Is The Marvel Movie Multiverse Dead After Deadpool & Wolverine?

As a longtime Marvel fan and gamer with over two decades of experience in following the intricacies of the MCU, I can’t help but feel a sense of bittersweet nostalgia as I watch “Deadpool & Wolverine.” The film’s exploration of the Multiverse strikes a chord with me, as it mirrors my own journey through the Marvel Cinematic Universe.


Contains spoilers for “Deadpool & Wolverine”

Some fans of superheroes believe that the Marvel Cinemic Universe (MCU) should have stopped producing new films after “Avengers: Endgame.” This is because the franchise’s quality has been inconsistent since then, as indicated by disappointing box office numbers and divided critic reviews. Furthermore, some spectators are becoming weary of stories centered around the Multiverse. They were hoping for a disruptive, humorous film like “Deadpool & Wolverine” to shake things up. However, this latest Deadpool adventure doesn’t deliver on that promise but does seem to mark a farewell to the multiversal chaos that has been a common theme in the MCU over the past few years.

In the thrilling tale of “Deadpool & Wolverine,” I, as an avid fan, get to witness the dynamic duo, played by the brilliant Ryan Reynolds and Hugh Jackman, embark on a life-or-death journey to save the Multiverse from Emma Corrin’s Cassandra Nova. With their unmatched skills and witty banter, they manage to thwart her destructive plans, preventing the erasure of every universe except The Void. The success of their mission not only preserves the existence of the Multiverse but also breathes new life into Deadpool’s realm. What a triumphant turn of events for these antiheroes!

Despite their skepticism, those who doubt the existence of the Multiverse can still look forward to the MCU with a sense of guarded excitement. The release of “Deadpool & Wolverine” doesn’t necessarily rule out further films exploring interdimensional journeys, but it does mark a significant turning point.

Deadpool & Wolverine is a perfect swansong to Marvel’s Multiverse

Is The Marvel Movie Multiverse Dead After Deadpool & Wolverine?

Despite its graphic violence and crass humor, the movie “Deadpool & Wolverine” carries a touching message at its heart. In the end, Deadpool and Wolverine are seen enjoying a meal with companions, reassured that their world won’t fall apart imminently. Concurrently, the Time Variance Authority intervenes to return Blade (Wesley Snipes), Elektra (Jennifer Garner), and X-23 from The Void to their respective realities. With these heroes back in place, peace is restored, and everyone gains closure.

In simpler terms, the “Deadpool & Wolverine” film isn’t afraid to make fun of current pop culture trends and Marvel’s complex multiverse stories. It pokes fun at the criticism that Marvel movies have received for their intricate plots following “Endgame,” implying that it may be time for a change. Deadpool makes several jokes referencing this, even suggesting that “The Wizard of Oz” is the best multiverse tale – which could be seen as a criticism of the Marvel Cinematic Universe.

The outcome remains uncertain: will the Multiverse take a break following “Deadpool & Wolverine,” or will it continue to expand? While the multiverse concept is intriguing both creatively and financially, it may be scaled back in the future. But with whispers of “Doctor Strange 3” potentially disrupting Marvel’s Multiverse once more, we might witness additional dimension-hopping stories soon.
