Aaron Stanford Confirms Pyro's Return in Deadpool & Wolverine Tied to X2
This story contains spoilers for Deadpool & Wolverine.
Deadpool & Wolverine brought back several familiar faces to the MCU. While the existence of variants tends to complicate things, Aaron Stanford recently confirmed that Pyro is the same exact character that appeared in the original X-Men movies.
Speaking to ComicBook, Stanford explained his approach to playing Pyro again after so many years. "I just took it as a continuation but again, with an adjustment for tone," he said. "Basically, what I did was reach back and think this was the Pyro from X-Men 2. The idea behind that character was that he was a young, disaffected, and outcast kid who becomes radicalized. He becomes a radicalized terrorist and we see that journey. I took that interesting, complete portrait and then adjusted it for the Deadpool universe and the given circumstances of that world."
