As anyone who's paid attention to the exceptional Deadpool 2 marketing campaign would be able to attest, Ryan Reynolds' Deadpool is arguably one of the most valuable brands Disney have picked up in this Fox deal. And even though the Merc With A Mouth doesn't quite fit the MCU's wholesome image (well, at all, really), they would be absolutely mad to put him on the scrap heap.

In fact, they should embrace him fully and further explore the idea of introducing What If-style one shot movies by letting him kill the MCU's brightest and best.

The Deadpool KIlls The Marvel Universe comic events were great fun, and the idea of seeing Reynolds' 'Pool slaying everyone we've come to know and love would be like catnip to his growing army of fans. It would also show some fairly uncharacteristic willngness on Disney's part to take aim at their own properties too, which they're going to have to embrace even more to make Deadpool a continued success.

Is it likely? No. But you know you'd love to see it.
