In a recent announcement, James Gunn shared that he had contemplated including Ryan Reynolds' Deadpool as a cameo in the season finale of Peacemaker. During a press conference, he mentioned discussing this idea with Reynolds but acknowledged the legal complexities involved in making such a crossover happen, especially considering Deadpool's place in the MCU. Although fans would love to see the DC and Marvel universes collide, the potential for this cameo ultimately fell through due to the extensive hoops required to navigate the legal landscape. Gunn humorously remarked that revealing this almost-cameo might overshadow other discussions about the finale.

Will Deadpool ever appear in a DC production?

While the idea of Deadpool appearing in a DC production has been discussed, significant legal complications currently make it highly unlikely. The crossover would require navigating complex rights issues between Marvel and DC, and as of now, there is no plan for such an appearance.

Deadpool, a character known for his meta-humor and breaking the fourth wall, has become one of the most popular superheroes within the Marvel universe. With the upcoming Deadpool 3 seemingly set to explore deeper aspects of the multiverse, fans are eager to see how his character continues to evolve, particularly now that he exists within the broader MCU context. Meanwhile, Peacemaker, from the DC universe, has carved out its own niche by blending humor with serious themes, making the prospect of a crossover even more tantalizing for comic book fans.
