What’s To Come of Deadpool

Now that Disney is one step closer to world dominance thanks to their acquisition of Fox, and now that Deadpool has been officially announced as part of the plans for the MCU Phase 5, fans have a lot to wonder. For starters, the kind of language commonly associated with the Merc With a Mouth isn’t exactly Disney appropriate. But if dumbed down for the larger audience and to meet the standards for the rest of the MCU’s offerings, will some of the magic from the first two films be lost?

While promoting Hobbes & Shaw, his latest offering, Deadpool 2 director David Leitch had this to say on the matter: “It’s rated R so that’s not necessarily the [MCU] brand but he doesn’t necessarily need to be R and [Disney] don’t necessarily need to only make PG-13 movies,” Leitch told Yahoo Movies UK. “I think we’ll find a happy ground.”

Leitch isn’t the only one weighing in on the R-rated raunchiness of Deadpool’s antics. Back in February Disney CEO Bob Eiger said “We see that there is certainly popularity amongst Marvel fans for the R-rated Deadpool films,” and, “We’re going to continue in that business and there might be room for more of that.”

Clearly, only time will tell what’s to come of the foul-mouthed mercenary and his ragtag group of friends, but one way or another we’re definitely looking forward to seeing Deadpool reunite with the rest of his MCU family.
