Marvel Animation’s upcoming Marvel Zombies series is the best place for Deadpool & Wolverine’s strangest Deadpool variant to be explored in more detail. Even though Marvel Zombies is expected to be set in an alternate timeline to the main continuity of the MCU, the much anticipated series will still include several characters that have already been seen in live-action. Marvel Zombies’ cast of characters includes the likes of Ms. Marvel, Shang-Chi, Yelena Belova and more, and could now include none other than Deadpool himself.
Set primarily in the Void at the End of Time, Deadpool & Wolverine introduced some brilliant and entertaining variants of its titular heroes. While Wolverine’s variants called back to some major Marvel Comics stories, Deadpool’s variants mostly comprised the Deadpool Corps, who worked for Emma Corrin’s villainous Cassandra Nova. Members such as Lady Deadpool, Babypool, Zenpool and Deadpool 2099 were fantastic to see in live-action, but one variant, in particular, has a clear path to return to the MCU and get more development.
I Can’t Believe We Missed Out On The Best Deadpool & Wolverine Variant But I Know How He Can Join The MCU
The first look at the major variant that was cut from Deadpool & Wolverine reveals what was lost, but there’s a way for him to still come to the MCU.
Among the Deadpool Corps was Headpool, an undead decapitated version of Deadpool from an alternate world, who flies around using small helicopter blades, and has retained the ability to speak. Headpool is one of the weirdest characters not only seen in Deadpool & Wolverine, but in the entire MCU. In Marvel Comics, Headpool originates in the Marvel Zombies universe, which inspired Marvel Animation’s What If…? season 1, episode 5, “What If… Zombies?!,” and will be revisited in the MCU’s upcoming Marvel Zombies series.
Prior to
Deadpool & Wolverine’s
release, some theorized Headpool could be the version of Deadpool who was decapitated in 2009’s
X-Men Origins: Wolverine
, but this iteration of the character was not mentioned at all.
After Deadpool & Wolverine, Marvel Zombies has the perfect opportunity to answer some burning questions concerning Headpool. Deadpool & Wolverine did nothing to explain where this variant was from, why he is the way he is, or what he did to get pruned by the Time Variance Authority and sent to the Void. Headpool was a prominent member of the Deadpool Corps in Marvel Comics, so it was great to see him included in Deadpool & Wolverine, but his debut in the MCU has raised more questions about Marvel Zombies’ world that need to be answered in the series.
Marvel Zombies Can Establish Deadpool As A Prominent Character In The MCU After Deadpool & Wolverine’s Success
If Headpool appears in Marvel Zombies, perhaps even being given a pivotal role in the upcoming series, Marvel Studios could begin to establish Deadpool as a central character in the MCU. This would be beneficial for his eventual merging with the MCU and joining with Marvel’s notable heroes, as he is still currently residing in Earth-10005. After Deadpool & Wolverine’s monumental success, there’s no doubt Ryan Reynolds will be back as the Merc with a Mouth, and this could be hinted at again if Headpool returns in Marvel Zombies.
