The MCU has been suffering in recent years, but one bright spot has been Deadpool & Wolverine, a critical and commercial hit that earned over $1.3 billion at the box office. Now, there are strong rumors that Ryan Reynolds is working on a future film in which his famous merc with a mouth will team up with the X-Men.<\/p>\n

While some fans are hyped about this idea, the truth is that such a team-up would ruin the X-Men\u2019s introduction to the MCU because the inclusion of Deadpool kills any potential for developing these new characters.<\/p>\n

Deadpool Doesn\u2019t Work and Play Well With Others<\/strong>\"\"<\/p>\n

That\u2019s because Deadpool movies are all about the title character: he steals every scene, talks directly to the camera, and generally presents himself as a tryhard meme made manifest. That works well for his solo movies, of course, because everyone is here to see the title character. But it doesn\u2019t work for an ensemble movie because, as we see in every Deadpool<\/a> movie, our main character can\u2019t let the X-Men or anyone else get a word out before he interrupts with another witty zinger.<\/p>\n

That works well when the zingers are funny, and there\u2019s certainly a pleasure in seeing Deadpool constantly roasting goody two-shoes like Colossus. But be honest: do you really think Colossus or anyone else in Deadpool\u2019s orbit actually gained any character development in these films? The answer is \u201cno\u201d because Deadpool movies don\u2019t have actual characters; instead, everyone else onscreen is a living prop intended to help our mirthful merc deliver his next c-c-c-crazy punchline.<\/p>\n

Uncanny X-Pectations<\/strong>\"\"<\/p>\n

Therefore, Deadpool\u2019s appearance in a future X-Men movie would be disastrous because Marvel<\/a> is trying to get these mutants just right for their first onscreen appearance. The bar is already very high because most of the original X-Men movies are very good, and shows like X-Men \u201897 have shown us just how well these mutants work onscreen when they are well-written. Now, it\u2019s no exaggeration to say that if the first X-Men MCU<\/a> movie is to succeed, it\u2019s going to need to be bigger and better than anything else (movie, show, or comic) we\u2019ve seen before.<\/p>\n

Let\u2019s be optimistic and assume that the first movie is a smash hit; if so, the introduction of Deadpool to the sequel would threaten to undo everything the inaugural X-Men movie builds up. No matter how great the characters and characterization are, Deadpool would ruin everything by turning every scene into just another joke. Plus, it\u2019s incredibly difficult for a new ensemble cast to shine when one of the most popular Marvel characters is constantly hogging the spotlight.<\/p>\n

The AARP Superhero<\/strong>\"\"<\/p>\n

The irony here is that popping Deadpool into a much later X-Men film might work because our new mutants will be well-established, making it harder for Ryan Reynolds<\/a> to steal everyone\u2019s thunder whenever he\u2019s onscreen. But we don\u2019t even know when the first X-Men movie will premiere, and Reynolds is already pushing 50 years old. By the time the MCU X-Men franchise is ready for Deadpool (like, half a decade after the first movie premieres), the actor will officially be too old to convincingly portray a youthful and acrobatic superhero.<\/p>\n

Marvel is facing a dilemma that not even the TVA could help solve: if they throw Deadpool into the first X-Men sequel, they might generate serious short-term profits (remember, Deadpool & Wolverine<\/a> earned over $1.3 billion at the box office). But he would effectively destroy any momentum the first movie built up, kneecapping the one fresh franchise Marvel is relying on to save itself. And if they wait until the X-Men are more well-established, Reynolds will be so old that he will need to be recast, effectively destroying the potential profits from putting Deadpool in a movie.<\/p>\n

Marvel\u2019s Minimum Effort<\/strong>\"\"<\/p>\n

For as funny and popular as Deadpool is, he needs to just stay out of the MCU X-Men movies for the foreseeable future. That\u2019s the only way these movies will be able to succeed on their own merits and not rely on stunt casting that will ultimately destroy the franchise. And unless its writers \u201cmaximum effort\u201d in telling an original story instead of just throwing in a bankable star and hoping for the best, the MCU itself is going to become this merc\u2019s latest victim.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The MCU has been suffering in recent years, but one bright spot has been Deadpool & Wolverine, a…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":120037,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[263],"tags":[2284,18,117,19,17,5940,327,2277],"class_list":{"0":"post-120036","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-movies","8":"tag-deadpool","9":"tag-eire","10":"tag-entertainment","11":"tag-ie","12":"tag-ireland","13":"tag-mcu","14":"tag-movies","15":"tag-ryan-reynolds"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/120036","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=120036"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/120036\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/120037"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=120036"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=120036"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=120036"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
