Deadpool gay moments

Ryan Reynolds recently broke the internet with a team-up announcement for Deadpool 3, but behind the scenes, Reynolds has been pushing Marvel to show a different side of Wade Wilson.

So not dismissive, but rather the epitome of inclusive.” However, Marvel Studios has kept his portrayal strictly heterosexual onscreen, despite already being banned in China, and not needing to appease the censors there.

Deadpool & Wolverine posters of our titular heroes holding hands with Taylor Swift-inspired bracelets suggest it will be more outdated jokes rather than actually exploring these themes, but while the whole joke of “Hey, these bros are gay for each other” might be running a little thin, the times are changing.

This drew him into a love triangle with Thanos who was desperate for Death’s approval. These characters are influenced by outsider-hood and draw in audience members who have that same ideology." Going down the roster, it’s not just background characters of the X-Men who are flying their rainbow flags. Deadpool 2 broke new ground with Brianna Hildebrand’s Teenage Negasonic Warhead introducing Wade to her girlfriend, but as far back as a 2018 Comic-Con Q&A (via Variety), Reynolds has been asking to give more prominence to Deadpool’s sexuality.

He is yours and everyone else's. In contrast, Deadpool uses humour to explore homoeroticism that would be scandalously explicit  in the more intimate tone of the X-Men films.

'It was a really interesting choice for Marvel to pack Deadpool & Wolverine with relentless and exhausting gay jokes,' a third tweet read. The potential censoring of this minor moment led to Marvel breaking away from the Comics Code Authority.

We’re on the cusp of adding the X-Men to the Marvel Cinematic Universe, and even if Deadpool & Wolverine might not be the best place to show the team’s LGBTQ+ credentials, we’re excited to see what the future holds for Iceman, Morph, Daken, and the rest.

If that involves Deadpool making the odd joke about Kevin Feige and pegging to ease us in, we’ll take it.

1) Wearing A Dress In A Musical Issue

The lyrics of this issue are written to popular songs of the time, such as the Fresh Prince of Bel-Air theme, and Chocolate Rain.

'The same joke told over and over eventually gets stale,' a fourth person chimed in.

As the typically vocal minority claims that “woke” Disney is ruining these testosterone-pumped heroes, it seems they’ve forgotten that the clawed Canadian and DP hooking up on the silver screen wouldn’t be that unusual at all.

If you think that this is just a bromance, then look again!

Lee's musings remind us of what X-Men cartoonist Chris Wittert said at 2016’s New York Comic-Con (via CBR):

“'X-Men' in general is very obviously an allegory for the gay struggle... It wasn’t just Earth-12025 that frowned on homosexuality, and even though the story was kept as an AU adventure, the bigots hate it when you remind them that at least one version of Wolverine was in a relationship with a man.

3) Flirting With Thor

Unfortunately for Wade Wilson, this did not go down very well with the Asgardian.
