I Can"t Believe We Missed Out On The Best Deadpool & Wolverine Variant But I Know How He Can Join The MCU
Summary
- Wolverinepool was cut from Deadpool & Wolverine, a missed opportunity in the MCU.
- The Deadpool Corps had limited involvement in the movie, missing its potential for a larger impact.
- Wolverinepool's MCU debut could happen in Avengers: Secret Wars, offering a chance for a better storyline for the variant.
Deadpool & Wolverine ended up cutting what could have been the movie's best variant, but I think there is still a great way to bring him into the Marvel Cinematic Universe. After several months of speculation, Deadpool & Wolverine's cameos and other surprise characters were revealed. Among the cameos were Chris Evans' Johnny Storm and Henry Cavill's Wolverine, both of which I was pumped to see, and the Resistance in the Void, which offered a longer time with multiverse characters like Dafne Keen's X-23 and Wesley Snipes' returning Blade, providing a nice balance.

For months, rumors swirled about just how many Deadpool variants would appear, with the possibility that Taylor Swift would give life to Ladypool being the biggest of them. While Swift could eventually appear in a Deadpool & Wolverine sequel, Blake Lively was the one to voice Ladypool in the film. The MCU entry also included many Wolverine variants, most of them played by Hugh Jackman — which I partly wish wasn't the case. That said, a major variant was scrapped from the movie, and it makes no sense.

14 I'm Sad Wolverinepool Didn't Appear In Deadpool & Wolverine (He Looks Perfect) The MCU Movie Cut Its Ideal Multiverse Cameo Close There were many Deadpool and Wolverine variants in the MCU movie, with Hugh Jackman and Ryan Reynolds playing some of them, while other actors took over the rest. While it is not known exactly what his cameo would have entailed, there were plans for Deadpool & Wolverine to have included Wolverinepool. The character was rumored to show up in the film prior to its release, only he never appeared onscreen. Now, the first official look at Wolverinepool's planned design for Deadpool & Wolverine has been shared by concept artist David Masson San Gabriel on Instagram.
This confirms that Wolverinepool was scrapped from the film. I absolutely love how Wolverinepool looks in the concept art, and I'm sad that we never saw him in the movie. With the project being focused on both Reynolds' Deadpool and Jackman's Wolverine, I firmly believe that Wolverinepool would have been the ideal multiverse cameo to be included. The character comes from the comics, where Wolverinepool is a version of Wade Wilson whose skeleton is coated in Adamantium through the same Weapon X program that Wolverine was a part of.

I Think Deadpool & Wolverine Could Have Done A Better Job With The Deadpool Corps The Team Was Not Used To The Fullest Close I was very excited to see what role the Deadpool Corps would play in Deadpool & Wolverine, and while there was some good in there, I think the movie ultimately did leave much to be desired with the multiverse team. The Deadpool Corps is barely in the movie, which is okay due to how many moving parts there are in it. However, the team is pretty much only featured for one extended action sequence, with a couple of characters having lines without removing their masks, and that is it.
I wish the Deadpool Corps had been better integrated into the movie, with at least a couple of characters like Ladypool or Headpool playing a bigger role. Due to his link to both of the movie's heroes, Wolverinepool would have been perfect to serve in such a role within the Deadpool Corps. The character could also have helped fix another glaring issue of the team. While the Deadpool variants that were front and center had unique and exciting designs, most of those towards the back looked a lot like Reynolds' regular Deadpool suit. Wolverinepool would have added variety.

I Know A Better Way For Wolverinepool To Join The MCU Avengers: Secret Wars Could Do What Deadpool & Wolverine Didn't Close While Wolverinepool was scrapped from Deadpool & Wolverine, that doesn't mean the character has no MCU future. I know how Marvel can do right by the Deadpool Corps and introduce Wolverinepool at the same time. Avengers: Doomsday could end with Robert Downey Jr.'s Doctor Doom defeating the heroes and creating Battleworld. That would then set up many multiverse characters to appear in Avengers: Secret Wars, as Battleworld in the comics is a world that features several different versions of heroes and villains across lands that include iconic Marvel locations and more.
Based on Deadpool & Wolverine's resounding success — the MCU movie has become the highest-grossing R-rated film of all time — Deadpool and Wolverine should play a big role in the next two Avengers films, or at least Reynolds' Wade Wilson if Jackman chooses not to come back. I think the Deadpool Corps could rule one of Battleworld's locations, with the characters having a sizable role in a section of the film. That way, Wolverinepool could have an actual arc that would be better than the faceless cameo he was likely planned to have in Deadpool & Wolverine.
