Deadpool is one of the biggest Marvel character that Fox owned until Disney bought them out. Ryan Reynolds was supposed to play Wade Wilson in the Fox X-Men universe for a very long time. He did appear in brief roles for in movies like X-Men Origins: Wolverine. However, the appearances were so bad that many fans demanded Fox to either drop the character from the universe or do him right. Funnily enough, Deadpool was actually introduced into the Marvel Comics as a joke. It was to mock the DC character of Death Stroke. The character’s real name is Slade Wilson and Deadpool’s name is Wade Wilson. Yep, no one stretched any muscles there. However as Ryan Reynolds wanted to play the characters so desperately he did a mock shoot which went viral and fans loved it.
Reynolds asked the fans to write to Fox if they really wanted to see the film happen and guess what? That is exactly what happened. Fox was overwhelmed by the amount of requests they’d gotten from fans. So in 2016 Deadpool was released and despite it being R-Rated it was a box office juggernaut. With great critical reception and an amazing box office run it was natural that a sequel was happening. Deadpool 2 came out in 2018 and was a success again. It was not as good as the first film but it was not a disappointment. It was going great until Disney acquired Fox, which was great news as now the MCU would have all their heavy hitters.
The problem was that this put the Deadpool franchise in danger of a reboot and an actor change. However, Marvel had clarified a long time ago that they won’t reboot the Deadpool movies and won’t replace as Ryan Reynolds as Deadpool. This meant that Marvel would have to find a creative and seamless way to bring Deadpool into the MCU. We haven’t gotten much updates about the upcoming sequel yet but today, some new social media posts may have given us some hints.
