This is How ‘Deadpool 3’ Could Change The History Of The MCU
In 2024, Marvel Cinematic Universe fans are gearing up for ‘Deadpool 3,’ the sole MCU release for the year. Marking a significant shift from its 20th Century Fox predecessors, the film promises a game-changing collaboration between Ryan Reynolds’ Deadpool and Hugh Jackman’s Wolverine.
While official details about the storyline remain scarce, glimpses from set photos and videos have fueled anticipation. The recently released official synopsis teases a monumental impact on the MCU’s history, hinting at a storyline that involves Deadpool altering the course of events alongside Wolverine. With rumours swirling about an array of characters and universes, here are potential ways ‘Deadpool 3’ could change the history of the MCU.
‘Deadpool 3′ Introduces the Fantastic Four to The MCU
In ‘Deadpool 3’ set photos, a potential ‘Fantastic Four’ tease has fans buzzing. Despite Marvel’s ‘Fantastic Four’ movie slated for 2025, speculation mounts that the iconic team might make an early appearance in ‘Deadpool 3.’
A snapshot reveals a sleek, futuristic car resembling the classic Fantasticar from the comics, complete with a prominent “4” on the vehicle’s front. If Deadpool 3 indeed introduces the First Family into the MCU, it could rewrite the universe’s history.
The Film Shows Wolverine and Captain America Fighting Together
If Jackman’s Wolverine ventures into the MCU or another universe beyond the Fox franchise, it opens up exciting possibilities for character crossovers. The potential return of Chris Evans as Captain America could reshape MCU history, unveiling a revelation that Wolverine and Steve Rogers fought side by side in World War II.
This move would be a significant retcon, aligning the cinematic universe more closely with its comic book roots. Amidst rumours of Evans reprising his role as Captain America, fans anticipate a new project that could intertwine these iconic characters and rewrite a piece of Marvel history.
‘Deadpool 3′ Interprets the MCU’s Kang The Conqueror Differently
With the recent departure of the actor playing Kang, the Multiverse Saga faces the need for a recast. To keep Kang the Conqueror at the forefront as the main villain, ‘Deadpool 3’ offers a strategic opportunity. Introducing new actors in pivotal Kang variants, such as Rama-Tut, Scarlet Centurion and Immortus, during a post-credits scene featuring the Council of Kangs would seamlessly allow for a new portrayal.
This move not only ensures Kang’s continued presence as a formidable threat but also allows for a clever retcon, presenting the variants with distinct appearances and ensuring a smooth transition in the Multiverse narrative.
Wade Wilson Uses Time Travel to Alter MCU Events
Ryan Reynolds has teased an unconventional storyline, describing it as a road trip featuring Deadpool and Wolverine. Drawing inspiration from plot devices in previous films, particularly ‘Deadpool 2”s use of Cable’s time travel device, the upcoming installment might see the duo journey through the MCU.
Taking a page from ‘Avengers: Endgame,’ where the heroes revisited crucial past events, Deadpool could employ a similar approach, potentially targeting Iron Man or exploring comparable past moments in the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
‘Deadpool 3′ Introduces Doctor Doom As the Multiverse Saga’s Main Villain
Reports suggest that Marvel is contemplating the possibility of substituting Doctor Doom for Kang the Conqueror as the primary antagonist in the Multiverse Saga, following the reported departure of Jonathan Majors.
‘Deadpool 3’ is being considered as the ideal vehicle for this transition, given its focus on the multiverse theme. The film could introduce Doctor Doom by either bringing a version of the ‘Fantastic Four’ villain from another universe into the MCU or by crafting a narrative that explains the demise of all Kangs, potentially tied to the movie’s speculated TVA (Time Variance Authority) presence, making the way for the rise of Doctor Doom.
