Not to over-explain a gag but beneath Feige’s elemental enactment is simply a list. A database that Wade Wilson references in Deadpool & Wolverine. A database of codification names for cocaine usage which Marvel made to guarantee they didn’t gaffe immoderate into the movie arsenic a joke. Which, of course, is the joke.

But erstwhile and how? You person to deliberation upcoming Avengers movies would beryllium the astir likely. Or, Marvel does person 2 films already dated for after Avengers: Secret Wars successful 2027. That could beryllium a bully clip for Deadpool to erstwhile again shingle up the MCU.

Let america cognize erstwhile you deliberation the mutants volition beryllium backmost and however precocious their container bureau tin go.
