Can Deadpool Save the MCU? ‘To The Rescue’

by

It’s possible that Ryan Reynolds could be hinting at a more substantial role than just a brief appearance. Given that Deadpool and Wolverine combined to surpass the billion-dollar mark in box office sales last year, it seems that Kevin Feige might be preparing Wade Wilson as the Marvel Cinematic Universe’s next major star, potentially as an Avenger.

Marvel’s Box Office Problems

The tease comes at a time when the MCU has been struggling:

  • The Fantastic Four: First Steps underperformed despite a strong opening.
  • Disney officially labeled Thunderbolts and Captain America: Brave New World as box office flops.
  • The Marvels remains the lowest-grossing film in MCU history.

It’s a shrewd move to incorporate Deadpool into the Avengers roster for both Avengers: Doomsday and Secret Wars, as it aligns with fan interest in traditional Marvel characters rather than what Feige has been developing after Endgame. In simpler terms, Deadpool’s inclusion is likely to appeal more to fans who prefer classic Marvel characters compared to the newer concepts that have emerged post-Endgame.

Reynolds’ Avengers Tease

As a devoted cinema enthusiast, I’m thrilled to share that Ryan Reynolds recently posted an intriguing image combining the Avengers logo with the anarchist “A,” hinting perhaps at Deadpool joining Earth’s Mightiest Heroes. Remarkably, this revelation comes exactly a year after the blockbuster duo of Deadpool and Wolverine shattered records by earning over $1 billion worldwide.

Things Have Changed: Reynolds’ Past Stance

As a die-hard cinema enthusiast, I must share an intriguing development – it appears that my stance regarding Deadpool has shifted unexpectedly. Previously, I had expressed a preference for keeping Deadpool on the sidelines, but now, things seem to have taken a turn. This change could be due to the underperformance of the Fantastic Four, leading me to reconsider the potential synergy between these iconic characters.

You understand, right? I prefer it if Deadpool remains independent from teams like the Avengers or X-Men. If he ever joins one of them, it would be too good to be true and not likely to happen anytime soon.

It’s yet to be determined whether Deadpool will team up with the Avengers in a special appearance for either the Doomsday or Secret Wars events, but it’s unclear if this is just a temporary alliance or if he will become a permanent member of the Avengers team.

Deadpool Is A No-Brainer

Deadpool is a proven crowd-puller:

  • He works across timelines and studios, able to interact with Fox, Sony, and MCU characters.
  • He can bring back fan-favorite mutants like Cable, Domino, and Colossus.
  • He’s the ultimate wildcard for a massive multiverse event like Secret Wars.

The “Savior” Role

Although Feige and Marvel have not officially announced anything so far, it seems that hints are being dropped: The highly successful Marvel film includes Deadpool, and now there are suggestions of him appearing alongside the Avengers emblem.

Rumors offer another big casting announcement is coming in the next couple of weeks.

To make another hit movie worth a billion dollars, they might turn to Deadpool (Wade Wilson), and perhaps even Hugh Jackman may join in on the fun.
