Kevin Feige has hinted at a surprising theory about the connection between Marvel Studios’ X-Men and the long-awaited Deadpool movie.
The road from the famous X-Men saga under the Fox label to the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) has been long and full of speculation. However, it’s the upcoming movie “Deadpool & Wolverine,” directed by Shawn Levy and starring Ryan Reynolds and Hugh Jackman, that is weaving the thread into the actual integration of mutants into the MCU.
A transition full of expectations
Although five years have passed since “The Dark Phoenix”, Fox’s last X-Men film, “Deadpool & Wolverine” will not only revisit these iconic characters, but also solve their many timelines in the MCU multiverse, important and perhaps. A new beginning.
Marvel Studios President Kevin Feige dropped a comment that has changed fans, saying, “July 26th is when it really all starts with the premiere of ‘Deadpool & Wolverine.’ This statement could be a simple evasion, or it could be the key to the plot of the film, which is the multifaceted adventure of these characters in the MCU. It hints at the possible cause of the appearance of mutants.
The film not only brings action and nostalgia by bringing in Hugh Jackman as Wolverine, but also acknowledges the existence of mutants in this expanded universe by connecting the different timelines of Fox’s X-Men to the MCU. Additionally, the inclusion of cameos and supporting roles by actors returning decades later enriches this bridge between franchises.
Multi story weaving
So far, the Multiverse Saga in the MCU has offered a less defined structure than the Infinity Saga at its inception. There is still no main villain for “Avengers 5” and “Avengers: Secret Wars,” and no Avengers team has been established since “Avengers: Endgame.” “Deadpool & Wolverine” not only has the potential to advance the multiverse’s plot, but also lays the groundwork for future sagas, setting the stage for future revelations by looking at the MCU’s mutations.
The plot of “Deadpool & Wolverine” is undoubtedly ambitious. The film tries to connect not only Wolverine, but also several timelines of the X-Men to the rest of the MCU. Previous films like “Captain America: Civil War” and “Avengers: Endgame” have exceeded expectations, and this new installment may offer some surprises, including the introduction of the X-Gene and the birth of mutants.

A tribute to the Fox franchise
In itself, “Deadpool & Wolverine” is a celebration of Fox’s X-Men franchise and the passing of the torch from the characters to the mutants of the MCU. But the effect after it was created. Although the original X-Men cast is not part of the new MCU X-Men, their existence in a different universe could be key to introducing the X-Gene into the main MCU timeline.
This crossover between Fox’s X-Men franchise and the MCU’s X-Men helps keep Marvel Studios’ mutants born in the MCU from seeming random. In the source material, mutants have been involved in important historical events on Earth for thousands of years. In “Deadpool & Wolverine,” the characters use the MCU’s Earth-616 to provide its own version of the X-Gen from the beginning, making Fox’s X-Men characters directly responsible for the addition of mutations in the MCU.
