Deadpool crossover X-Men movie is not going to happen.
Deadpool earned an astonishing $132 million over the three-day weekend, making it the biggest R-rated opening ever and the biggest opener in history of 20th Century Fox.
Hollywood executives must have known this was going to be a big movie, because a sequel is already in the works with the same writing team who brought Deadpool to life, Rhett Reese and Paul Wernick.
So what exactly will the next involve? Well, you stayed long enough to catch the two post-credits sequences at the end of Deadpool you know that it was revealed that Cable will appear in the follow-up.
Cable was a character who, like Deadpool, appeared in Marvel’s New Mutants title in the early 1990s.
Cable’s full comic history is extremely complicated, but all you really need to know is that he’s from the future. Which explains that Deadpool 2 will involve some time-traveling adventures.
So who else is going to appear in the next Deadpool? We’re guessing on other members of the X-Men members will appear in the next movie.
However, producer Simon Kinberg tells New York Post that the producers want Deadpool movies to seem an entity unto themselves, not “leaning on the X-Men movies.”
“I’d love to see them in a movie together, because it would be funny. But the tones are very different,” Kinberg says. “The X-Men movies are very dramatic, almost operatic. That’s something that Deadpool could make fun of in a crossover movie, but we also want to be respectful of the X-Men movies.”
In other words, expect the character to move forward in a series of movies only barely linked to the X-Men universe. Deadpool probably won’t ever team-up with any of the major characters. According to reports, Deadpool probably wont ever team up with any of the A-list mutants, such as Professor X and Wolverine, and that’s probably a good thing.
