Summary
Deadpool & Wolverinemay be over, but the impact of the titular characters entering theMarvel Cinematic Universehas only begun to be explored, including in newAvengers: Endgamefan art. While the recentDeadpoolfilm is filled to the brim withDeadpool easter eggs, the bulk of these were pulled from the Fox universe rather than the MCU. FollowingDeadpool & Wolverine’s cameos, it makes sense to consider the insertion of Wade Wilson into other MCU settings and encounters.A new piece of fan art has done precisely that, directly referencing the events ofAvengers: Endgame.
In the new fan art, which was posted by Ryan Reynolds onXaccompanied by the text"Someone must’ve seen Wade Wilson’s vision board",Deadpool is shown suited up in the time travel suits that the Avengers wore inAvengers: Endgame. This image, credited to@rahalarts, suggests Wade Wilson’s participation in the movie’s events, and the text indicates that Deadpool still wants to be a member of the Avengers. While Deadpool was rejected from the team by Happy Hogan, theending ofDeadpool & Wolverineshowed significant character growth, and there are certainly opportunities ahead for Wade Wilson’s future.
Will Deadpool Join The Avengers In The MCU After Deadpool & Wolverine?
Wade Wilson Is Now One Of Marvel’s Most Popular Characters
Because of the kind of wise-cracking, self-aware character that he is,this iteration of Deadpool would be an odd fit for the Avengers team.While Ryan Reynolds' charisma and star power would make sense in the universe, each of hisDeadpoolfilms has been R-rated and featured several fourth-wall breaks. While the MCU has also done this withShe-Hulk: Attorney at Law, these characters are more challenging to fit into an ensemble. With awareness beyond the story, Deadpool may be a poor fit for the Avengers team.
With that said, future appearances by the character in the MCU feel likely. Especially following theMarvel box office records set byDeadpool & Wolverine,the character is clearly popular and audiences would love to see him appear in future films. While he has now returned to a separate universe than the main MCU is set in, the rest of the Multiverse Saga will see more opportunities for characters to cross over between films. Following this, it seems likely that Deadpool may appear in some capacity to assist the team inAvengers: DoomsdayorAvengers: Secret Wars.
All good things must come to an end - however,if Hugh Jackman does continue playing the role of Wolverine until he’s 90, there is certainly the possibility that Ryan Reynolds could do the same as Deadpool.Fitting their characters and performances into the MCU would be a difficult thing to do successfully, but it is clearly something that audiences are interested in. Finding ways to fit Deadpool into the future of the MCU is likely a high priority for their team. Following the events ofDeadpool & Wolverine, anything feels possible in Marvel’s multiverse.
