Ever since a variant of Logan appeared crucified on the cross, surrounded by bloody skulls, in the Deadpool And Wolverine movie, there has been a lot of fuss about the cover of Uncanny X-Men #251 drawn by Marc Silvestri back in 1990, which featured the original image.

It's hard to believe that it's been two years since Disney purchased the assets of 20th Century Fox. One such IP that Disney promised not to alter from the Fox Cinematic Universe would be the Merc with the Mouth in Deadpool.

If there was one positive that came out of the 2009 maligned film X-Men Origins: Wolverine was the blossoming friendship between its stars Hugh Jackman and Ryan Reynolds.

Whether if you take this with a grain of salt, with bated breath, or simply at Ryan Reynolds' word, the actor's known to have an active imagination on social media.

While it's been over two years since Deadpool 2's (2018) release, one of the major complaints of the film was the "fridging" of Vanessa, played by Morena Baccarin, the term typically coined in comics as "killing the love interest" to further the main hero's story.
