The upcoming release of Deadpool & Wolverine, starring Ryan Reynolds, is set for July of this year.
Serving as the sole MCU theatrical release for the year, the film marks the formal introduction of the X-Men into the MCU, with Hugh Jackman‘s Wolverine and other characters from Fox Studios’ Marvel entries confirmed to appear.
According to recent reports from popular insider Can We Get Some Toast, the majority of the film will unfold in The Void, a space introduced in Loki.
Teasers suggest a multiversal storyline, with Deadpool navigating different timelines, a departure from the original script which was set during the original X-Men trilogy.
Most of Deadpool & Wolverine Will Happen in The Void
Ryan Reynolds and Hugh Jackman are poised to make their debut in the MCU with the upcoming film Deadpool & Wolverine, directed by Shawn Levy.
The first teaser released earlier this year showcased Deadpool being transported to various timelines by the Time Variance Authority, hinting at an encounter with Wolverine.
Since the film’s announcement, numerous cameo rumors have circulated, including appearances by Channing Tatum’s Gambit and Jennifer Garner’s Elektra, (via Looper) suggesting a multiversal crossover.
Recent revelations from insider Can We Get Some Toast indicate that the majority of the film will unfold in The Void, a concept introduced in the Disney+ series Loki, serving as the backdrop for Deadpool and Wolverine’s adventure.
Described as the end of time, The Void is where the TVA sends pruned parts of branched timelines, with its timeless nature opening up new possibilities for the character’s exploits.
The Previous Script for Deadpool 3 Was Planned to Occur During the Original X-Men Trilogy
Not only does Deadpool & Wolverine mark the introduction of the X-Men into the MCU, but it also incorporates various iterations of Marvel characters predating the MCU era.
Speculation about the inclusion of Blade, X-23, and Gambit in alternate timelines has been circulating.
While the current iteration of the film is said to take place in The Void, an earlier script reportedly situated the storyline within the events of the original X-Men trilogy, encompassing films like X-Men, X2, and X-Men: The Last Stand, which featured iconic characters like Jean Grey, Cyclops, and Storm.
In 2014, Fox Studios altered the storyline of X-Men: The Last Stand with the release of X-Men: Days of Future Past.
Despite its commercial success, the latter received mixed reviews and was considered inferior to the first two films.
The initial two X-Men movies are credited with transforming the superhero genre in Hollywood.
Although not confirmed, there’s speculation about the inclusion of the early 2000s X-Men suits, hinting at possible appearances by characters like Professor X and Magneto.
However, there’s no confirmation of their roles in the film. Notably, Sir Patrick Stewart‘s portrayal of Professor X has already been introduced into the MCU as a variant in the film Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness.
