Deadpool & Wolverine"s Spider-Man Easter Eggs Have Me Convinced We Need Ryan Reynolds & Tom Holland"s MCU Team-Up
Summary
The plentiful cameos of Deadpool & Wolverine only comprised a few of its countless Easter eggs. Myriad nods to erstwhile franchises and events within the MCU arose in set pieces, verbal references, and even fight scene choreography. Spider-Man was among those referenced throughout Deadpool & Wolverine, which helped alleviate my disappointment that he did not appear in a cameo. In fact, these references were plenty to assure me that Deadpool and Spider-Man is not only a no-brainer but also probably on the cards.

Deadpool & Wolverine was littered with Spider-Man references, though some are more obvious than others. The lead-up to Deadpool & Wolverine's release gave rise to a hotbed of speculation surrounding which Marvel characters from movies of yesteryear may appear. Spider-Man was one of them, though Peter Parker's absence could be thanks to the fact that the distribution rights to the character are still owned by Sony, unlike the many Fox characters now under Marvel's purview. Nevertheless, there were at least 4 references to Spider-Man throughout the movie.

While it is true that these references sit among a cavalcade of others, it's hard to ignore the fact that these practically bookend the movie. They also may appear to be tenuous Easter eggs, but considering how Marvel's usage of Spider-Man is severely limited by Sony's ownership of the character, obscure references including the fact that Tom and Harry Holland's faces are obscured are potentially all Marvel could work with.
After Deadpool & Wolverine, I Need A Deadpool & Spider-Man Team-Up Close Having the two red spandex-clad heroes join forces is just as par for the course as Deadpool and Wolverine, and it has to be the next Deadpool buddy-up movie for Marvel to adapt.
My desire for a Deadpool & Spider-Man team-up in the wake of Deadpool & Wolverine is far from unprecedented. On the contrary, Marvel Comics set that precedent over several decades of media. Having the two red spandex-clad heroes join forces is just as par for the course as Deadpool and Wolverine, and it has to be the next Deadpool buddy-up movie for Marvel to adapt.
Deadpool and Spider-Man's first encounter came in Amazing Spider-Man #611 where the two engage in a long series of "yo' momma" jokes at one another's expense. Off the bat, it is apparent how the pair would differ from the dynamic displayed by Deadpool & Wolverine, as both characters are famous for their wisecracks and repartee. This first encounter would culminate in an entire 3-year run of comics entitled "Deadpool/Spider-Man," which ran from 2016 to 2019 across 50 issues.
The two also have a history in Marvel animation. Deadpool appeared in a family-friendly guise in Marvel's Ultimate Spider-Man animated series in season 2's "Ultimate Deadpool." Between this small-screen team-up and those on the page, the time is ripe for Marvel to follow up Deadpool & Wolverine with an MCU sequel starring Tom Holland - which is something that both Ryan Reynolds and Hugh Jackman are on board with.
What Ryan Reynolds Has Said About Teaming Up With Tom Holland > Custom Image by Severina Chu In a recent interview (via Entertainment Weekly), Ryan Reynolds and Hugh Jackman were asked which MCU co-star they would most like to team up with next. Reynolds emphatically responded, "If I could pick one, I’d love to play with Spider-Man. Tom Holland is amazing." Jackman concurred, stating "I agree. He’s so cool." It is also a sentiment shared by Deadpool & Wolverine director, Shawn Levy, who stated in an interview with Total Film (via ComicBook) that he would love to make a movie with Deadpool and Spider-Man.
Spider-Man has also teamed up with Wolverine in Marvel Comics.
With the Russo brothers returning to direct Avengers: Doomsday and Avengers: Secret Wars, Marvel has set a precedent that Shawn Levy could now follow with a return to Deadpool 4. With that in mind, the fact that Deadpool & Wolverine's main players are on board with a Deadpool and Spider-Man team-up movie in the MCU makes the project look more prudent and possible than ever. With the Deadpool & Wolverine teases, I can't wait to see when this story can finally come to fruition.
