Deadpoolsurvived theInfinity Warsnap because he wasn’t technically in the Marvel Cinematic Universe at the time. Marvel Studios boss Kevin Feige was asked about the Merc with a Mouth and jokingly gave the answer that certain hardcore MCU fans have been wondering about since April of this year. With that being said, don’t expect Wade Wilson to suit up and help take down Thanos inAvengers 4and revive all of the rest of the dusted characters fromInfinity War.
Thanos’s mighty snaptook down half of the universe as well as some of the most beloved superheroes in history. Marvel fans watched Peter Parker disintegrate in Tony Stark’s hands, which is something that nobody expected to happen. But when it comes to Deadpool, who has been through quite a bit on his own, he survived. Marvel Studios boss Kevin Feige had this to say about Deadpool and Thanos' snap.
“That’s a good question. Nobody’s asked me that question. I mean, technically speaking, he was not in the MCU. He was not in that cinematic universe, so he was not affected, probably.”
While it’s not hard to believe that the main star of theDeadpoolfranchise survived the events ofInfinity War, it’s pretty surprising that Kevin Feige has never been asked that question before. Feige probably gets asked a million weird questions a day, enough that he could more than likely write a book filled of the wacky questions that he gets asked on the daily. Regardless,Wade Wilsonlives to fight another day, but not with the Avengers just yet.
WithDisney’s acquisition of Fox, fans are wondering what will happen to the Merc with a Mouth. TheX-MenandFantastic Fourare all gearing up to possibly join the MCU, but what aboutDeadpool? The foul-mouthed superhero is a strictly R-rated affair, which doesn’t really fit into Disney’s current business model. Ryan Reynolds has probably already been fired a million times over for his Twitter account and the deal hasn’t officially gone through yet. It’s going to be very interesting to see how Disney handles theDeadpoolsituation when the time comes.
Wade Wilson fighting alongside Captain America inAvengers 4would be a pretty awesome sight, and you know that he would have plenty of jokes for Josh Brolin’s Thanos. But, that is something that’s not going to happen. At least not now, unless some hardcore MCU fan with a bunch of time on his/her hands decides to make theultimate Marvel fan editafterAvengers 4is released on Blu-ray next year. Now that we know that Deadpool survived the snap of Thanos, Kevin Feige can expect to get a lot more questions about potential survivors, in and outside of the MCU realm. you may watch the interview with Kevin Feige below, thanks to theVariety Twitteraccount.
