Kevin Feige On Being Referenced In DEADPOOL & Whether The Merc Might Eventually Make His Way Into The MCU

Kevin Feige, head of Marvel Studios, was recently questioned about Fox's Deadpool - both on being name-dropped in the first film and the possibility of the character one day appearing in the MCU...

Tim Miller's Deadpool and David Leitch's Deadpool 2 aren't connected to the Marvel Cinematic Universe - but that didn't stop them from making references to their fellow superhero franchise.

Marvel Studios President Kevin Feige was name-dropped on a pizza box early on during the first film. CinemaBlend recently asked Feige what his reaction to the reference was. The man behind the MCU explained his fondness for both the name-drop and Fox's current iteration of the character.


I thought it was very funny. I think that's one of the great things about Deadpool, both in the comics and what Ryan has done with him in the movies, is you can break the fourth wall. They mention DC in the new trailer! They can get away with that, and it's great. That was the only way to have done it, from the comics in the movies, and it's great that they did. Versus earlier incarnations of Deadpool in earlier X-Men movies...

CinemaBlend then questioned Feige on the merc's cinematic future - specifically refering to the Disney-Fox deal that is currently in the works. To the question of whether Deadpool might one day make his way into the MCU;

Feige explained that its certainly not at the forefront of his mind at the moment - which is understandable considering how much the man currently has on his plate.

I mean, look - I can get excited about a lot of things. In this case in particular, there's no deal until they say there's a deal, so I'm not thinking about any of it, honestly, any more than I ever have, which is to say, of course, I would always think about it because I can't help it. But not specifically, and between our premiere [of Avengers: Infinity War], Ant-Man & The Wasp finishing its cut, Captain Marvel filming, Spider-Man about to start filming, and us about to seriously getting in the cutting room on Avengers 4, there's a lot to do.

What do you think about Feige's comments? Would you like to see Ryan Reynolds appear as the merc with a mouth alongside The Avengers one day?

No, I would not like to see Ryan Reynolds Deadpool appear alongside the MCU Avengers.

But it may happen.

Oh well. You win some, you lose some.

deadpool is probably the easiest character to integrate into the mcu if that day ever comes. all he needs to do is mosey on into an iconic mcu landmark in a throwaway scene.

and that’s it. you’re done. successfully integrated.

It does seem to be a shame to waste an actor so perfect for the role who understands the character and his humor so well and is really dedicated and then have to find another actor to play him and probably not as well.

Kevin: He just keeps getting asked the same questions over and over and over again, and always handles it like a champ.

Any reason why Infinity War isn't the end of Phase 3 and Ant-Man and the Wasp the start of Phase 4? Just curious because phase 1 and 2 had 6 movies and Phase 3 is going to wind up with like 10.

@THEDARKKNIGHT1939 - Phase 2 ended with Ant-Man.

@Roodi - Even if Phase 3 ended with Ant-Man and the Wasp, that still leaves Captain Marvel and Avengers 4 in Phase 3.

@THEDARKKNIGHT1939 - I think Phase 3 was originally meant to end with Infinity War as a two-part film. So basically, even though Avengers 4 is no longer called IF2, it is still the end of phase 3 as planned. The reason Phase 3 got longer is because some more films were added, namely Spider-Man Homecoming and Ant Man & Wasp.

@TheFamousJMC - right, I forgot about the added films that shifted the schedule.
