A major Loki character holds the key to Deadpool’s MCU arrival

Full spoilers for Loki season 1, Avengers 3, and Avengers 4 follow. Potential spoilers for Loki season 2 are also discussed.

Always since Deadpool iii was officially announced as a Curiosity Cinematic Universe (MCU) movie, fans take theorized as to how the wisecracking superhero will make the bound to the money-spinning franchise.

Well, wonder no more than, because information technology sounds like a major character from Loki’south Tv set evidence will play an integral role in how Deadpool (and Wolverine) will make their MCU debuts.

According to multiple Marvel leakers, including DanielRPK

and CanWeGetSomeToast
(opens in new tab), Owen Wilson’south Agent Mobius will take a big role in Deadpool three. In fact, the whole Time Variance Authorization (TVA) will take a major say in how The Merc With a Oral cavity’southward offset proper MCU outing will play out, although nobody knows plot specifics at this time.

Withal, information technology makes total sense why Amanuensis Mobius and the TVA will play major roles – if the rumor is true – in the forthcoming superhero movie.

For starters, Marvel Studios president Kevin Feige has already explained that Loki season ii will directly connect all three phases of the MCU’due south Multiverse Saga (per Marvel.com
(opens in new tab)). That includes Deadpool 3, which will either bookend Curiosity Stage 5 or begin Curiosity’s Phase 6 slate.

Kang the Conquistador – the MCU’s side by side primary villain – was also start introduced in Loki episode 6, aka the last entry in the evidence’s start season. So it’s unsurprising that Loki’s second flavour volition play a significant part in shaping the Multiverse Saga’s overarching narrative.

Just there’s far more to the connection between Deadpool 3 and Loki’southward TV evidence than simply Kang’due south MCU inflow. The TVA (and Amanuensis Mobius) were the sectionalisation that oversaw the MCU’southward Sacred Timeline, pruning whatever branching timelines that might have straight impacted it, and preventing whatever of the infinite number of universes from colliding with the MCU. These incidents are referred to equally Nexus events and occur when an individual tampers with the Sacred Timeline via their actions. In Loki’s example, this was stealing the Tessaract in 2012 during the Avengers’ time heist, which took place in 2023 during Avengers: Endgame, thus irresolute his entire MCU arc, including his death in Avengers: Infinity War.

The death of He Who Remains, one of Kang’s multiversal variants, in Loki’s season 1 finale on Disney Plus, resulted in the breaking down of barriers between the Curiosity multiverse’due south many timelines. Subsequently, the Sacred Timeline no longer exists and characters from across the Marvel multiverse are complimentary to cross over into the MCU.

This is where Deadpool 3 factors in. If Ryan Reynolds and Hugh Jackman’due south original incarnations of Deadpool and Wolverine drain over into the MCU – and the smart coin says this volition be the instance – they’ll present a major problem for the TVA. Why? Because they’re fourth dimension variants, i.due east. individuals who aren’t supposed to exist in the MCU, but who have crossed over from Fox’s at present defunct X-Men universe. Exist sure to read our guide on how to watch the X-Men movies in gild for more details on that obsolete film franchise.

While Sylvie, i of Loki’s variants, is to blame for the Sacred Timeline’s breakdown – remember, she killed He Who Remains in the MCU Phase iv TV series – it’s Mobius who is likely to be the culprit for Deadpool (and Wolverine) entering the MCU.

Based on what we know virtually Loki season 2, the god of mischief and Mobius will try to preclude time fully breaking downwardly as a result of Sylvie’s season i actions. Unfortunately for Loki, it seems he might not be completely useful in the boxing to salve the Sacred Timeline and stop Kang from acquisition the multiverse. A first trailer for Loki season ii was shown during Curiosity’s D23 Expo 2022 presentation, which confirmed the trickster god will be afflicted past a glitching illness. Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse fans will already know why this is happening to him.

Anyway, if Loki struggles to (literally) agree himself together, information technology may fall to Mobius to save the multiverse. And you lot already know he’ll want to do so, what with him being a big player in the TVA.

However, if he’due south unsuccessful in doing then, his actions could inadvertently pave the way for Deadpool and Wolverine to cross over into the MCU. That would exist a fantastic way of setting Deadpool 3’due south story upward, with the pair causing havoc across the MCU every bit Mobius and the TVA try to stop them. Hey, Deadpool already messed with his own timeline in Deadpool 2 – the film’s mid-credits scene is proof of that – so he has form for tinkering with chronological events.

If nosotros’re right in our assumptions, Mobius will take a large say in how Deadpool 3’s plot plays out. Nosotros don’t have insider information on either project, so don’t take any of this as gospel. But, if this ends up being correct, we’ll accept any plaudits that come our way.
