11 Most Exciting Deadpool Movie Rumours

There has been some talk that Deadpool will actually reappear in the X-Universe a matter of months after his stand-alone film is released, when X-Men: Apocalypse explodes into cinemas in 2016. Because of the huge impact of Apocalypse's presence in the universe, all mutants will be affected, which likely means some sort of cameo for Wade.

Even beyond that, there are some suggestions that Apocalypse might actually make his bow in Deadpool. That would certainly fit with Simon Kinberg's conscious admission that Fox are adopting Marvel's "tapestry" approach to building a unified narrative, even if it's limited to a Thanos-like post-credits cameo.

Could it turn out that Ajax - the expected antagonist of Deadpool - ends up becoming aligned with Apocalypse? It's well-known that he's recruiting.
