Here's Why The X-Men Were Only A Cameo In Deadpool 2

[@nex5691]

Someone made a theory that Charles used his powers to make the school empty so Deadpool wouldn’t harm or fuck around with the the mutant students and also to make it seem that colossus, ngstw, and yukio are the only ppl there

[@bigrobfromthev]

I like that theory

That's definitely something Charles would do.

[@BillRanter]

Looking back at the dumpster fire that is Dark Phoenix, they should have all acted in Deadpool 2 instead 😅

[@mangareader7474]

Yes they should

[@jeffreytrester9111]

This is my opinion and u are entitled to yours of course but I really liked dark Phoenix...especially the train scene...what was so bad about it

[@BillRanter]

@jeffreytrester9111 hey I don't doubt that some people appreciate the movie, just that it was painfully rushed, and poorly written. One thing that really bugged me with that movie was the inclusion of the aliens. Like where did they come from? That was the first time aliens had ever been mentioned in the whole X-Men cinematic world of like 8+ movies, they felt like a very odd addition especially because we never even get to know what exactly their goal was. It's more frustrating because they were supposed to be a big part of the movie. I have a lot of issues with that movie (like that anti-climatic ending) but my major problem was with the aliens.

My dude it’s a cameo not a visit to Las Vegas 😂 that would’ve cost a ridiculous amount for the time it lasted, and no one there was as generous as Brad Pitt having a 2 second cameo for a cup of coffee

i know right imagine.

[@Chee.Y4ng]

The X-men would’ve looked in their 50’s but it’s okay, it’s Deadpool

[@lozzipop4025]

Deadpool does state how confusing the timelines are for the X-Men, so I think the First Class X-Men was meant to just be a joke or something.

[@Chee.Y4ng]

@@lozzipop4025 yeah I figured when I watched the movie a few times when it came out

[@randomgeekcrap]

And yet Deadpool had more respect for the X-Men source material and comic's then all the other X-Men fox movie's

[@Ezullof]

I mean, that's also because Deadpool is literally a meta joke on the original material. We've seen what happens when they try to take some liberties with the character - it just doesn't work anymore. But more importantly, that movie wouldn't even exist if the inaccurate X-Men movies didn't happen before and popularized these guys to the general public.

[@hashimashadoo]

Though Reynolds did get to hang out with Olivia Munn in 2015 for the filming of the first Deadpool movie, since both it and X-Men: Apocalypse were both filming in Canada, and Reynolds and Munn were both trained in swordplay by the same instructor at the same time.

[@Boing2699]

Oh that’s actually so cool!!

[@FlamingoKicker]

Wouldn't they have to have used the older versions of the X-Men? Deadpool exists in the present so it would be Patrick Stewart.

[@cptsteele91]

Evidently that wasn't a huge concern

[@nathanjordon6950]

They were just there for the sake of a gag. I mean the Deadpool movies are constantly breaking the fourth wall and going outside of cannon. They aren't really concerned about continuity.

[@scatman786]

No, that version of the X-Men were killed off before the events of the movie Logan, after Professor X had a seizure

[@EFCLARK]

Funfact: The Xmen First Class cast shouldnt've been there considering they were from an earlier timeline [ sorry for being THAT guy😅].

[@rubberneckinc.8937]

No it's okay

[@moxiemaxie3543]

They don't have to. It's not obligated

[@Eris_Strife]

Not only that, but they had the completely wrong lineup. It should have been Jean, Scott, Hank, Bobby and Warren (Marvel Girl, Cyclops, Beast, Iceman and Angel). On top of that, Alex (Havok) is Scott's little brother, not his older brother.

[@merlokden5844]

Given that other people are being toxic about it (attention deficit mode) in a really underdeveloped. It's nice that you apologised, but you really should have just not posted.

[@FlamingoKicker]

I'm happy to be THAT guy

[@kelleyk28]

I liked the way they did it. It was much funnier that way.

[@petermatthews3729]

Those six most iconic X-Men in Deadpool 2 were barely in one scene and didn't even have a speaking role. It still fits with the theory that the movie doesn't have the budget to pay for a full cameo from more X-men.

[@ricardoeugenecampher2248]

It never made sense why they used those Xmen the time period didn't match up

[@matthewkreps3352]

All we know for certain is that the first Deadpool movie takes place in 2018, 2006, 1994, or 1982. Why these years? Because Vanessa mentions that it's the Year of the Dog during the Calendar Girl scene.

[@ricardoeugenecampher2248]

@@matthewkreps3352 so the modern cellphones didn't tip you off that it's on our time period while The Xmen shown are from the late 80s early 90s

[@merlokden5844]

That's the point. It's Deadpool. There's a literal f*cking line earlier on that the scene in question is playing on.

