In Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness' most brutal sequence, the Scarlet Witch possessed her Earth-838 counterpart and proceeded to obliterate that world's Illuminati.
After murdering Professor X, Mister Fantastic, Captain Carter, Black Bolt, and Captain Marvel, Wanda Maximoff continued her pursuit of Doctor Strange and America Chavez, but what if The Illuminati had a helping hand from Deadpool? The hope among fans had been that the Merc with the Mouth might make his MCU debut in the movie, only for it to never happen.
Well, this clever fan-edit inserts Wade Wilson into the Doctor Strange sequel and shows him sneak up on the Scarlet Witch before brutally murdering the Avenger with one of his trusty katanas. That's bad news for the innocent Wanda possessed by the MCU's Variant, but The Illuminati would have been saved.
In many ways, it was a missed opportunity not having Deadpool enter the MCU in Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness. However, as that movie established that a Variant entering another reality can cause an incursion, it's still unclear how the Merc will be able to make this world a permanent home (unless the plan is simply to reboot the character, of course).
Deadpool 3 is currently in the works, so we'll hopefully learn more soon. In the meantime, this is a fun glimpse at what could be on the way when Ryan Reynolds gets to interact with the heroes and villains from the MCU.
