therefore Tan. After all, we now know the mysterious actor behind Domino is none other than It actor Bill Skarsgård.

In Netflix’s Iron Fist, Tan had a minor role as Zhou Cheng and appeared in only one episode. After the series premiere, the actor revealed that he actually went in for the titular role. While he didn’t land the role of Danny, he has since managed to land an even bigger Marvel role, one that could see him join his fellow X-Force members in the forthcoming team-up film from Drew Goddard.

Will Marvel depict him as bi in its movies?

Not likely, marvel has removed queer characters gayness at the last minute, the rock monster from thor ragnarok was supposed to be bi and, the Valkarie was also supposed to be bi and the black women warriors from black panther was also supposedly bi and they cut that out. They brag about it before the films release for publicity then cut it out.

Isn't Deadpool himself also bi? Will he flirt with Shatterstar?

Wasn't Deadpool himself supposed to be bisexual? Are they really doing this, making a minor character bisexual, instead of the main one, thinking we will be ok with it? LOL. Like we will just "forget" the straightwashing of the main character? Nope, sorry, that shit won't fly with me.

DEAdpool is bi fluid in the comics, but he only seemed to use the possibility of him being fluid as a joke in the movie. Most people saw his references to dudes as just a joke.

Oh, you are going to be so frustrated when you discover that the bisexuality will be restricted to the characters jokes, guys!

No, seriously, you are reeeeeally dreaming!

Bisexual?

As a stepping stone to being able to handle a full-blown gay?

Does the rock monster identify as bi or "sexually fluid"?

WHy doesn’t GLAAD hold Marvel’s feet to the fire about its treatment of lgbt characters?

by Anonymousreply 27March 30, 2018 9:34 PM

"Hello is that the head of Marvel? Oh, hi, this is Jacintha. My preferred pronouns are "they" and I'm the Chairthing of GLAAD. Can you tell me if the rock monster in your upcoming film LORD MUSCLE IN A FETCHING LEOTARD is going to have sex with anyone or is his, her or they're bisexuality just a token gesture? Be aware, before you answer, think carefully, as I have Ellen Degeneres waiting on the other line..."
