A lot has changed in the intervening years: Deadpool and X-Men studio 20th Century Fox was acquired by Disney, so now Marvel Studios holds the keys to Deadpool, meaning that the famed fourth wall-breaker will be absorbed into the MCU in future appearances, including the third installment.
Deadpool & Wolverine will be Disney's and MCU's first R-rated film, as Hugh Jackman's Wolverine (who went full R-level, realistic violence in 2017's Logan) is also ported over to the new CU. Deadpool & Wolverine comes out on July 26 — a big year for beasts fighting. This post has been updated.
Set to release this summer, the movie is bringing the foul-mouthed assassin and his claw-wielding frenemy into the Marvel Cinematic Universe for the first time thanks to Disney's acquisition of 20th Century Fox, who had previously owned rights to the characters.
Disney owns the exclusive film rights to most of the Avengers characters. (An exception is the Hulk, to which Universal owns the solo film distribution rights, which is why Hulk now only appears in team-up films). Fox owns the film rights to Deadpool. Disney cannot use that character without Fox's permission.
Marvel Studios' much-anticipated Deadpool & Wolverine is scheduled for release on July 26, 2024, as part of the MCU's Phase 5, and will bring Deadpool and Wolverine into the MCU proper for the first time ever.

Who will play Logan in MCU?
Hugh Jackman returns as Wolverine in the MCU film, and Deadpool & Wolverine's new trailer has revealed more about his story. A multiversal theory connects the MCU to Logan's timeline without resurrecting that version of Wolverine.
Ryan Reynolds Was “Surprised” and “Grateful” Disney Allowed R-Rating for 'Deadpool & Wolverine' The film, due out July 26, will make history as Marvel's first R-rated movie.
In the comics from which the movie is adapted, Deadpool is pansexual – he makes no distinction between genders or gender identity in his choice of partners. The term “bisexual” would be too narrow for Deadpool, who has flirted with Thor, propositioned Spider-Man and wouldn't rule out, say, unicorns.
Deadpool is effectively immortal, although he has died several times. He is still alive 800 years in the future when the new X-Force encounters him. In addition, Thanos once declared that Deadpool should "consider yourself cursed ... with life!" out of jealousy over Deadpool's status as Death's love interest.
Later in May, Brianna Hildebrand and Shioli Kutsuna were revealed to be reprising their respective roles as Negasonic Teenage Warhead and Yukio. Ryan Reynolds as Deadpool (left) and Hugh Jackman as Wolverine (right) in the film.
One of the major reveals from the trailer was the appearance of Pyro, a member of Magneto's Brotherhood of Mutants. Pyro, Wolverine, and Deadpool are all mutants from the Fox universe.
Including Cable in the multiverse-traversing narrative could have been a costly decision when the movie is also hiring Hugh Jackman. Having so many stars appear in the movie may have squeezed the budget too greatly. Additionally, Cable is far more closely associated with the X-Men than Deadpool is.
Deadpool 3—officially titled Deadpool & Wolverine—is coming this year. And there's a ball-busting (no, literally) trailer to prove it. The last instalment, in which Ryan Reynolds' titular “merc with a mouth” squared off with Josh Brolin's Cable, arrived almost six years ago.
Although Deadpool 3 has the premise to welcome Loki, it is unclear if Loki is willing to appear. His time-slipping ability initially allowed him to pop up in whatever timeline he pleased. However, Loki's ending seemed to insinuate he was trapped in a new role in the MCU.
Rogue was brought to an arena where Blockbuster was going to kill her. Deadpool went there, managed to kill Blockbuster and saved Rogue. Rogue needed to heal, and Deadpool decided to give her his healing factor through skin contact, by kissing her.
Morena Baccarin was born in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, to actress Vera Setta and journalist Fernando Baccarin. Her uncle was actor Ivan Setta. She is of Italian as well as Lebanese and Portuguese/Brazilian descent. She moved to New York at the age of 10, when her father was transferred there.
So, Deadpool's main superpower is his healing factor, and what a healing factor it is. In multiple comics over the years, it's been established that Deadpool's healing factor is more powerful than Wolverine's. Deadpool can survive anything. If his head is cut off, he'll regrow his body over a few weeks.
Only a few select people can withstand his seemingly endless talking, and his mouth is sewn shut in the final act of X-Men Origins: Wolverine. Ajax also threatens to sew Wade's mouth shut in Deadpool when he is undergoing his cancer treatment because of his nonstop talking.
Yes, Deadpool feels every bit of pain as normal humans do. However, his regenerative ability allows him to heal from all injuries. While Deadpool can heal quickly, he isn't indestructible. His body restores, but he does endure pain as much as a regular human would upon a similar injury.
Not only is “Deadpool and Wolverine” notable for being the first R-rated Marvel Cinematic Universe movie at Disney, but it also marks Hugh Jackman's highly-anticipated return to playing his iconic X-Men character.
It has lots of graphic violence, sex (including partial nudity), adult humor, and nonstop strong language. Unlike most other Marvel superhero films, which only hint at romance, include just a few curse words, and skip the gore, Deadpool is decidedly grown-up, bloody, and raunchy by comparison.
The writing in this movie is just plain phenomenal, and the comedy: golden. However, Deadpool is not for kids. While this film does have an incredible story, amazing writing and fantastic acting, its also VERY mature in almost every aspect.
