10 MCU Leaks That Just Might Be True
Some people thought the MCU was finished after Endgame. In reality, it's just getting started.
The internet is no stranger to people voicing their concerns. Some "concerns" are just borderline stupidity, like, "The PC agenda will kill Marvel!". Other concerns, however, are more valid, like, "Will the absence of Iron Man and Captain America diminish the draw of the MCU?"
Sitting somewhere between stupid and reasonable is this line: "After Endgame, there's really not much to look forward to."
On one hand, that sentence makes sense. Marvel had been building up to Endgame for a decade, and therefore, a decade's worth of themes, storylines, and character arcs reached their inevitable crescendo. With that gone, something is missing.
On the other hand, Marvel hasn't even gotten close to running its well dry. Endgame was an event. Sure, it was an event that audiences had been looking forward to for ten years, but at the end of the day, it was just an event. There are more events that the MCU can - and will - build up to, and there are new, exciting, iconic characters yet to be introduced.
According to leaker Roger Wardell, there are some very exciting things in the pipe. He's accurately leaked some VERY specific Endgame information on his Twitter, @RogerWardell, which went dark in June 2019. A new Twitter page, @WardellRoger, has recently started leaking more info, none of which has been verified yet. Full disclosure: the second account could very well be a copycat, so this list will specify the source of each entry.
10. New Deadpool Films WON'T Be In The MCU
According to Wardell's verified Twitter account, Deadpool will not be interacting with the other heroes of the MCU, at least in any meaningful way. Instead, he'll appear in his own relatively self-contained corner of the universe, just like his situation in Fox's X-Men franchise.
Everyone should have expected this. At the end of the day, Marvel is -- like it or not -- an arm of Disney. Disney has a brand, and that brand is family-friendly. That's not to say Disney hasn't released R-rated films in the past. They have, but they've released them through subsidiaries like Miramax and Dimension. Some of Disney's more adult properties include Pulp Fiction, Kill Bill, Sin City, Scream, and Trainspotting. With that in mind, Deadpool getting an R-rated movie under Disney seems likely (given the success of his Fox films), but don't expect an MCU crossover.
Yes, Deadpool is a Marvel hero, but he's an R-rated Marvel hero. That leaves us three options. A) Deadpool would have to compromise his R-rated nature to appear in a PG-13 film, B) the MCU would have to compromise it's PG-13 tone to accommodate Deadpool, or C) there will be no crossover.
Be honest. Which one do you HONESTLY think will happen?