[@omarxperez]

@@ricardoeugenecampher2248 they’re probably after Dark Phoenix movie happens since Jean isn’t there with them so it’s most likely mid 90’s now since DP is in the early 90’s from what i can remember but it rlly doesn’t matter bc the timelines never makes sense so

[@ncreson]

[@singleasasin]

Deadpool OG remains an awesome movie ! ... 😊👍

[@ttjc3696]

Honestly the rest of them weren’t necessary given that Negasonic and Colossus. Every X-man isn’t needed on every mission and though Juggernaut is a threat the team that was sent was exactly the team needed.

[@DavidHodgesKU11]

Well the quote is from the first Deadpool and the clip of them in the mansion is from Deadpool 2. One might think they, being different movies, had different budgets.

[@lukasjacob3721]

Thank you, finally someone who points that out...

[@radrno7]

Why not just... put Evan Peters making a quick joke how he only showed up after they beat Juggernaut? Or maybe greenscreen the floating head of James McAvoy as a vision telling Deadpool how to stop Russell before someone asks who he's talking to? Or Tye Sheridan on a window telling Deadpool to turn his phone off and Deadpool replying for Cable's dad to shut up? So many possibilities...

[@ScrimmyScrimmy]

Professor x cannot go into Deadpool's mind. When he does it kills him because he finds out he's in a comic book and can't take it. Since Deadpool can break the fourth wall going in his head ruins Xavier.

[@iangreen4572]

i thought it was because Deadpool and the X-men films were franchises with different studios.

[@dccomicsfan-rl1wl]

No they're with fox😂

[@lukasjacob3721]

​@@dccomicsfan-rl1wlthey were FOX, now they're all Disney.

[@insertfunnyhandlehere]

And also wouldn't have made sense for a Deadpool story to end with him getting all the help. Most of his team of stories end with him only getting bare minimum help but still managing to get through it in the end in some crazy wacky way he can't do that if he has a whole superpowered war vet team behind

[@Cloud_Strife0811]

The comment Deadpool made about the studio not being able to afford any other X-Men is from the first movie, not the second. I just love how y'all take information and twist it around to suit y'all's needs.

[@kurthaas4331]

It's a freaking fourth wall joke. That's all it is. No theory. No cameo. Just some Deadpool smart assary.

[@CJBTYT]

Imagine how much time, money and resources they would have saved if they all just did a cameo in Deadpool 2, instead of doing the Dark Phoenix shite. Not to mention that Deadpool 2 itself might have been an even bigger hit.

[@PixelBrainMush]

I think Deadpool was during the blip, and Deadpool 2 was after, hence the X-Men were suddenly back.

[@keganjones6159]

Yeah they were busy and shooting dark Phoenix because that movie performed so well😅

[@arcadealchemist]

imagine shooting a movie that was EDITED to make every single one of them look like losers If they knew Dark Pheonex was going to trash them (they didn't know their scenes where going to be taken out of context on the editing floor to destroy the Bryan Singer legacy cos he liked them hot tub parties)

[@usernmes]

[@Ezullof]

wait what? What's the source on that "edit to make everyone look like losers" thing? Dark Phoenix is a bad movie for several reason but what you're saying is pretty serious and I can't find a source on it.

[@arcadealchemist]

@@Ezullof source watch the movie then every Bryan singer directed X-Men very easy to see dialogue and behaviour was not shot in one take and movies are edited together. Don't act ignorant to how movies are made.

[@keloing923]

You guys should get Max on here too! (I love seeing everyone on a topic!)

[@Alwaysintheroom]

Wrong. Licensing is expensive, and they didn’t say anything, but also, the age of the characters used did not line up with the timeline. It was just a gag for the film. Though, Deadpool vs Wolverine seems to be doing some more with the licensing and story to correct this.

Well with the deadpool movie not being an avengers movie and given the under performance of recent MCU properties that aren't the avengers with disappointing box office returns on recent movies and adding tv show after tv show that no one asked for and sometimes fewer actually watching I have to admit I'm worried but am willing to give the benefit of the doubt until further evidence can be presented (i.e. till the movie comes out)

[@swakage13x]

So when they were filming dark Phoenix or even when they were wrapping it up they couldn't have spent like a day filming a quick little clip with them walking past each other an them saying not today Wade go away Wade and jubilee saying something like hi Wade Like it would not have been hard at all I blame really bad scheduling and poor producers on the X-Men side

The Deadpool movies are awesome and I love them. Now I'm talking MCU as a whole. I want comic accurate movies. Comic accurate characters. I don't mind new original stories, but for *uck's sake get established ones right (I'm looking at you Dark Phoenix disasters). Any *uck*ard in the writing or idea room for a comic film (I'm including DC, Image, Top Cow, Dark Horse ect...) that says "I love the original story, but how about we change..." should be immediately fired. I want World War Hulk. I want Sue and Johnny Storm to be biological brother and sister. Deadpool got him correct, but why in the hell was Professor X and Juggernaut suddenly British. Charles was born in New Mexico and Cain was born in New York (state)! I want a Spiderman where Gwen was his first girlfriend that died and MJ was a blind date setup by Aunt May.
