10 Theories For How Deadpool Could Join MCU
Ryan Reynolds' Merc with the Mouth IS coming to the MCU, but how is it going to happen?
Thanks to the Disney/Fox merger, a whole host of new characters are coming to the Marvel Cinematic Universe, including the X-Men and Fantastic Four. There are a myriad of ways those characters could be added to this shared world, but as of right now, a lot of fans out there are just desperate to see how Marvel Studios plans on making use of Ryan Reynolds' R-Rated Merc with the Mouth, Deadpool.
The character's adventures haven't exactly been family friendly, and it's not easy to imagine how Deadpool is going to fit into a series of franchises which are PG-13...and in a world which which boasts a very different tone and feel to the one Fox established with its now defunct "X-Men Universe."
It is happening, though, and Reynolds has even shared a photo of him visiting Marvel Studios, a clear sign he's met with Kevin Feige to discuss the beloved character's future. There's no way he'll be left on the shelf for long, especially after the two Deadpool movies broke box office records, and it's now just a case of figuring out how he can possibly become part of the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
With that in mind, this feature rounds up the most compelling, crazy, and likely theories for how Deadpool can join the likes of The Avengers, Spider-Man, and his fellow X-Men on the big screen...
10. Cable's Time-Travel Device Is From The Ruins Of The New Avengers Compound
In Deadpool 2, Cable managed to travel back in time to the present day where he clashed with Wade Wilson after attempting to ensure the desolate future he hails from never comes to pass. The sequel never really delved into how he managed to master time-travel, so that gives Marvel Studios the opportunity to tie both that character and Deadpool into the MCU.
Kevin Feige no doubt wants to work with Josh Brolin again after the work he did playing Thanos in the Avengers movies, and it could be explained that Cable utilised one of the time-travel devices once used by Earth's Mightiest Heroes in 2024 after recovering it from the ruins of the New Avengers Compound.
This would actually make sense in a lot of ways, playing into the idea of a Marvel Multiverse and merging timelines in a way that means the Deadpool franchise is seemingly added to Marvel Studios' shared world. It ultimately depends how in-depth Feige and company wants to go with this, but this one simple way of tying Avengers: Endgame to Deadpool 2 would help effortlessly combine worlds.
