Deadpool & Wolverine is a fourth wall shattering comic adventure in which Wade Wilson/Deadpool is suffering from an existential crisis. Sure, he’s been ported over to the Marvel Universe from the Fox-Marvel Universe, but now what? After visiting the Avengers campus and being told that he’s not the world saving type, Wade is floundering. For the time being, he’s settling into being a working stiff, selling cars alongside his buddy Peter (Rob Delaney), and being generally miserable. Wade’s lack of purpose in this new world has had a negative effect on his relationship with Vanessa (Morena Baccarin), to the point where he is back living with Blind Al (Leslie Uggams).
Wade tries to put on a brave face but his struggle is quite obvious. Then, a purpose seems to present itself. The TVA shows up at Wade’s birthday party and kidnaps him. Taken to TVA HQ, he’s told that he’s being brought up to the superhero big leagues, they want him to help save the Marvel Universe. Unfortunately, that begins with destroying his universe and everyone in it. Matthew MacFadyen plays Mr. Paradox, who gives Wade the bad news, everyone he cares about is going to die while Deadpool moves toward immortality among The Avengers. Despite his tendency toward being an unhappy loner, Wade chooses to be a hero and try to save his universe from the TVA.
