Many fans are eager to know about the ending of Deadpool & Wolverine, particularly as the film’s conclusion has left numerous questions and theories swirling. Deadpool & Wolverine’s climax packs action, dramatic twists, and surprising revelations that shape the characters’ futures.
Here’s everything you need to know about the ending of Deadpool & Wolverine, featuring spoilers and a detailed breakdown of the movie’s conclusion.
What happens at the end of Deadpool & Wolverine?
After defeating their adversaries, Deadpool and Wolverine manage to survive at the end and are shown celebrating together by having shawarma.
At the end of the movie, Deadpool and Wolverine confront Cassandra Nova to stop her from using the Time Ripper to destroy the multiverse. With their allies, they storm Cassandra’s lair and use Juggernaut’s helmet to suppress her powers. Laura (X-23) manages to retrieve the helmet and throws it to Deadpool, who places it on Cassandra’s head.
However, Pyro, who had made a deal with Paradox to kill Cassandra, fires several shots at her. Logan decides not to kill Cassandra, realizing she is their only way out of the Void. Instead, she uses a sling ring to open a portal to Earth-10005 but attempts to destroy the multiverse. She sends regenerating Deadpool variants to fight Deadpool and Wolverine. Peterpool arrives and distracts the variants, allowing Deadpool and Wolverine to reach Paradox.
Paradox explains that shutting down the Time Ripper requires creating an energy bridge between its matter and antimatter power sources, which would likely result in death. Wolverine, feeling guilty for not saving his own world, wants to do it. However, Deadpool locks him out and hitches himself to the power sources.
As Deadpool begins to disintegrate, Wolverine breaks down the door, grabs Deadpool’s hand, and strengthens the bridge. Together, they cause the Time Ripper to explode, resulting in an unexpected casualty.
Toward the end, Deadpool and Wolverine can be seen having shawarma. Logan initially plans to leave but ends up joining Deadpool’s group of friends, including Blind Al. This ending places Deadpool and Wolverine in the Fox universe, now part of the MCU multiverse, setting the stage for future interactions while keeping them in their distinct timeline.
What happens to Paradox and will he return?
In Deadpool & Wolverine, TVA agent B-15 apprehends Paradox after he fails to end the multiverse. The evolving MCU storyline suggests he might reappear in future narratives due to his unresolved threads and complex background, even though his immediate threat is neutralized.
What happens to Cassandra Nova and will she return?
Cassandra Nova meets her end when Deadpool and Wolverine successfully shut down the Time Ripper. The explosion annihilates Nova, conclusively eliminating her threat. The film portrays her disintegration as definitive, leaving no chance for survival in future MCU installments. However, in the Marvel multiverse, characters can reappear in alternate timelines or different forms, allowing for endless possibilities.
What happens to Blade, Gambit, Elektra, and Laura (X-23)?
In the movie, Blade, Gambit, Elektra, and Laura (X-23) join Deadpool and Wolverine in a high-stakes battle against Cassandra Nova. They successfully defeat many of Nova’s henchmen and play key roles in using Juggernaut’s helmet against her. However, Alioth, a powerful entity, arrives and seemingly devours them, leaving their fate uncertain.
Following the TVA’s arrest of Paradox, Deadpool asks if there is any chance to rescue his allies. The TVA agent responds that they will “see what they can do,” leaving the ultimate fate of Blade, Gambit, Elektra, and X-23 up in the air.
Interestingly, Wade’s gathering later features Laura / X-23, suggesting she was either saved or is a variant from another timeline. This hints at a potential resolution or alternate timeline involvement for her, but the others’ destinies remain unresolved.
