At least, until trying to make sense of it gives you a headache, then just go watch the movie again and laugh at the dick jokes.No, not home to the X-Mansion, but to Marvel Studios, the movie-making arm of the comic book juggernaut that created these characters in the first place. Deadpool's actions aren't going to have major implications on X-Men: Dark Phoenix or New Mutants, and they probably won't help Gambit get made any sooner. After all, once Deadpool 3 eventually hits theaters, chances are everything will be status quo because that's exactly what it should be. By the time he's done, who knows what state it's in? Perhaps it's even more unrecognizable before, or maybe nothing has changed. Through the antics of that sequence, the character is making tons of massive changes to an already wildly confusing timeline. At long last, that first, horrible version of Deadpool is gone once and for all.

In the end, it doesn't really matter what changes he makes to the timeline, because thanks to Cable's watch, he spends the movie's post-credits scene traveling back in time to change a number of things-including the events of X-Men Origins: Wolverine. The titular character is simultaneously making jokes with fans and trolling them. These movies are a complete romp that are about making jokes that appeal to the kinds of fans who spend a lot of time thinking about things like the X-Men movie timeline and whether the DC Universe is too dark and gritty for its own good. Honestly, do you really care how long after Marvel's Avengers that Spider-Man: Homecoming is set? Not really, but it can be fun to talk about with fellow fans.īesides, in many ways, making viewers obsess about timeline inaccuracies is exactly what Deadpool and Deadpool 2 are striving for. Taking a moment to examine the timeline this franchise has built, destroyed, and built again is interesting-especially when you take into consideration the gripes people have about the comparatively tiny discrepancies in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. In many ways, though, that's half of the fun. Yes, this is taking Deadpool 2 and its jokes way too seriously. Are we to believe the X-Men haven't aged in 35 years? Xavier should certainly look a bit more like Patrick Stewart at this point. These versions of the characters are from 2016's X-Men: Apocalypse, which was set in 1983. It's a great joke and an excellent set of cameos. As he registers his complaint with the universe, the camera finds Beast (Nicholas Hoult), Professor X (James McAvoy), Quicksilver (Evan Peters), and Cyclops (Tye Sheridan) in a room, as Beast quickly closes the door to avoid the Merc. Instead, he's saddled with Colossus, Negasonic Teenage Warhead, and, in this sequel, new addition Yukio. During a scene at Xavier's School for Gifted Youngsters, Deadpool jokes-because that's what he does-that none of the A-grade X-Men ever show up in his movies.

However, the movie's tinkering with the timeline doesn't end there.

Like most things Deadpool-related, this moment can simply be chalked up to another in a long line of jokes, even if that can be frustrating to those trying to keep the timeline straight. That particular movie is set in the year 2029, so either Deadpool can see the future or it's actually set in a post-post-apocalyptic world. If you have yet to see Deadpool 2, consider this your spoiler warning as we're going to dig into the movie's events.įirst and foremost, Deadpool 2 begins with Wade Wilson (Ryan Reynolds) playing with a music box designed to look like Logan's final moments from the 2017 film Logan, with the Hugh Jackman character dying. However, Deadpool 2 throws a massive wrench in that assumption. Where in that timeline, though? Based on simply watching the films, chances are you'd expect they were set in modern day-2016 for the first movie, 2018 for the second.
