Deadpool & Wolverine 2 has continued to circle, it seems that the larger franchise may be taking some surprising cues from the world of the X-Men. This brings a few scenes from Deadpool & Wolverine forward as potentially being confusing.

Hugh Jackman and Ryan Reynolds were not announced as part of the surprising Marvel actors missing from Doomsday. However, there are just as many additions to the film that were totally unexpected, especially as their inclusion might contradict the ending of Deadpool & Wolverine.

Deadpool & Wolverine Was Supposed To End The Fox Era

The Film Ended With A Montage Of Fox Superhero Films

Deadpool & Wolverine was all about saving Deadpool's universe from destruction and, while this was achieved in the MCU X-Men movie to reboot the franchise. With even casting rumors about this reboot being spread around online, it seems that this is very close to happening.

The Deadpool & Wolverine also spent a great deal of time saying goodbye to the franchise. Behind-the-scenes looks at all kinds of Fox films were featured, including both eras of X-Men, Blade: Trinity, Daredevil and more. This heartwarming montage was set to "Good Riddance (Time of Your Life)" by Green Day, and seemed to say goodbye to Fox's superhero franchises. With that scene done, many did not expect to see any of those characters return again.

The Cast For The Next Avengers Film Includes Several Surprising X-Men Stars

This month saw production begin on Avengers: Doomsday, with the X-Men cast . Channing Tatum is perhaps the most surprising of the cast, after his recent turn as Gambit, but some of the more unexpected names include Ian McKellen, James Marsden, Rebecca Romjin, and Alan Cumming.

Notably, the Doomsday cast reveal did not provide answers as to whom each cast member will be playing, but the lineup makes it very likely that Magneto, Mystique, Cyclops, and Nightcrawler will be present in the new film. With Kesley Grammer returning after his The Marvels and Patrick Stewart coming back after Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness, it seems that the X-Men universe will be important to the events. This is surprising, as it seemed like the franchise was done with these characters.

While it's exciting to see what so many X-Men characters are doing in Avengers: Doomsday, it raises so many questions about the story of the film. Clearly, the ending of Deadpool & Wolverine did not wrap things up nearly as neatly as was expected. Future stories seem set to use many of these familiar characters and, while this may make the post-credits scene from Deadpool & Wolverine feel somewhat hollow, there is clearly more for these characters to do in this world.
