Yes, DEADPOOL Is Part Of The X-MEN Movie Universe

Since Fox Studios has given new life to the Deadpool movie with a 2016 release date that is almost eight years after Ryan Reynolds debuted as the mutant mercenary in X-Men Origins: Wolverine, many have wondered if the Tim Miller-directed adaptation will be completely standalone, or still a part of the ever-growing X-Men universe. Well, this was addressed during a recent interview with screenwriter/producer Simon Kinberg, who is overseeing Fox's shared Marvel universe so far with   X-Men: Days of Future Past, X-Men: Apocalypse and The Fantastic Four. "There’s definitely a sort of overall plan that we’ve all been talking about for the X-Men universe now, and Deadpool obviously fits into that," he confirmed. "So yeah, I guess I would say it's part of certainly an overall timeline and thought process that goes into these films, some of which is inspired by the comics and some which is inspired by seeing what Marvel’s done with telling a larger tapestry and linking all those movies together, even as they stand independently as well. The same kind of thought is going to go into these X-Men movies at Fox." Simon Kinberg confirming that the Deadpool movie is indeed a part of the X-Men universe isn't a huge surprise, especially considering Days of Future Past altered everything that occured in the previous X-Men movies. Anyhow, Ryan Reynolds is expected to return as the Merc with a Mouth on February 2, 2016.

I would have rather had the Deadpool movies as stand-alone movies....

I hope they don't make Deadpool a serious character and they stick to the tone of the test footage

As long as there aren't constant references to the other X-Men movies, then great.

We don't want more Iron Man 2's or The Amazing Spider-Man 2's, do we?

Since Origins never happened, there's the possibility that Deadpool turned out closer to the comics version.

Must admit, I've never been the biggest Deadpool fan. But I'll see the movie when it's released.

I hope the movie is good. Reynolds sucks ass when he plays superheros.

It would seem weird to have the Deadpool that we saw in the test footage in the X-Men Movie Universe. The tone will be a definite outcast compared to all the other X-Men films if they go with the tone as seen in the test footage. Still pretty interesting.

I kinda wanted to see Deadpool be a stand-alone movie.

For some reason I can't see how they are going to fit Deadpool into the more serious X-Men movies. Unless they tone him down a bit and make it less zany than how he is usually portrayed.

This will be very interesting down the road to see how they plan it out.

Hell no. I think the problem with those movies are that they're just 2 hour previews for the next one. I will say this though; at least TASM2 has the Gwen scene at the end.

I think Fox has learned from their previous mistakes. With Singer in charge I have no worries.

I hope this means that the Deadpool movie will set up the X-Force movie. I also want to see him stay in the costume the whole time.

Another thing that would be cool is when Deadpool swears he gets bleeped. He breaks the fourth wall all the time and it would cool to see him getting angry, because his words keep getting bleeped. This way you also have him saying bad things and the movie stays PG-13. Maybe have him finding a way to get past the sensors at the end of the movie, so he can stick it to the man. It worked in Scott Pilgrim vs the World, so why not this too.

Not surprised..... Also they don't have to tone down Deadpool just because he's part of the xmen film universe.

They don't it in the comics, so why should do it on film, go all out Deadpool

so pg-13 pretty much confirmed,considering all of the other x-men movies are around the same sort of certificate.

It'll be great if Daniel Cudmore(Colossus) could make a appearance in the movie now.
We should start hearing announcements for casting very soon :D

Of course he is going to be toned down.

He is the type of character that would make fun of the previous X-Men films in his own movie. How would they make sense of that if he is part of the movies?

He will most likely be limited in his jokes if they throw him in the future X-Men films.

Maybe they have some workarounds and they wont tone him down. I personally can't see it at the moment.

If he breaks the fourth wall and pokes fun at Singer's boy scandal, I'll cum in my pants, in the theater, with lots of people around me.

Wouldn't be too hard to have Deadpool share the same universe. Just requires being in a different time period than the standard X-Men. Having Apocalypse set in the 80's makes that easier. Have Deadpool set in modern day. That's 30 years after the events of Apocalypse. That space of years can have an effect on the type of mutants we see. There can be more mutants out in the open, more mutants that are proud to be what they are, Nd more mutants wearing colourful costumes and acting different from humans.

Hell, could even have Deadpool in a future timeline like Cable, and link the two of them from the beginning.

Either way, it can easily work. Just give me my [frick]ing Deadpool!

@ spiderfraud

It still doesn't mean they will tone it down cause he'll make fun of x-men films.
NOW if Deadpool was in x-men or x-force, I'm sure they'll turn him down then, but his own movie....... Nah

I'm just glad that the guy has given respects to Marvel and what they've done with their shared universe and how they're really planning to tie up all of these franchises together for this main "event" film he's speaking of. I think it's that mystery 2018 film that Fox still has yet to announce.

That slapping Wolverine part is honestly my favorite part of the Deadpool game. I died on purpose twice right after just to do it over again...

Well he didn't mention a "main event film" but this "plan" that they're speaking of puzzles me.

I just want a good Deadpool movie that has the tone of the test footage.... I don't really care if they incorporate Deadpool into other movies or not because Deadpool is such a unique character

An X-Force movie would be awesome, with Psylocke and a fresh take on Wolverine (Jackman is awesome but I'm dying to see another actor portray Wolverine)
