Deadpool & Wolverine: The Biggest Reference to the Avengers Yet

We are only a few days away from witnessing the highly anticipated team-up of Deadpool and Wolverine, so it’s not surprising that Easter eggs may be revealed late in the game. However, for Ryan Reynolds, any connections to the Avengers are still welcome, even if they come at the last minute.

Scheduled to premiere on July 25th, the production of Deadpool & Wolverine has gone all out. Along with speculations about Lady Deadpool, the film boasts an R rating, a stellar soundtrack, and a lengthy list of potential cameo appearances.

Despite this, it is evident that Ryan Reynolds still has more to offer. On July 18, he posted two images of sling rings on his Instagram stories, which have previously made appearances in other Marvel films.

Doctor Strange is known for being prominently featured in the Multiverse of Madness and is recognized as a trademark of the franchise. This has led many fans to speculate that the upcoming film will pay homage to previous Avengers storylines and potentially hint at future ones as well.

According to one fan on Reddit, after referencing it in the previous issue, Deadpool is determined to make Marvel vs. Capcom 4 happen by himself with Gems enabled. This was evident from Ryan Reynolds’ shared Instagram stories.

Another person added, “I am certain that Deadpool will perform the Tony Stark infinity gauntlet snap from Avengers Endgame.”

One person pondered, “I’m really intrigued to see how they will approach this. Will it be a highly emotional or comedic performance?”Another person chimed in with a question, “But wouldn’t that just lead to a separate timeline? It shouldn’t have any impact on 616…”

A sling ring is a mystical ring that, when worn on two fingers, can generate Inter-Dimensional Portals to a different location or dimension, making it a foreign concept to those who are unfamiliar with it.

Near the conclusion of the Deadpool & Wolverine trailer, viewers witness the duo leaping into an unknown destination, leaving the audience in suspense about its connection.

Ever since the release of Avengers: Endgame in 2019, numerous fans have been puzzled as to why Doctor Strange did not utilize the sling rings against Thanos (in short, his skin was impenetrable and could not be penetrated even with the assistance of the sling rings).

Despite this, the result was the poignant snap scene of Tony Stark that we witness towards the conclusion of the film, as Strange and the ring observe.

Currently, Marvel is faced with a multitude of questions without many clear answers. Though it is probable that Deadpool & Wolverine will shed some light on the origins of the sling rings on Deadpool’s hand, the significance of this discovery in the grand scheme of things may remain a mystery.

With plans for both Avengers 5 and Secret Wars currently in development, the Deadpool comics have recently referenced Marvel vs. Capcom 4… but could this be a mere coincidence?

One fan joked, “Avengers 7: Marvel vs Capcom? Might as well turn it into a big animated film trilogy!”
