In a November 2015 interview with, Deadpool screenwriters Rhett Rheese and Paul Wernick discussed a post-credits stinger that sounds way bigger and more involved than a fun Ferris Bueller homage. According to Alan Cerny of Ain’t It Cool News, there’s another post-credits stinger for the theatrical release, not yet seen by the press. The initial press screenings some of us at Inverse attended saw a fun but unimportant post-credits scene.
And, honestly, that’s all that matters about Deadpool. But relax, this stuff makes up some of the movie’s best jokes. This wouldn’t happen in the main Marvel Cinematic Universe, and your mileage varies as to whether or not that’s a good thing.Īnd no, besides Negasonic Teenage Warhead and Angel Dust or anybody obvious, no other X-Men or mutants are seen throughout Deadpool - including Wolverine. Now in Deadpool, he’s a new man and it’s not addressed or explained, cementing it as a very glaring wrinkle in the continuity.

He stands next to Kitty Pryde during a lecture, implying both a professional and personal relationship between them. He lives through Wolverine’s reset and is seen as his old self at the end of Days of Future Past. This distinction, of course, is made implicitly, because actually mentioning or including this complicated nonsense would put off so many of the audience who just want to see Ryan Reynolds kill dudes.Ĭolossus, however, still presents continuity problems. And it isn’t the Weapon X program, the same one that created him and Wolverine in X-Men Origins. Wolverine’s alteration of the timelines allowed Wade to live a different life but still end up a subject for advanced weapons testing. So the Wade Wilson in X-Men Origins: Wolverine, the maligned 2009 prequel, isn’t the same Wade Wilson you see in Deadpool. That means Deadpool slips right in to the current continuity without hassle. The current timeline that the X-Men live in is vastly different from what was started in the first X-Men from 2000. Cyclops and Jean Grey, who died in X-Men III: The Last Stand, are now alive and well.

The ending to the 2014 X-Men movie was a big reset of the entire continuity Wolverine’s adventure to the ’70s altered timelines, changed fates, and redefined everyone’s relationships. So what’s the deal with Deadpool and X-Men?įirst, you should know that nothing matters before X-Men: Days of Future Past. But X-Men wields a confusing and convoluted continuity, and Deadpool has no mention or cameo of any established X-Men (we’ll get to Colossus in a bit). With united cinematic universes en vogue for blockbuster superhero movies, 20th Century Fox couldn’t pass up an opportunity to include Marvel’s wise-ass assassin, Deadpool, as a part of their long-running X-Men movie series.
