The infamous Deadpool Kills the Marvel Universe series is about to take its most outrageous turn yet, concluding the trilogy in a blaze of bloodlust and chaos. Following Ryan Reynolds' blockbuster hit, Deadpool & Wolverine, this saga, also known for its unapologetic and unhinged storytelling, is back to becoming one of the most beloved and best-selling Deadpool series of all time. The Merc with the Mouth is back, this time, to aim at the darkest corners of the multiverse, where Marvel's greatest heroes have turned rogue. However, not everyone is excited about the finale, with disappointment and discontent looming over the direction of the story.

According to Marvel.com, the highly anticipated, Deadpool Kills the Marvel Universe One Last Time is set to release on April 2nd, 2025. Written by Cullen Bunn and illustrated by Dalibor Talajić, this issue marks the beginning of a new chapter in the Deadpool Kills saga. The story, according to the makers, promises to be "absolutely bonkers" and "insanely epic".

Bunn expressed his excitement about returning to the series, stating that he and Talajić would not have come back unless they could create something "completely unexpected". The issue features a cover by Davide Paratore, with variant covers by Greg Land and Dan Panosian. Fans can thus expect an unforgettable ride as Deadpool takes on the Marvel Universe in a way, even if they are not unanimous with this one.
