Deadpool & Wolverine is finally here and we are breaking down the ending of the hotly anticipated Marvel Studios sequel.
“Deadpool & Wolverine” is now in theaters, which means the agonizing wait to see Deadpool (Ryan Reynolds) and Wolverine (a returning Hugh Jackman) team up and go on an adventure across the multiverse is finally over. As has been teased, they travel around and run into friends new and old alike, facing down a bureaucratic villain within the TVA named Paradox (Matthew Macfadyen) and the evil twin of Charles Xavier, Cassandra Nova (Emma Corrin). It’s quite the odyssey!
But how does their journey wrap up?
Let’s get into it, but before we do, we must issue the strongest spoiler warning imaginable. If you haven’t watched the movie yet, please do so beforehand. This article will be here when you’re done. And you’ll get so much more out of it!
Early in the movie, we are introduced to the idea that Wade Wilson, aka Deadpool, is pulled out of his universe and put to use by the TVA. Paradox said that this is his opportunity – he can finally be a part of the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Maybe even join the Avengers! (Earlier in the movie, he has a job interview with Happy Hogan and it does not go well.) Of course, the downside to this is that his universe, Earth-10005, will be permanently deleted (like “Coyote vs. Acme”) because it has lost an “anchor being” – a person so monumental that when they die, the fabric of that existence starts to wither away: Wolverine. That sends Wade on an interdimensional hunt for another Wolverine to replace him and he comes back with the “worst” Wolverine.
Paradox wants to speed up the process of disappearing Wade’s timeline, and banishes Deadpool and Wolverine to the void – a dumping ground for forgotten or unused creatures, lorded over by a giant smoke monster last seen in “Loki” season 1.
