How Deadpool 2 Breaks The X-Men Movie Timeline AGAIN

3. What's The Complication

Well, it's all for the sake of a GREAT Easter Egg/group of cameos for the sequence when Deadpool heads to the X-Mansion. He complains at the studio low-balling the Deadpool franchise by not giving them access to any of the premium mutants from the X-Men films - including the one with the "pigeon wings" (Angel).

As a great little pay-off to that scene, we get to see into one of the classrooms in the Mansion, where James McAvoy's Professor X, Evan Peters' Quicksilver, Tye Sheridan's Cyclops and Nicholas Hoult's Beast can be seen having a meeting. Beast closes the door and Deadpool doesn't see them, but continues his rant unabated.

It's brilliantly funny, but it makes no sense. Putting aside the fact that none of the characters have aged a day since the 60s (aside from Xavier's bald head), the characters appear to be wearing their 1990s costumes. And on top of that, by the modern day, Xavier should look like Patrick Stewart, not McAvoy. So what gives?

Something is definitely up, but it might be because this isn't the right universe at all? But then again, the time travelling ending might mess everything up again anyway.
