Why A Deadpool & Spider-Man Movie Would Be Perfect For The MCU
WithTom Holland’s Spider-Man 4still being developed, a Deadpool and Spider-Man movie would be a perfect installment for him after his upcoming sequel. Right now, Peter Parker is on his own after everyone was made to forget him due to Doctor Strange’s spell at the end ofSpider-Man: No Way Home.Spider-Man 4will likely see him go through a very rough patch as he is now having to navigate a world where he doesn’t have any friends or family.
However, once he has faced this emotional journey inSpider-Man 4, a Deadpool and Spider-Man team-up could be a lot more fitting. Not only would it be fun to see Peter meet someone like Wade, but this could introduce a new concept for Spider-Man’s live-action legacy, as Deadpool could literally show him the power of breaking the fourth wall. A Deadpool and Spider-Man movie would also fit the direction for Peter in the MCU, as Marvel is seemingly looking to explore more of his street-level side.
Having Reynolds and Holland working together would also be one of the biggest collaborations for the MCU, especially afterDeadpool & Wolverine. However, it would likely not be until Phase 7, at the very earliest, that a project like that could happen, since Marvel Studios is focusing on wrapping up The Multiverse Saga. Hopefully, sinceDeadpool & Wolverineis on track to be a box office success for Marvel Studios, it will allow something like a Deadpool and Spider-Man movieto become a reality.
