Summary
Deadpool & Wolverineis set to introduce a significant multilevel concept from the comics into the Marvel Cinematic Universe, promising an exhilarating occurrence for fans.
Deadpool & Wolverineis one of the most anticipated releases of 2024 and also an important one for Marvel. Excitement is brewing among fans as they eagerly anticipate the dynamic team-up of Hugh Jackman’s Wolverine and Ryan Reynolds' Merc with a Mouth in what promises to be an action-packed title. However, a recent rumor indicates that the film might change the MCU forever by introducing one staggering concept from the comics.
According to industry insiderDaniel Richtman (via X), the much-awaited third installment ofDeadpoolis going to introduce the concept where one specific hero holds the key to that universe’s survival. In simple terms, if that specific hero dies or gets removed from their universe, that entire universe will be done and dusted. It also makes it clear that each universe will have a different hero, meaning there won’t be two Thors or Spider-Mans with this ability in one universe. This is the first time Marvel will be using this concept in its cinematic universe. However, this concept was introduced in the Marvel Comics way earlier and these heroes were known as the nexus beings.
For the uninitiated,Nexus Beings in Marvel Comics are considered to be unique entitieswith the extraordinary power to influence probability and shape the future. They are also capable of disrupting the Universal Time Stream. These nexus beings are very important because they help in ensuring stability in the multiverse. Interestingly, the Nexus Beings are watched over by the Time Variance Authority, which have already become a huge part of the MCU after being introducedin the Disney+ seriesLoki. It would be interesting to see how Marvel introduces this concept in the upcoming movie and who would be the ‘nexus being’ here. Fans believe that Deadpool might be introduced as a Nexus Being in the MCU, but nothing has been confirmed yet.
Thankfully, social media handles and websites have stopped sharing theDeadpoolthreequel set. For several weeks,various leaks spoiled several pivotal moments from the upcoming superhero movie.It would be a travesty if something as big as the aforementioned rumor gets leaked. Nevertheless, saying Deadpool & Wolverine is a crucial release for Marvel would be an understatement.
Phase 5 of the Marvel Cinematic Universe has been massively underwhelming, with films such asAnt-Man and the Wasp: QuantumaniaandThe Marvelsbombing at the box office. It is an indication that fans want to see a better storyline, not just stunning visuals. As far asDeadpool 3is concerned, plot details are being kept tightly under wraps. However, the first trailer for the film indicated that TVA would recruit Deadpool for unknown reasons. Fans are excited about the movie and to see how Marvel will re-introduce Jackman’s Wolverine in the MCU.
Deadpool & Wolverineis currently scheduled to release in theaters on July 26.
