Marvel villain Omega Red is long overdue for a big-screen appearance. As you know, several X-Men movies and three solo Wolverine movies have been made, but this villain has never been included.
According to recent reports, Omega Red missed another opportunity with 2018’s Deadpool 2. But with the Blu-ray version on the way, there have been hints that he might make an appearance, after all.

Even with all the other bonus features, the Omega Red item might be the most interesting. We’re also assuming that one of the special features focuses on Peter.
Juggernaut received quite a bit of attention in Deadpool 2 - certainly more than in X-Men: The Last Stand. But where was Omega Red? He should have been featured, even if just in a brief cameo to indicate that he does exist in the X-Men universe.
