The Marvel Cinematic Universe is in desperate need of a breath of fresh air and it seems like Deadpool & Wolverine vows to be just that. Continuing the Multiverse Saga, the film will see Hugh Jackman’s Wolverine reunite with Ryan Reynolds’ Deadpool, finally paving the way for the X-Men to get into the MCU. All in all, the fans have a ton of expectations from the film.

Fan Theory Explains How Wolverine Could be a Main Character in the MCU’s Future
The trailer for Deadpool & Wolverine was released on Marvel Entertainment and Ryan Reynolds’ YouTube channels and the views have already skyrocketed. Well, why wouldn’t they? We are finally getting the Deadpool-Wolverine team-up we have been dying for! However, the Wolverine seen in the trailer seems to be a different variant than the one we have grown up watching.
This Wolverine is going through a depressive episode in his life and the trailer opens with him in a bar where the bartender tells him, “I told you, you’re not welcome here. You’re not welcome anywhere.” The trailer then goes on to reveal just why Hugh Jackman’s character is depressed that he isn’t deterred by Deadpool’s threats of blowing his brains out. After meeting with the Time Variance Authority, it is disclosed that “This Wolverine let down his entire world.”
Clearly, something horrible has happened to this Wolverine’s universe and he somehow played a part in it. Now a fan theory by Austin Verse suggests that Kong saw the mutants as a huge obstacle in his quest to conquer the multiverse which is why the trailer showed “so many mutants in the void.” As per the theory, Wolverine acts as an “anchor of his universe” and when Kang removed him, it caused his world to “crumble over time.”
Verse adds that if this theory has some truth to it, it can nicely tie into the multiverse plotline of the MCU and “set Logan up to be a main character in Secret Wars.” He also added that this theory perfectly explains why Cassandra Nova was coming after Wolverine as she holds him responsible for destroying their world. Read the entire theory below:
#DeadpoolandWolverine THEORY 🚨
Wolverine is the anchor of his universe. Kang removed him from this world and this caused it to crumble over time. Kang may see the mutants as his biggest threat in conquering the multiverse. Maybe that’s why we see so many mutants in the void.… pic.twitter.com/YxDGK1N1C7

Honestly, the theory seems to be incredible in how it strings everything together. Only time will tell if Verse’s thoughts were right on the mark or if the MCU is one step ahead of all of us.
Jonathan Majors and Kang’s Future in the MCU
Owing to a domestic incident with his ex-girlfriend Grace Jabbari last year, Jonathan Majors was found guilty of assault and harassment. He was later sentenced to one year of an in-person domestic violence intervention program and managed to avoid jail time.
Things didn’t end there for Majors as he also ended up being dropped by the Marvel Studios despite playing the big bad villain of MCU’s Phases 4 through 6. Now, the question is, what’s next for Kang the Conqueror now that Majors is out of the picture?
Well, according to a report by The Hollywood Reporter, Marvel Studios are rewriting their films and Kang will either be given a minimized role or be cut out completely. Further, the film that was once known as Avengers: The Kang Dynasty will now be renamed to exclude Kang’s name from the subtitle.
Needless to say, Kang’s future in the MCU is not clear yet. Fans will just have to wait and watch the events unfold.
Deadpool & Wolverine releases in theatres on July 26, 2024.
