After the latest batch of Deadpool 3 set photos involving Sabretooth, many fans have been left asking whether Wade Wilson will end up killing the Fox Marvel universe characters in the film. Is Deadpool 3 bringing an infamous comic book storyline to life? Will Deadpool kill off Sabretooth? Here’s all you need to know.
Is Deadpool going to kill the Fox Universe in Deadpool 3?
After Sabretooth’s death being spoiled in the Deadpool 3 set photos, it’s theorized that the film will at least follow a version of “Deadpool kills the Fox Marvel Universe.”
Following the Disney-Fox merger, a rumor that originated in 2020 stated that Ryan Reynolds pitched a “Deadpool Kills the Fox Universe” movie to help transition his character into the main MCU.
The idea is based on Cullen Bunn’s 2012 comic book series, “Deadpool Kills the Marvel Universe,” and it makes sense for Deadpool to at least kill off the parts of the Fox X-Men universe that didn’t work in the past. Furthermore, it also allows him to have a fresh start in the MCU, by detaching his connections with the old Fox universe.
Now after seeing Deadpool holding Sabretooth’s decapitated head in the recent set photos, many fans believe that Deadpool might kill off many past Fox Marvel heroes and villains. After all, characters like Jennifer Garner’s Elektra, the old leading cast of X-Men (2000), and several others are confirmed and rumored to appear in Deadpool 3.
Until now, the rumored storyline of Deadpool 3 stated that it will start with the TVA recruiting heroes like Hugh Jackman’s Wolverine from the Multiverse to go up against Kang in the future. But, along the way, Deadpool (a prisoner at the TVA) will team up with Wolverine and go on a multiversal journey.
Since the two were seen battling Sabretooth in recently leaked images, it’s possible that they’d encounter multiple Fox characters from the past (or their variants) and possibly kill them off. That way, Deadpool 3 could bring the idea of “Deadpool kills the Fox Universe” to life.
Is Deadpool going to kill Sabretooth in Deadpool 3?
Despite Sabretooth’s healing factor, either Deadpool or Wolverine will manage to kill Sabretooth according to the latest set photos.
Looking at the leaked images, we can deduce that a Deadpool vs. Wolverine battle will be interrupted by Sabretooth. Then, the two heroes will battle the X-Men villain and one of them will sever his head.
We’ll find out what happens for real when Deadpool 3 arrives on July 26, 2024.
