Marvel’s ‘Deadpool & Wolverine‘ has now crossed the $1 billion mark at the worldwide box office. However, did you know there was an original plan for the film that connected it to Kang the Conqueror? We’ve got the exclusive plot details you never knew about.
Marvel’s Original Plan for ‘Deadpool & Wolverine’
‘Deadpool & Wolverine’ was supposed to start with the TVA arresting Wade for messing with Cable’s time machine. While he’s in their prison, he overhears that the TVA is looking to recruit Anchor Beings from across the multiverse to create an army to fight the Kangs, and they were supposed to be searching for a version of Logan.
Wade decides to escape and find that Ultimate Logan before they do, bringing him to his world to be his best friend forever since he tried to be BFFs with him for years but the one from his world is now dead. From there, the plot is pretty similar to what we got, with them traveling through the multiverse (which would also give a more logical explanation for the scene at Avengers Tower with Happy Hogan).
In the end, they still end up in the Void, and from there, it mostly follows the same path. Johnny Storm talking shit about Cassandra Nova was the original ending, while the original post-credits scene was supposed to be Deadpool returning to Avengers Tower and finally getting to meet Tony Stark, who rejects him.
‘Deadpool & Wolverine’ was released in theaters on July 26, 2024—and has so far grossed $1 billion worldwide. Our reviews confirm that Marvel is back with a new hit—scoring 80% on Rotten Tomatoes, 8.3/10 on IMDb, 56% on Metacritic, and received an A CinemaScore from audiences.
Directed by Shawn Levy, the film stars Ryan Reynolds as Wade Wilson/Deadpool, alongside Hugh Jackman as Wolverine, Leslie Uggams as Blind Al, Karan Soni as Dopinder, Morena Baccarin as Vanessa Carlysle, Stefan Kapičić as Piotr Rasputin/Colossus, Rob Delaney as Peter, Shioli Kutsuna as Yukio, Brianna Hildebrand as Negasonic Teenage Warhead, Jennifer Garner as Elektra, and new additions Emma Corrin, Tyler Mane as Sabretooth, and Macfadyen. The script is penned by Rhett Reese, Paul Wernick, Zeb Wells, Reynolds, and Levy.
Marvel Studios presents their most significant mistake to date—”Deadpool & Wolverine.” A listless Wade Wilson toils away in civilian life. His days as the morally flexible mercenary, Deadpool, behind him. When his homeworld faces an existential threat, Wade must reluctantly suit-up again with an even more reluctantlier… reluctanter? Reluctantest? He must convince a reluctant Wolverine to— F***. Synopses are so fuck*** stupid.
