- How Deadpool could join Marvel
- Will Spider-Man 3 ‘be Deadpool’s introduction to the MCU?
- ‘Avengers: Endgame’ makes it very difficult to see Wade Wilson in the MCU.
While the Marvel Cinematic Universe may be known for its familiar demeanor and white image, as befits the Disney branding, there is a change on the horizon as Deadpool is set to (eventually) team up with the mightiest heroes in the world. Land. After both of his R-rated films dominated the box office, Deadpool has officially fallen under the reins of Mickey Mouse.
As fans wait patiently for Ryan Reynolds to return to the role of Wade Wilson, one fan theory pointed out how David Leitch’s ‘Deadpool 2’ actually makes the mercenary breaking the fourth wall incompatible with the MCU. Ironically, it boils down to Joe and Anthony Russo’s intricate ‘Avengers: Endgame’ story.
Published in Reddit, el fan de MCU u / Joonicks highlighted the moment in ‘Deadpool 2’ when the titular antihero and Josh Brolin’s Cable managed to change the past. The movie is set as Cable tries to kill Russell Collins (Julian Dennison) before he grows up to become the villain Firefist and kill Cable’s family.

When Cable arrives on the scene, he is equipped with his cybernetic arm, a heavy arsenal of weapons, and a burned-out teddy bear that belonged to his deceased daughter. Deadpool manages to successfully reform Russell before he becomes the great evil of Cable’s apocalyptic future. The movie ends with Cable’s future being altered and the burned bear returning to normal.
And that? It is in direct contradiction to the explicit rules of time travel in ‘Endgame’. In one of the most in-depth scenes on the film, Tilda Swinton’s character explains to Bruce Banner how time travel creates an alternate timeline instead of affecting the future. According to ‘Endgame’, the ‘Deadpool 2’ time travel hack is in direct contradiction to the MCU.

Joonicks writes, “Such effects were explicitly rejected in ‘Avengers: Endgame.’ So Deadpool exists in a different reality with different natural laws, not just a different timeline.”
It’s no secret that ‘Endgame’ played boldly with time travel. Despite poking fun at the flaws of ‘Back to the Future’, the MCU’s 21st movie got cornered with its own time travel paradoxes. Even the Russos don’t seem to agree with writers Christopher Markus and Stephen McFeely on how the movie’s complex time travel rules actually work.
‘Deadpool 2’ works in the same vein as ‘Back to the Future’ and laughs at the idea that Marty McFly’s photography changes due to his meddling in the past. Of course, the ‘Deadpool 2’ problem can be easily explained in ‘Deadpool 3’: Wade Wilson is known for his many nods to the audience, which means that a simple line of tongue-in-cheek dialogue could rectify the situation.

Despite the almost universal high regard for ‘Avengers: Endgame’, critics have made no secret of the sometimes confusing laws of time travel. It seems that Captain America’s last minute decision to stay in the past could have some dire consequences and potentially set the Marvel Multiverse in motion. Although some may find it frustrating, the whole idea of the Multiverse would also make a good introduction to Deadpool.
Like his comic book counterpart, Deadpool is known for his cartoonish antics compared to the rest of the MCU. Aside from the R-rated nature of the franchise in general, the entire Wilson dynamic is very different from the generally serious MCU.
In both of his films, Deadpool has frequently poked fun at the absence of the X-Men, leading to the memorable ‘Deadpool 2’ cameo from the ‘X-Men: Dark Phoenix’ cast. If ‘Deadpool 3’ decides to tackle the time travel conundrum, it could easily do so with one of the character’s many meta-comments. In another scenario, ‘Deadpool 3’ will likely have to explain why Cable looks a lot like Thanos as well …
With fans eagerly awaiting the arrival of Fox properties like The Fantastic Four and the X-Men, it seems increasingly likely that Reynolds’ portrayal of Deadpool is the sole survivor of the Disney merger. As ‘Deadpool 3’ continues to unfold, fans will likely not see it on their screens again for quite some time.
Kevin Feige has already downplayed the arrival of the X-Men before 2025, which means we’ll probably have forgotten the time travel issues of ‘Deadpool 2’ by the time Reynolds dons his spandex once again.
