Deadpool & Wolverine
Summary
Deadpool & Wolverine ’s place in theMarveltimeline should be simple , but a cameo fromDeadpool 2makes it somewhat more perplexing . Deadpool is joiningthe MCU timelinein his approaching film , but some theatrical role will take position in Fox ’s Marvel universe before he crosses over to Disney . It ’s been six age sinceDeadpool 2 , and director Shawn Levy say theupcomingDeadpool & Wolverinemoviewill feature the same time jump . In an interview with Total Film ( viaCollider ) , Levy clarified when the pic is set and Wade Wilson ’s current condition .
" It takes position six years after the last film . He ’s proving to be useless at sell cars , monger Blind Al ’s blood - pressing meds to make rent , and his darling Vanessa has a new boyfriend . "
It is n’t shocking that the film features a six - year gap from its precursor . However , there is a cameo fromDeadpool 2that causes audiences to question what year that film train place . Whilethe Fox universe ’s timelinewas a mess , this cameo causes plenty of muddiness about Deadpool ’s place in time if it is canyon and not just a throwaway gag .
Deadpool & Wolverine ’s canyon connections to Fox ’s many X - Men movie timeline and the MCU are n’t exactly as straightforward as they may seem .
Deadpool 2’s X-Men Cameo Suggests The Film Is Not Set In The Present Day
Deadpool 2features a brief glimpse into Xavier ’s School for Gifted Youngsters . Colossus try out to inscribe Deadpool and bring him to the X - Mansion , where Wade cheat around and briefly adopt Xavier ’s wheelchair . While arguing with Colossus , Wade complains that Fox ca n’t get the other disco biscuit - Men to show up for his moving-picture show , mightily before it cuts to a room featuringJames McAvoy ’s Professor X , Nicholas Hoult ’s Beast , Evan Peters ' Quicksilver , Tye Sheridan ’s Cyclops , Alexandra Shipp ’s Storm , and Kodi Smit - McPhee ’s Nightcrawler .
It ’s a screaming cameo , particularly since that ’s the only time these characters appear in the moving-picture show . However , it does confuse Deadpool ’s timeline . If McAvoy ’s X - Men fromDark Phoenixis present inDeadpool 2 , the pic take position at least in the 1990s . If it was set in the present daylight , the group meeting elbow room would have included Patrick Stewart ’s Xavier , James Marsden ’s water flea , and others from that timeline . TheDeadpool 2cameo is likely just a meaningless joke , but if it is n’t , that meansDeadpool & Wolverinewould start in either the late nineties or mid-2000s .
Deadpool Could Still Join The MCU From A Different Point in Time
Even if theDeadpool 2cameo messes up the timeline , it wo n’t affectDeadpool & Wolverinemuch . Deadpool is being kidnapped by the TVA , an administration that exists outside of time and space . The TVA can drop him anywhere they want within the MCU , so it wo n’t weigh when they catch him within the Fox universe . InLoki , the TVA has the ability to travel to any stop in time , whether it ’s the 1800s , medieval times , or 2056 . Deadpool can easily get together the MCU in the present mean solar day , regardless of where the TVA pick him up .
This also leads to a theory thatDeadpool & Wolverinecould be a journey through various points in the MCU timeline . OneDeadpool & Wolverinesynopsisstated that Ryan Reynolds ' Deadpool and Hugh Jackman ’s Wolverine will embark on a journey that " will change the history of the MCU . " That description suggests that the mutant duo will be travel to iconic moments in the MCU and pay off certain things that will salvage the existence , but could dissemble other instant . Through the TVA ’s technology , Deadpool and Wolverine can move to any moment they want .
The Fox X-Men Timeline Never Mattered Much Anyway
Deadpool 2 ’s X - Men cameo is n’t the only time that Fox ’s universe has had a messy timeline . The universe always retcons itself , or does n’t pay aid to persistence point . For illustration , the terminate ofX - Men : daytime of Future Pasterased the events ofThe Last base , upraise Jean Grey and Cyclops . X - work force : First ClasstoDark Phoenixsupposedly took place in the 1960s to the 1990s , however , none of the characters ever age , showing Fox paid little attention to whatever time period its film were in , besides making some address .
Fox bring tight and easy with its timeline , which is whyDeadpool 2’scameo does n’t count overall . It ’s a laughable moment that audience should n’t think about too much regarding how it affects Deadpool ’s circumstance . The MCU does take continuity more severely than Fox , butDeadpool & Wolverinecan still cite outcome outside the timeline thanks to Deadpool ’s ability to break the 4th bulwark .
