Disney does Deadpool: R-rated smart-mouth superhero could be Marvel's leading man after 'Avengers: Endgame'

Although"Avengers: Endgame" is being marketed as the conclusion to an epic 22-picture Marvel Studios' saga, it will not be the end of Disney and Marvel's cinematic universe. In fact, the Disney- Fox merger supplies Marvel Studios with a new roster of characters, including one highly popular name: Deadpool.

"There are clear upsides and intrigue around a potential meet-up between Deadpool and the Avengers, but it shouldn't be done just because they can," said Shawn Robbins, chief analyst for Boxoffice.com."Disney doesn't have any pressing need to mix Deadpool into their existing universe because it's proven enormously successful without him, and he without it. A managed coexistence could be just as or more lucrative.

In January 2018, as Hollywood watchers tried to assess how the Disney-Fox deal announced just a month earlier in December 2017 would play out, Fox made a three-year first look deal with Reynolds' Maximum Effort. The first picture that Reynolds was slated to produce under the deal was a live-action film based on the Hasbro board game"Clue," which Reynolds would write with his"Deadpool" co-writers, and which would also serve as a star vehicle for the actor.

How to position Deadpool is something Disney already is thinking through. And it is a question Wall Street has been wondering about since the Fox acquisition was announced.
