You wouldn’t have to look far to find someone who thinks Deadpool doesn’t belong in either the Avengers or the X-Men. Considering his utter lack of boundaries, his penchant for hitting on everyone he works with, and a criminally casual view of bloodletting, he wouldn’t exactly fit in with the likes of Captain America and Spider-Man; not to mention Cyclops would blast him through a wall within the first five minutes of meeting him. But according to Reynolds, none of those reasons are why the Merc with a Mouth can never join either of those teams, but because if he were to become an Avenger or an X-Man, it would mean the end of his story.

Reynolds was speaking with Time’s Eliana Dockterman when he was asked about what was in store for the future of Deadpool, as well as about previous statements from Reynolds in which he said he thought Deadpool worked best as a supporting character. Reynolds gave a longer response which ended with, “I’m writing a little something right now which is like an ensemble, but it’s…I like things isolated. If Deadpool becomes an Avenger or X-Men we’re at the end and that’s his wish fulfillment, and you can’t give him that.”
We’ve caught glimpses of Deadpool trying and failing to become a part of the teams. In “Deadpool 2” he briefly becomes an X-Men trainee, but his tenure ends with him abruptly killing a child abuser and being thrown in prison. Later in the same film he tries to form his own team, X-Force, but that ends with most of his new team dead.
Early in last year’s “Deadpool & Wolverine” we see Wade Wilson trying to talk to Happy Hogan (Jon Favreau) into giving him a shot with the Avengers, but the interview ends with a gentle but firm thanks but no thanks from Tony Stark’s former driver.
Deadpool may not be able to join the Avengers or the X-Men officially, but that doesn’t mean he can’t be in their movies. Ryan Reynolds’s name was left out of Marvel’s epic 5 hour announcement for “Avengers: Doomsday” but Kevin Feige has confirmed more names are coming. And even if Reynolds isn’t a part of “Doomsday,” there’s always 2027’s “Avengers: Secret Wars”.
