Will Deadpool Ever Show Up in an X-Men Movie?

Long beforeDeadpoolbecame a runawaybox officehit, it was confirmed that this superhero adventure will be part of theX-Menmovie universe. 20th Century Fox hasn’t announced any formal plans to put the Merc With the Mouth in a future X-Men movie yet. And fans have been wondering how this foul-mouthed hero might fit into their PG-13 world.CinemaBlendrecently spoke withDeadpoolwritersRhett ReeseandPaul Wernick, who were asked ifDeadpoolshould be included in upcomingX-Menmovies. Here’s what they had to say below.

“Absolutely. I mean absolutely, as much we could seeX-Men[characters] in the Deadpool universe, we could seeDeadpoolin theX-Menuniverse. And we even have some fun ideas about that. That’s more [a]Simon Kinbergquestion. He’s the keeper of theX-Menuniverse, but in terms of like, ‘Could he pop he up in, you know, you know, any of the upcomingX-Menmovies?’ Absolutely. As long as it’s done right, I think we would embrace it.”

It’s worth noting that, after just under two full weeks in theaters,Deadpoolhas already become the highest-grossingX-Menmovie of all-time. It currently stands at $241.3 million domestically and $256.2 million internationally for a worldwide tally of $497.5 million, and it should surpass the $500 million milestone very soon. While it would almost be foolish not to includeRyan Reynolds' beloved character in futureX-Menmovies, it will certainly be challenging to put the Merc in aPG-13movie and expect him to behave. When asked if they’d consider bleeping out his curse words, the writers had this to say.

“That’s a great idea, yeah. We’ve been thinking along those lines, because he’s almost trapped in a PG-13 movie. It’s a fun idea.”

While many fans responded toDeadpool’sR-ratedlanguage and unconventional behavior, it could be even funnier to see how he would react while being censored. This is the same character who regularly breaks the fourth wall, while referencing the actors who play certain characters in theX-Menuniverse, so this tactic could certainly work.
