Right after the release of the first film “Deadpool,” audiences knew that Fox had plans to continue developing this brand through the exploits of the main character. With its unexpected success and a worldwide box office revenue of over $782 million, the production company is more confident than ever to move forward with the next film, expected to hit theaters in 2018.
Despite the fact that details about the upcoming film are still completely under wraps and will remain so for a while, eager fans are speculating about the contents and how the production house might utilize or adapt certain comic book arcs from “Deadpool” as follows:
Cable & Deadpool (2003)
It’s certain that Cable will appear in the next film, but we don’t know exactly how this character will be depicted or what role he will play. However, the relationship between these two characters has been established for quite some time, but to truly understand it, viewers should refer to the series “Cable & Deadpool” from 2003 by writer Fabian Nicieza. This comic distinctly showcases the “brotherly” relationship between Cable and Deadpool, as the two must cooperate to overcome formidable challenges, even to the extent of both being literally blown to pieces and Cable becoming the “Lord.”
Deadpool #11: With Great Power Comes Great Coincidence
Due to copyright reasons, Deadpool and Spider-Man are unlikely to meet in any film. This unfortunate news is a disappointment for every comic book fan, as it highlights the difficulties in the relationship between these two popular characters. In this context, we have to mention the comic “Deadpool #11,” where our hero accidentally gets transported back in time and becomes the main character in a Spider-Man comic from the 1960s.
Deadpool vs. S.H.I.E.L.D
The storyline by Gerry Duggan about Deadpool is quite intense, thanks to its absurd humor. In “Deadpool vs. S.H.I.E.L.D,” Deadpool battles the Ultimatum team to reclaim the funds that a S.H.I.E.L.D agent had stolen from him. On his “quest for justice,” Deadpool does not shy away from killing hundreds of henchmen, providing plenty of action that would translate well to film.
Deadpool and the Mercs for Money
“Deadpool and the Mercs for Money” is an ongoing comic series that has gained significant popularity and fan support. In this series, Deadpool decides to establish his own brand, recruiting a team of unusual superheroes to participate in mercenary jobs under his command to earn a living. With the first film introducing a unique main character, the second film could continue to feature a variety of “horror” characters like Slapstick, Stingray, and others.
Dead Presidents
This comic is known for its creativity and absurdity as it opens with Deadpool on a quest to find and kill President Abraham Lincoln. While other comics tend to focus on character development and plot progression, “Dead Presidents” revels in humor, ensuring readers are entertained throughout without taking itself too seriously.
Deadpool: The Gauntlet
This storyline features Deadpool encountering a version of himself in the comic, Shiklah, and all the chaos that ensues. During this narrative, Deadpool travels through Europe, battling bizarre creatures alongside a vampire, even engaging in a showdown with Dracula while simultaneously trying to maintain his identity. Of course, in the first film, our mercenary was depicted as having a significant love interest, but how that will be introduced in the sequel remains to be seen.
Deadpool: AXIS
“AXIS” is a storyline in Marvel comics where heroes and villains switch personalities. For an anti-hero like Deadpool, he ultimately finds some redemption in life, while simultaneously facing a formidable foe. This is a compelling comic arc that provides insights into the character’s various facets, ideally suited for a sequel film.
