Trivia: In Happy's office, the shield of Steve Rogers is seen; that's the very same shield seen in Iron Man 1 and 2.

Trivia: Before the battle at Cassandra Nova's lair begins, Gambit says "Whoo, I'm about to make a name for myself." A.J. LoCascio, who voices Gambit in X-Men '97, posted a video on his social media of him doing an impression of Channing Tatum's line delivery.

Trivia: During the opening fight scene, Deadpool fights and dances to the song "Bye Bye Bye" by NSYNC. Ironically, this is the same song from X-Men 2 (2003) that briefly plays when Pyro is messing with the car radio during the mansion escape. Wolverine's irritated reaction to the tune is a possible early sign that he and Deadpool won't get along. (Then again, maybe because it was just loud. So, that's anyone's guess.)

Gavin Jackson

Trivia: SPOILER: When Deadpool is facing down the regenerated Deadpool Corp at the end, he tells them that the multiverse thing just isn't working and that they should take the loss. This is a reference to the films of the "Multiverse Saga" of the MCU generally not being as well received as the films from the preceding "Infinity Saga."

Trivia: This is the first movie in the Deadpool series to be filmed in the United Kingdom.

Mistakes

Plot hole: In the opening scene, Wade applies to be an Avenger, and does it in the Sacred Timeline, the main MCU timeline, on Earth-616. Not his own, which the movie classifies in the next scene as Earth-10005. Assuming he can just do that (at the end of his second movie he certainly did stranger things than that with Cable's device), one fails to see the purpose of it. Let's assume he aced the interview and got hired; it's not his timeline. He does it to have a good relationship with his girlfriend. Who...is in a different universe. Whatever Wade does in the vastly different universe is not altering anything in his own. It was never going to work.

Suggested correction: He goes back to his universe. Think Thor...or the Guardians or Captain Marvel or whomever isn't Earth based. They "Assemble" then go back to protecting their little corner of the Marvel Universe.

Suggested correction: But it's Deadpool. When does anything he ever does make sense? He wanted to be an Avenger, he went out to be one, no matter what that meant in the literal sense. As long as he can say it, it's enough for him. Even if it is in a different universe/timeline, he can still say he's an Avenger. He is also a rule breaker, so maybe he can figure out how to make it work.

I knew this was going to be the objection to it; it's Deadpool, he can do whatever, etc. There are multiple times during the movie when he mentions things that he is not supposed to know because they are meant to be fourth-wall-breaking jokes. He references real-life actors, he interacted with them in previous movies. So they are absurdities with a purpose, and it's pointless to argue with comedy. But him being rejected by the Avengers is part of his motivations and of the 'serious' part of the plot, which is focused on his own universe and his girlfriend. Earth-616's Avengers though? The namedropping for nerds is an absurd choice when you think about it, which the movie does not want you to do, since it makes zero jokes about it. Without that caption it was not even going to raise any objection or paradox; he could have met with the Avengers of his universe, any universe - later in the movie Wolverine says "F*** the Avengers" as if he knows them.

Two things: 1. Even if he is able to join the Avengers on Earth-616, being part of a team might give him a sense of belonging and change his whole attitude. It wasn't to impress Vanessa about being an Avenger, it was to change his attitude which had soured after the events of the second movie. 2. It cleverly explains that the Marvel characters from the Fox universe were in their own universe and, to this point, have likely not been a part of the MCU.

Maybe his universe doesn't have Avengers and he found out about them through the MCU. That's what I'm saying. It's just a gimmick in the movie and actually doesn't affect the plot that much as he was given a task by the TVA (or whatever lone wolf from the TVA) and teams up with Wolverine. Him trying to be an Avenger and talking about it is just a running gag.

Questions

Question: Deadpool knows that he is in a film, which explains why he can easily recognise everyone, including Wolverine, X-23, Johnny Storm, Blade, Ant-Man, Sabretooth, Juggernaut, and even the actors playing them. So why didn't he recognise Elektra? Jennifer Garner's popularity alone should have made it easy for him.

Gavin Jackson

Answer: Part of the novelty of knowing that he's in a film means servicing the plot, especially as a proxy for those audience members who may not be as familiar with some characters. Deadpool also does seem to know who Elektra is, as he apologises to her upon hearing about Daredevil's death, even though he just met her moments earlier.
