7 Ways Deadpool 2 Sets Up Future Sequels
1. Spin-Offs And Potential Crossovers
Apart from the potential Deadpool 3: Timesplitters Rewind in the foreseeable future as well as the probably X Force set up that is The New Mutants, there's plenty more films to come out that slot neatly into the Deadpool extended universe. Or rather, that the Deadpool extended universe slots neatly into.
Dark Phoenix, the tale of teenage Jean Gray, is set for a February release next year - which will hopefully bring even more likelihood of crossovers with Gray and Cyclops set to unite. Whilst X Men might be a bit too serious to repay the favour to the red-suited embodiment of sarcasm, it’ll still be good fun to watch a world of mutants that Deadpool can righteously f*ck with spring up.
Aside from the confirmed releases, The Channing Tatum led Gambit is still in development, as well as mentions of a follow up to 2017's Logan in the form of Laura's own movie, which knowing Deadpool will provide plenty of comedic fodder for the anti-hero to work through by the time he's next on screen.
The Merc with a Mouth is here to stay, and has repeatedly proven his worth as a refreshing take on the Marvel formula. With a troupe of angsty superheroes and a staple R rating slapped on his forehead, there’s plenty to look forward to in the future of Deadpool’s explosive universe - we’ve just got to wait patiently whilst it grows some legs under it.
