However, who better tease the X-Men's future involvement than with a cameo from Wade Wilson himself? While it's been theorized that the introduction of the MCU Multiverse can also serve as the vehicle to debut the X-Men, Marvel could just as well be waiting to integrate the expansive realm of X-Men and mutantkind for a later date.
While venturing through and fighting dangers across realities and alternate timelines, the multiverse could provide the perfect means to introduce Deadpool, even if it's only during a brief multiverse jump from universe to universe.Īs previously mentioned, Deadpool's multiversal "experience' comes from his time travels and reality jumping in Deadpool 2's hilarious post credits scene, which saw Wade saving his girlfriend Vanessa from being killed in the past, killing the terribly hated version of himself seen in X-Men: Origins, as well as shooting a past version of superhero movie veteran Ryan Reynolds in the head before he could sign on to play Hal Jordan in 2011's Green Lantern. Could the Doctor Strange sequel reference Deadpool's travels through realities? At the very least it could perhaps explain and excuse his appearance if he were to show up in the film.
While Marvel's WandaVision is probably too early, it's been reported that the events of that series will directly feed into Doctor Strange and the Multiverse of Madness. The Sorcerer Supreme (played by Benedict Cumberbatch) will be exploring the vast multiverse that was only briefly teased during 2019's Spider-Man: Far From Home by the villain Mysterio.

That being said, here are some top contenders that could feature a brief Wade Wilson cameo in the MCU. As such, Deadpool could serve as a great X-Men primer if he were to be featured in other MCU projects before his third film (if Marvel chooses to do so). Not only does he have some "experience" in hopping universes and exploring new realities, but his breaking of the fourth wall would provide some unique avenues to explain his appearance and the existence of mutants altogether.

With the MCU having already taken some substantial narrative twists in Phase 4, the stage is truly primed for a surprise appearance from the Merc With A Mouth. As long as Disney's open to doing some pretty wildly divergent or having some wildly divergent uses of Deadpool then I dig it, man. I think you're always gonna zig when everybody's expecting you to zag when it comes to that character. Similarly, Ryan Reynolds himself has been receptive to the idea of appearing in the MCU in a Deadpool solo movie, or a more team-based installment, responding to questions in this vein by stating " I think both are pretty warranted.
Both Deadpool films have been the biggest successes of the franchise from 20th Century Fox in recent years commercially, and have also received ample amounts of positive reception from critics and fans alike. If any character from the X-Men universe was to show up in the MCU sooner rather than later, Deadpool is by far the best option. However, it's possible that Marvel Studios won't want to wait and could be looking to add some Deadpool appearances in earlier MCU projects. While Ryan Reynolds' Deadpool joining Marvel's vast universe of characters and heroes is very exciting, Deadpool 3 won't begin filming until 2022 at the earliest. Could Deadpool be featured in the MCU before his third film? It's recently been revealed that the upcoming Deadpool 3 will indeed be a part of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, as confirmed by Marvel Studios president Kevin Feige.
