:0:0

Summary

Marvel Comics has revealed that Deadpool and Wolverine are destined to be friends in every universe, making their friendship one of the multiverse's few constants.
In a way, the heartwarming ending of Deadpool & Wolverine is subverted by this multiversal twist, as the friendship that develops between the protagonists over the course of the film was always inevitable, as it was fated to happen.
Despite the creepy new context this puts the duo's pre-destined friendship in, it ultimately saved their lives at the climax of the film.

Warning: Contains MAJOR Spoilers from Marvel Studios' Deadpool & Wolverine and Marvel Comics' Weapon X-Traction: Part SevenThe heartwarming ending of Deadpool & Wolverine was just made way darker by Marvel. The MCU's latest endeavor, Deadpool & Wolverine, has been met with acclaim by both fans and critics alike for its terrific sense of humor and a surprising amount of heart, especially during the ending. However, a new detail revealed by Marvel reveals a shocking multiversal truth about the friendship between Deadpool and Wolverine.
In Deadpool & Wolverine: Weapon X-Traction "Part Seven" – written by by Ryan North, with art by Javier Garrón –the duo come face-to-face with Atleza Langunn, the Guardian of the Infinity Abyss, who tells them that every variant of Wolverine and Deadpool eventually become friends in the end, no matter what happens between the two.

This revelation shows that the friendship that blossoms between the two heroes at the end of Deadpool & Wolverine never truly happened organically. In fact, it's hinted that they're cosmically destined to come together regardless of their differences.
Deadpool & Wolverine: Weapon X-Traction is an ongoing back-up story that has featured across several of Marvel's most prominent titles; "Part Seven" can be found in the pages of Spectacular Spider-Men #6 – written by Greg Weisman, with art by Humberto Ramos.

[Earth-616 Deadpool and Wolverine] are the only versions of the characters that constantly fight one another and can never put their differences aside.
Atleza's explanation in Weapon X-Traction "Part Seven" ultimately shows that despite the MCU's happy ending for Deadpool and Wolverine – as they sit on the couch together with the friends they made in the Void – there was never truly a chance that the story would go any differently. The two were always bound to come together in times of crisis because they share too much in common to be mad at each other. In fact, Atleza mentions that it's their similarities that make them best friends, because they're both "functionally immortal" and got their abilities "from the Canadian government."
However, there's only one exception to the rule: Earth-616's main continuity Deadpool and Wolverine. Atleza brings up that out of every variant of the two she's seen, they are the only versions of the characters that constantly fight one another and can never put their differences aside. It's the very reason why she sends them on Weapon X-Traction's grand multiverse adventure in the first place, as she works to ensure they become friends. Meanwhile, the MCU, which has been described as Earth-199999 despite being deemed by in-universe characters as Earth-616, finds Deadpool and Wolverine succumbing to their cosmic fate.
Despite how creepy it sounds that they have no choice in the matter, Deadpool and Wolverine eventually befriending each other in the film may have saved their lives.

During the movie's climax, Deadpool attempts to sacrifice himself by overcharging the Time Ripper to stop Cassandra Nova. However, Wolverine comes in at the last second to complete the connection, and the two survive by working together. Had their destined friendship not been pre-determined by the multiverse, Wolverine could have left Deadpool to die. However, he joins him in the last moment, cementing their friendship and ensuring their survival overall.
In the end, Ryan Reynolds and Hugh Jackman's takes on the characters owe a lot to this massive reveal behind their fate in the multiverse. Without the pre-written rule that Deadpools and Wolverines are always bound to become friends in the end, Deadpool would have either sacrificed himself or failed to stop Nova from destroying the multiverse. However, it still comes off as a little creepy, and Marvel's overall answer to their multiversal friendship ultimately gives Deadpool & Wolverine's ending a darker meaning.
