History WMG / Deadpool2016

[[WMG: Deadpool isn't breaking the Fourth Wall...]]
* ... He's just insane. What if part of his insanity is constantly talking to nobody, looking into space questioning what was happening, rather than trying to respond to the audience?
** This is sort of the case in the comics, I think. At least that's what everyone around him assumes (that he's just crazy and his fourth-wall breaking is just [[NonSequitur random nonsense]]). But if that's the case, what about Deadpool interacting with the camera twice (getting gum stuck on the lens while in the back of Dopinder's cab, and turning the camera away before he tortures The Recruiter)?
*** Not to mention the fast-forwarding gag.
** I think it's sort of confirmed, since Colossus says "I can hear you Wade" right after one of the "time stop" scenes, implying that he could hear what deadpool was narrating to the audience
*** Really, it's both; Deadpool ''can'' break the fourth wall, but he'll sometimes end up blurting out his audience-directed inner monologues loud enough for other characters to hear. This is actually a pretty time-honored comedic device, to the point where we already [[DidIJustSayThatOutLoud have a page for it]].
** It's an interesting theory, but...how does it explain scenes and jokes where he PHYSICALLY messes around with the camera?

And the Fourth Wall will be utterly obliterated.
* Supposedly, Marvel Studios has the rights to the character. So unless a deal is worked out, this isn't likely.

Because what's a Deadpool movie without cranking the meta UpToEleven?

It's just that unlike most mutants, she was born with complete control. She could use them anytime she wanted... if she knew she had them.
* Alternatively, her mutation was triggered during the final battle. Her [[PowerCopying powers then copied Wade's]] HealingFactor, which is how she survived the fall off the carrier unscathed.

And the 2011 ''Green Lantern'' movie exists in-universe as well. When Wade says "Please don't make the super-suit green, or animated!" it's because he's aware of how oddly similar he looks to Ryan Reynolds, and since he's about to become a superhero [[spoiler:(he thinks)]] it's only natural that the one instance where Reynolds played a superhero would be on his mind.
** Makes sense, considering the (admittedly fourth wall) reference to Batman and Robin and the [[Film/XMenOriginsWolverine Dudepeel]] action figure.

Both the test footage and GuardiansOfTheGalaxy were released on August 1st, 2014. It's probably not much of a stretch to say that the execs looked at the completely unpredicted success of GuardiansOfTheGalaxy (another Comic Book Movie that was outside the traditional wheelhouse for the genre) and the very positive reaction to the test footage, and decided that giving Deadpool a shot with a comparatively-low budget ($58 million, 29% of X-Men: Days of Future Past's budge) on a shot in the dark wasn't too large a risk.

Cable will appear as a time traveler trying to prevent the events of Film/XMenApocalypse but won't go back far enough, leaving him stuck with Deadpool.
* That would be a nice way to explain his absence from that movie...
Cable will be played by different actors, as his interference with the time stream affects his personal history. He could very well be played by ''both'' DolphLundgren and KeiraKnightley

There'll be a running gag about how the success of the first movie means they can afford so many more characters. Cable and Deadpool will meet with Wolverine to get a key piece of information. Cable will get the information, while Deadpool dances around spastically, ranting about how awesome it is that he's finally important enough to get Wolverine in his movie...then Cable will literally have to drag him away, kicking and screaming...
* They might also make a ShoutOut to his cameo in First Class by having them run into him in a bar and him dropping an F-bomb...only for Deadpool to inform him that since they're in an R-rated movie they don't have to hold back on the swearing.

[[WMG: 20th Century Fox will release a PG-13 cut of the movie...]]
... and it will have Deadpool taking constant jabs at MoralGuardians, complaining that he can't be as crude and violent as he was in the R-rated cut, and hanging lampshades on the idea of parents taking their kids to see a movie completely meant for mature audiences (all while staying clean enough for a PG-13 rating, of course).
* Maybe it'll be part of the DVD/Blu-ray extras.
* Also, every swear is dubbed over with some variant of "chimichanga".

* The PG-13 cut mentioned above.

Feel free to come up with more below.

[[WMG: In the subtitles of the DVD/Blu-ray, Deadpool's lines will be in yellow while everyone else's will be in white.]]
If they really want to go the extra mile, they'll put Deadpool's lines in a yellow narration box.

[[WMG: At least one version of the home release will have the disc made to look like a completely different movie, with the "real" name scrawled out and replaced in simulated Sharpie.]]

* Because who doesn't like a good case of Logan/Deadpool banter? Heck, even Creator/RyanReynolds wants it to happen.
** Add in a 'who heals better' competition between the two, and a shout out to ''Origins'', and you're set.
*** And finally, Deadpool will try to sewn wolverine's mouth. For revenge!
* Jossed with the release of the movie.
** Or better yet, almost in absolute flesh but was merely a picture of his face on a piece of cardboard paper.

[[WMG: With the film being confirmed as an R-rated movie, there is going to be a lot of more gruesome antics going on than with most Marvel Films. Most notably:]]

** All confirmed as of the ''very first trailer''.
** Also, all present in the film itself (tons of F-bombs, both male and female nudity as well as an actual sex scene, tons of blood and several decapitations, and a lot of adult humor).

* Confirmed. The 'Deadpool' of X-Men Origins is crapped on, and Reynolds' own career is not safe, to the extent of Wade claiming that Reynold's level of talent is ''not'' the reason he's an actor.

