Wade’s Stakes
We cut back to the birthday party that opened the first teaser, where Wade, Vanessa (Morena Baccarin), and the rest of their friends (and a good couple members of the ill-fated X-Force team, Shatterstar and Peter, played by Lewis Tan and Rob Delany, respectively) celebrate his birthday. “I’m about to lose everything I’ve ever cared about,” Wade tells Logan, to which he replies that it’s not his problem.
Of course, Multiverse of Madness introduced us to the MCU’s take on incursions—where two realities in the multiverse smash into each other, wiping them both out. In the comics, it’s this slow and steady death of the multiverse that lead to the second Secret Wars event, and with it the re-jiggering of Marvel’s prime reality of Earth-616 and the seeming death of the Ultimate universe, Earth-1610 (it got better, this is comics we’re talking about). Now, as the MCU sets the stage for its own riff on Secret Wars, it looks like Deadpool’s take on the Fox X-Men universe is under threat now too—presumably that’s why the TVA pulls him in, to either save it or to uplift him to its own “sacred” version of Earth-616.
