10 Movie & TV Spoilers We Didn’t Know Last Week (7th Oct)

2. The Deadpool Movie Is Going To Be A Part Of The X-Men Shared Universe

Huh? Did anybody else see this one coming? According to recent reports, then, once again from Mr. Simon Kinberg, the upcoming Deadpool movie is going to be merged into that of the X-Men Universe, presumably so Wolverine and Deadpool can get on board the banter train, exchanging sardonic comments and generally being d*ckish to one another for the sake of our entertainment. Here's what Kinberg said on the matter:

"There€™s definitely a sort of overall plan that we€™ve all been talking about for the X-Men universe now, and Deadpool obviously fits into that. "I guess I would say it's part of certainly an overall timeline and thought process that goes into these films, some of which is inspired by the comics and some which is inspired by seeing what Marvel€™s done with telling a larger tapestry and linking all those movies together, even as they stand independently, as well. The same kind of thought is going to go into these X-Men movies at Fox.€

This certainly makes for an interesting and somewhat unexpected development, given that so far only the X-Men movies exist in the X-Men Universe. Introducing a new character presents Fox with the opportunity to introduce even more characters at a later date. Will these expanded universes never cease to stop? There are way too many to keep track of now (okay, there are four, we think, which isn't that many, but it's a tad confusing, no?).
