In a shocking twist, Ryan Reynolds’ wisecracking merc Deadpool has been confirmed to make his way into the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU). This sudden turn of events leaves fans wondering if this marks the beginning of a new era for the character. To better understand the implications of this development, we’ll take a step back and explore the cameos that have taken place in both the MCU and Fox universe between Deadpool and Wolverine, another iconic Marvel character.

Deadpool’s first appearance was in 2008’s X-Men Origins: Wolverine, played by Ryan Reynolds. However, it was clear that the film didn’t quite capture the essence of the comic book character. The movie received mixed reviews from critics and audiences alike.

In 2016, Deadpool made its solo debut with Ryan Reynolds reprising his role as the titular character. This time around, the film received widespread acclaim for its irreverent humor, action-packed sequences, and self-aware nature. The success of this movie paved the way for a sequel in 2018.

Wolverine’s cameos have been fewer and farther between compared to Deadpool’s. However, Hugh Jackman did appear as Logan in the aforementioned X-Men Origins: Wolverine. His character also made an appearance in the animated series X-Men: The Last Stand.

In 2017, Logan was released, marking a significant departure from the previous X-Men films. This film received widespread acclaim for its gritty realism and emotional storytelling.

The future of Deadpool’s role in the MCU remains uncertain at this point. However, it’s clear that both characters have left their mark on the Marvel universe. Their cameos will be remembered as a testament to the enduring popularity of these beloved characters.
