Deadpool is the perfect Avenger.

Joe and Anthony Russo have the entire Marvel fan base in the palm of their hand. We're still patiently waiting for them to drop this Avengers 4 trailer, which will give us the title for the film as well. Until then, we've been blessed with a Captain Marvel trailer at least. While we wait for more Avengers 4 news, Joe Russo has hinted at the path of the MCU after the highly anticipated superhero team-up comes to an end.

Disney acquired Fox, and a large percent of the transactions was powered by their move to control all of Marvel's characters. Does that mean we'll see Deadpool and the X-Men in the MCU soon? "I'm sure of it," stated Joe Russo at Business Insider's IGNITION Conference. "I'm certain, with [president of Marvel Studios] Kevin Feige, who also has been on an historic run in the business, that he is going to incorporate those characters under the large Marvel umbrella." Russo did leave a disclaimer at the end of his statement though.

"We haven't spoken to him [Feige] specifically about when he's going to do it, but I'm certain that that acquisition created great value in dimensionalizing Marvel and the stories that they can tell going forward," he concluded. Deadpool and Iron Man on screen together would break the box office.