** Doesn't happen exactly, but the [[CreativeClosingCredits opening credits are something to behold]].
** And a cartoon Deadpool does provide occasional commentary on the closing credits (as well as [[RefugeInAudacity jerking off a unicorn horn to produce rainbow sparkles]]).

** Barakapool has an appearance, but only as an action figure and a TakeThat.

** The whole post credits scene will be the cast eating Chimichangas, even characters who died. Someone will comment that the food sucks and Deadpool will comment that Fox really cheaped out on them with this one.
* Confirmed. [[spoiler:The post-credits sequence is effectively a reference to the post-credits scene in Ferris Bueller's Day Off... although Deadpool does do what all the post-credits scenes tend to do, tease an element of the sequel, by saying that they're going to have Cable in Deadpool 2, even though they haven't even started casting yet.]]

** Jossed. The closest thing we get to an MCU reference is [[spoiler: the finale taking place on what is ''blatantly'' a Helicarrier, only never referred to as such. Also, Bob, Agent of HYDRA is obliquely referenced]].
** And yet confirmed in TheStinger when Wade claims there's no way they could afford Creator/SamuelLJackson. In an eyepatch. And sexy leather duster.
*** This is just part of the NoBudget RunningGag throughout the film. Deadpool never remarks about the film rights issue, so this is still Jossed.

He already made fun of ''Film/XMenOriginsWolverine'' and ''Film/GreenLantern''.
* Bonus points if he also compares it to ''Film/{{Chronicle}}''.

* Jossed. [[TakeThat They could only afford 2 X-Men]].
** Deadpool is also uncertain if he's being played by Patrick Stewart or James [=McAvoy=] in this timeline.

Stupidly long shot, and I'm only putting it here for the sake of being able to hypothetically claim to have called it. But basically the idea is: Andre Tricoteux is playing Cable. In order to cover this up in the trailer, they extended the CGI on his metal arm to cover his entire body. It's an elaborate cover-up to ensure at least one surprise. This idea is, of course, stupid on multiple levels. But imagine if it were true.
* This is likely untrue since it's been confirmed Colossus was already present in the past iterations of the script.

** Deadpool does actively declare that her codename is amazing, geeks out over her power, and [[spoiler:the two develop a decent enough rapport by the end of the film, to the point she declares ''he's'' cool]].

** Jossed. The pair actually get along.

** Jossed, or at least not really explored. The additional depth to Colossus' character appears to be that he actually ''talks'' for a change, and his role is basically the earnest, heroic straight man to Wade, espousing the awesomeness of being a hero.
*** Also Wade, after attempting a below the belt shot on Colossus, says he feels sorry for Colossus's wife.
*** He also tells Colossus to "suck a cock" at one point. Clearly Wade's just insulting Colossus for the sake of it, and no actual commentary on Colossus' sexuality is being made.

* He could kill a guy by smashing his head through the fourth wall.

[[WMG: Deadpool will actively point out Stan Lee during his cameo...]]
...and he'll recognize Deadpool as Ryan Reynolds, leaving ''him'' confused and speechless.
* Jossed, though the cameo is still pretty great.
** And lampshaded in the opening credits as "A Gratuitous Cameo"

** And yet confirmed in TheStinger when Wade claims there's no way the could afford SamuelLJackson. In an eyepatch. And sexy leather duster.

Wade wasn't kidding. That's seriously who they want for the part. It's gonna be... different from the comics.

All Wade had to do was get a knife embedded into his brain.

[[WMG: Deadpool isn't breaking the Fourth Wall...]]

[[WMG: It all takes place in Deadpool's head or Deadpool wrote it]]
* It would explain the changes to his origin to make him seem more heroic as well as the way that the X-men want to recruit him when it was the other way around in the comics

In the comics the source of Wade's healing factor was from being treated with Wolverine's blood. In the movie, when he's being injected with the mutation chemical, Ajax also adds an ampoule of some straw coloured liquid that appears to have specks of blood in it.

[[folder:Pre-release WMGs]]

In the books, Wade Wilson received his powers from Weapon Plus, the same government-funded military program which bonded Wolverine's skeleton with adamantium. However the workshop which Wade is taken to in the film appears to lack that sort of oversight. While the Facility has some links to Weapon Plus in terms of research and personnel in the books, it's otherwise an independent civilian-operated venture. The fact that Axis tells him that they create super ''slaves'' they sell to the highest bidder (as opposed to weapons for the military) also better fits the modus operandi of the Facility, particularly as the government would ''not'' like its assets being sold to private buyers. Furthermore, the method by which Wade received his powers in the film — torture until his own innate mutation activates, rather than having his HealingFactor artificially grafted as in the books — shares much more in common with how Comicbook/{{X 23}}'s mutation was forcibly activated (poisoned with lethal doses of radiation until it kicked in).

* They might also make a ShoutOut to his cameo in First Class by having them run into him in a bar and him dropping an F-bomb...only for Deadpool to inform him that since they're in an R-rated movie they don't have to hold back on the swearing.

** Jossed. The closest thing we get to an MCU reference is [[spoiler: the finale taking place on what is ''blatantly'' a Helicarrier, only never referred to as such. Also, Bob, Agent of Hydra is obliquely referenced]].

** Deadpool is also uncertain if he's being played by Patrick Stewart or James Mc Avoy in this timeline.

* Jossed. Although Deadpool does [[spoiler:physically move the camera]] in one scene.
