Is love truly a battlefield, even for the seemingly unshakeable duo of Wade Wilson and Vanessa? Well, rumor mills are abuzz, and it looks like Deadpool & Wolverine, affectionately dubbed Deadpool 3, is poised to upend tables and break the franchise’s cherished central romance, leaving us to wonder—are Wade and Vanessa simply playing at being ‘just friends’, or has Cupid hung up his bow for these two?
We certainly were as taken aback as anyone when sources, following a trailer for Shawn Levy’s film that hit us like a ton of bricks, confirmed what some eagle-eyed fans suspected. It was clear: Wade Wilson and Vanessa are no longer an item in Deadpool & Wolverine.
Yes, it means Morena Baccarin will grace us with her presence as Vanessa once again, but hold your horses—Entertainment Weekly has shed light on a six-year jump since we last left our foul-mouthed hero. But didn’t she die in the second installment of the movie?
How Is Morena Baccarin’s Vanessa Alive in Deadpool 3?
Ah, the drama in the Marvel universe never ceases to amaze us! The latest gossip is that Deadpool & Wolverine is shaking things up by breaking up the central romance between Wade Wilson and Vanessa.
So, we learned from EW that the forthcoming flick is set six years after the events of Deadpool 2. Moreover, Ryan Reynolds’ Wade is no longer seeing Vanessa (Morena Baccarin) and appears to be happy—if a little depressed—working as a car salesman.
We never thought we’d see the day when Wade and Vanessa would part ways. It’s like Batman without Robin or peanut butter without jelly—they just belong together. Could this moment have been a foreshadowing of the events to come in Deadpool 3?
The recent trailer for the movie has been released, and moviegoers may be surprised to see Vanessa at Wade’s birthday celebration. So we have the very spoiler-filled explanation for why Deadpool’s girlfriend Vanessa is still alive in the Deadpool 3 trailer.
Wade first laid eyes on Vanessa in the first Deadpool movie, and the two fell in love before Wade turned into the Merc with a Mouth. Even though their romance blossomed to the next level at the start of Deadpool 2, she was unexpectedly killed & did not reappear until the post-credit scene, in which Wade altered history to save her life.
The Latest Deadpool & Wolverine Update Has Got Fans in A Funk
Although Deadpool 3’s cameo makes things a little more unclear, Deadpool and Wolverine’s place in the Marvel timeline should be clear-cut. In his next movie, Deadpool will be a part of the MCU canon, but before he joins Disney, some of the story will take place in Fox’s Marvel universe.
Director Shawn Levy claimed that the upcoming Deadpool & Wolverine film will incorporate the same time jump, even though Deadpool 2 was released six years ago. He clarified the film’s setting and Wade Wilson’s current situation in an interview with Total Film (via Collider).
It takes place six years after the last film. He’s proving to be useless at selling cars, hawking Blind Al’s blood-pressure meds to make rent, and his beloved Vanessa has a new boyfriend.”
The fact that the movie takes place six years after its predecessor is not shocking. A few cameos, such as Vanessa’s, however, will leave viewers wondering about the events that happened in the second film. If this cameo is canonical and not just a joke, it raises a lot of questions about Deadpool’s place in comic history. Let’s have a look at a few comments left by fans:
In a recent interview with Morena Baccarin (via Screen Rant), the actress behind Vanessa, she hinted at a new chapter for Wade and Vanessa in Deadpool 3:
I think it’s really cool that they are such well-met characters. You can see them in and out of each other’s lives constantly. The comic, it’s the same way.
It seems that while their relationship status may have changed, the bond between these two characters remains as strong as ever. But that’s not all, as Hugh Jackman is set to reprise his role as Wolverine in the highly anticipated film. With a star-studded cast and a talented team behind the scenes, Deadpool 3 is shaping up to be a wild ride filled with twists & turns.
So mark your calendars for July 26, 2024, and get ready to see a love story like no other play out in Deadpool 3.
