Deadpool & Wolverine Ending Explained
Deadpool & Wolverine’s ending is filled with multiversal stakes, insane cameos, and big teases for the future of the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
Did Deadpool & Wolverine Tease Wade Wilson’s Death In Avengers: Doomsday & Avengers: Secret Wars?
Even though Wade’s future death was likely just meant to bea fun Marvel Easter egg inDeadpool & Wolverine, there is the possibility that this is actually foreshadowing a real storyline for the MCU. Despite the fact that Deadpool just joined the MCU, as well as his powers preventing him from dying, this doesn’t mean that Reynolds' character is entirely safe from getting killed down the line. As mentioned inDeadpool & Wolverineby Mr. Paradox, Wade’s death is somewhere in the future, which could be sooner rather than later.
It wouldn’t be a shock if the foreshadowing inDeadpool & Wolverineis perhaps setting up an actual storyline inAvengers: DoomsdayandAvengers: Secret Warswhere Wade dies. With those films set to lead into a reported soft reboot for the MCU as Marvel Studios move into Phase 7 in the coming years, big, meaningful deaths are bound to happen. As it seems almost inevitable that Reynolds and Hugh Jackman will both be back in some capacity forAvengers: DoomsdayandAvengers: Secret Wars,having either of them bite the dust would leave a major impact.
However,Deadpool & Wolverinesetting up the idea of Wade dying at some point in the timeline doesn’t mean that has to be it for Reynolds. Superheroes come back from the dead all the time, both in the comics and in various media adaptations, and there is no reason why Deadpool couldn’t rely on that concept too. For now, the world can catchDeadpool & Wolverineand its mysterious Thor scene in theaters.
