Deadpool & Wolverine has undeniably become a fan favorite in the Marvel Cinematic Universe’s Multiverse Saga, raking in over $1.33 billion at the box office. While it may not surpass Spider-Man: No Way Home‘s record-breaking numbers, the film’s success and critical acclaim have sparked discussions about a potential sequel.
The demand for more Deadpool and Wolverine on screen is undeniable. Fans loved seeing these iconic characters interact, and the film’s ending, which left Wolverine stranded in Deadpool’s reality (Earth-10005), practically begs for a follow-up.
A sequel could also address some of the plot holes that arose from merging the Fox and MCU timelines. While Deadpool & Wolverine masterfully navigated this complex challenge, a sequel could further refine the narrative and explore the consequences of these characters’ actions.
Rumors of a Deadpool & Wolverine 2 have surfaced from reliable insider sources, though Marvel has yet to officially confirm any plans. It’s unclear where a sequel would fit into the current Multiverse Saga schedule, especially considering the upcoming Avengers films and the confirmed Spider-Man 4.

However, recent reports suggest that Deadpool and Wolverine may have roles in Avengers: The Kang Dynasty and Avengers: Secret Wars. This aligns with the overarching narrative of the Multiverse Saga, as these characters, having saved their timeline from destruction, could be crucial in the fight against Kang and the larger multiverse threats.
A sequel could delve deeper into the timeline discrepancies created by Wolverine remaining in an alternate reality. It could also explore the ramifications of the TVA’s awareness of these characters and their potential impact on the multiverse.
Looking beyond the Multiverse Saga, rumors suggest that Marvel plans to merge various timelines after Secret Wars, potentially paving the way for the introduction of the X-Men into the MCU. With Hugh Jackman expressing his willingness to continue playing Wolverine and the potential for a Mutants Saga on the horizon, a Deadpool & Wolverinesequel focused on the X-Men could be an exciting prospect.
While the possibility of Deadpool & Wolverine 2 is certainly exciting, it’s important to remember that these are still just rumors. We’ll have to wait for official confirmation from Marvel before getting our hopes up. In the meantime, Hugh Jackman’s continued dedication to maintaining his Wolverine physique might be the biggest clue that we haven’t seen the last of these beloved characters on the big screen.
