DEADPOOL & WOLVERINE's Original Plot Reportedly Revealed Along With A HUGE Post-Credits Scene Cameo

A new leak claims to reveal Deadpool & Wolverine's original plot, with greater links to Kang the Conqueror, Avengers: The Kang Dynasty, and a massive post-credits scene cameo. Read on for details...

Deadpool 3 went through several different iterations before becoming Deadpool & Wolverine, with Wendy Molyneux and Lizzie Molyneux-Logelin originally hired by Marvel Studios to pen the screenplay in 2020.

Later, Deadpool and Deadpool 2 scribes Rhett Reese and Paul Wernick boarded the threequel alongside Zeb Wells (star Ryan Reynolds and director Shawn Levy were also credited as writers). 

It's no huge surprise then that the movie's story went through multiple changes, and we now have details on Deadpool & Wolverine's original direction which may explain some of those very early plot leaks. 

"The movie was supposed to start with the TVA arresting Wade for messing with Cable's time machine," explains scooper @MyTimeToShineH"While he's in their prison, he overhears that the TVA is looking to recruit Anchor Beings from across the multiverse to create an army to fight the Kangs, and they were supposed to be searching for a version of Logan."

"Wade decides to escape and find that Ultimate Logan before they do, bringing him to his world to be his best friend forever since he tried to be BFFs with him for years but the one from his world is now dead."

"From there, the plot is pretty similar to what we got, with them traveling through the multiverse (which would also give a more logical explanation for the scene at Avengers Tower with Happy Hogan), In the end, they still end up in The Void, and from there, it mostly follows the same path."

"Johnny Storm talking shit about Cassandra Nova was the original ending," they add, "while the original post-credits scene was supposed to be Deadpool returning to Avengers Tower and finally getting to meet Tony Stark, who rejects him."

Principal photography on Deadpool & Wolverine began in May 2023, meaning Marvel Studios had plenty of time to pivot in the wake of Ant-Man and The Wasp: Quantumania's poor performance and Jonathan Majors' arrest. 

We've heard the idea for Avengers: The Kang Dynasty was for the TVA's army of Multiversal heroes to battle the Council of Kangs, with Deadpool & Wolverine clearly meant as a stepping stone to that. Instead, we got a standalone team-up and a rogue TVA agent in Mr. Paradox who believed he was protecting the Sacred Timeline by killing dying branches with the Time Ripper.

That's unlikely to have much of an impact on Avengers: Doomsday and Avengers: Secret Wars, though the survival of Earth-100005 very well might.

As for Robert Downey Jr.'s scrapped cameo, we've heard that was in the works but the actor didn't want to return unless it was for something meaningful (which we now know to be a reunion with the Russo Brothers as Doctor Doom). 

Deadpool & Wolverine is now playing in theaters.

We are not sure if this is true. But ending the Kang angle couldve been better served here and the finishing move by the introduction of Doom in Doomsday

@vectorsigma - yeah, they could've set up the ending for the Kangs here perfectly.

Could also have worked if there was talk of a character travelling the multiverse killing Kangs (which would've been Doom, but remains unnamed)

@bkmeijer1 - our next chance for those setups might be F4. Not sure how well Doom will be introduced and made compelling with such a short span.

But who knows, both cap4 and thundrrbolts might have kang/doom related postcredit scenes back 2 back given the situation

@vectorsigma - I'm kinda hoping each of the coming movies is gonna have a Doom post-credit scene. Doomsday itself can make him compelling, but I think they should atleast already show he's out there

While it would have been cool for this movie to have huge ramifications for the MCU, I'm actually kind of glad they made it a bit smaller than what the original plan seemed to be.

It was big enough in the sense that it involved the multiverse, but it wasn't too big in that it had to spend a ton of screen time building those bridges. I'm happy that we got a mix of big, with it still being personal enough for Wolverine and Deadpool to shine through.

@RedFury - agreed

It was big yet intimate aswell which worked in its favor

@TheVisionary25 - I went in expecting it to be this huge event of a movie, and was pleasantly surprised when it wasn't. It was probably the most fun I've had at a movie theatre in a long time.

@TheVisionary25 - I think I'd have to agree. No Way Home fought against the odds of COVID and really came out on-top in every way.

The TVA arresting Wade for his time shenanigans with Cable's time machine make, and then him overhearing their intention to build an army or (closer to the final film's plot) destroy his timeline, makes A TON more sense than Paradox pulling Deadpool into the TVA for no good reason and then explaining his whole plan to him immediately...
TheVisionary25
TheVisionary25 - 8/8/2024, 10:08 AM
@kaijunexus - I might agree with that that this apparent opening of the original is stronger then the one we got , especially in terms of how Wade gets involved with the TVA…

I just thought Paradox was blowing smoke up his ass by claiming his importance to the timeline and feeing unknowingly into Wade’s desire to “matter” but in actuality just thought of him as a fool that could be used.

kaijunexus - 8/15/2024, 10:23 AM
@TheVisionary25 - Right, but used for what? He states that he pulled Wade from his timeline because he would send him to the sacred timeline...but to what end? Why does he need Wade? It's never explained.

He just pulls him, tells him he can be a hero, and that he will maniacally kill everyone he cares about by destroying his timeline.

Why? Why for any of that? It's a huge narrative gap and a glaring plot hole in the driver of the whole film. I love the movie, but it's honestly just egregious...

If true then while this version could have been fun , I prefer the one we got overall since it was solid imo..

I especially think Wade’s arc in the one we got is stronger and rooted more emotionally then just trying to get Wolverine to be his best friend (though it still fits the sad clown archetype that this version of DP is).

Also , I feel like Wade meeting Happy in a different timeline/universe with Cables device (which was apparently just for time travel) makes about as much sense as him at the end of DP 2 going to the end of X-Men Origins to kill Barakapool or stop Ryan Reynolds from doing Green Lantern in that it doesn’t but you go with it.

Why are we STILL getting articles based on MTTSH's guesswork when they were deemed "increasingly unreliable"?

Not a credible source unless you are trying to source brain herpes.

Very unpopular opinion: I was looking forward to Kang and the whole Kang storyline that was rumored. Were there missteps in how Kang was portrayed in Antman 3, sure, but Loki did a great job with the character and there was still a lot of unrealized potential.

Personally I’ve always felt Doom is over rated, and although I’m excited for him to be introduced, RDJ won’t have been my first choice and bring him in as the next Thanos level big bad so quickly is a bad move. There’s like zero build up.

Majors may have had faults as a person, but his acting is stellar and it’s a shame we’ll never get to see how the whole thing would have played out.

@MuadDib - I agree with everything you just said !!!!!

@MuadDib - I wasn't necessarily looking forward to more of Kang as I was looking forward to what Kang entailed but I agree that they should have tied up his story somehow, even if it was as described in this article. I don't think Doom is overrated though, and I don't understand why you would think there's no build up? He's most likely going to have the same amount of build up as Thanos, i.e. 1 or 2 minor appearances (including FF) and 2 Avengers movies.

Why would Dr Doom deny deadpool from being an Avenger?

Even if this may not be a credible source as those above (or below depending on if you put old or new comments first) have said, i still believe the multiversal avengers/new illuminati is happening with hugh and tobey/andrew as your leads. It makes the most sense given the nature of the current mcu and also they have to one-up themselves after endgame and get butts back in seats. I think we will get hugh, tobey/andrew, tom cruise iron man, maybe eric bana hulk, brad pitt thor, james masden cyclops to name a few as well as some more surprise castings for varients to fill the team.

That would’ve been a fun one off cameo.
