For the past decade and more, Marvel Studios has proved itself a pioneer in adapting the world of comics. Starting from the very first 2008’s Iron Man all the way to the most recent fan-favorite, Loki, the studio has shown the scale of success of what it can achieve. Despite its recent underwhelming box-office performances, a big bet moves ahead in the form of Ryan Reynolds and Hugh Jackman in Deadpool 3.

If the recent leaks and rumors have hinted at anything, it is that the movie is about to be one big fest. And, once again, amid massive spoilers, fans must brace for even massive easter eggs.

In its infancy, the Marvel Cinematic Universe was all but a well-oiled content-churning machine. However, its role and relevance became evident once Avengers: Endgame showcased the sheer hype the franchise carried. Awaiting to dial it up a notch and bring those sweet glory days back again, the latest set photos from the upcoming mutant extravaganza feature relics from 2011’s Captain America: The First Avenger as well as 2022’s Disney+ series, Moon Knight.

A perfectly accurate mock-up of the coupe vehicle that Red Skull used in the 2011 flick as well as a slightly tweaked ice-cream truck from the 2022 show’s first episode hint at a trip-down nostalgia for the fans. The reveals line up perfectly with previous hints of several other such props including a giant 20th-century Fox logo. Additionally, the details point to the possible appearance of a region termed in-universe as The Void, first featured in the pilot season of Loki.

The leaks hint at the possibility of the movie setting a bigger plot of incursions throughout the multiverse as hinted in the last few of the studio’s projects.

Ryan Reynolds and Hugh Jackman may not be the only heroes in the movie

The last few Marvel outings including Doctor Strange: In The Multiverse Of Madness, The Marvels, and Loki all hint at one thing: incursions. The term stands for the merger or appearance of one branch of the timeline into another. Judging by the photos, Deadpool 3 may have the actors travel through several multiverse iterations or perhaps several multiversal characters pop up in theirs. Again, this theory has already received credible backing.

Thanks to director Shawn Levy’s hints of a possible appearance of the original X-Men, the movie stands to be one big crossover event. Thus, alongside Ryan Reynolds and Hugh Jackman, stars from the Fox Universe or from the current one may grace the screens. Regardless, all the stars seem aligned for fans to binge their eyes on perhaps arguably the grandest MCU content in recent years.
