The good news is that Deadpool should be part of the MCU sometime in the next year or two as well, but that Tim Miller wasn’t brought back for the sequel. Beyond that Tim Miller, the director of the first Deadpool, mentioned that he wanted to feature Taskmaster in a future Deadpool film but that he thought the rights had reverted back to Marvel. In the cartoons Taskmaster fears Deadpool because Deadpool’s unpredictability means he can’t actually copy (and thus predict) ‘Pool’s fighting style but in comics he’s actually one of the few villains that is able to best Deadpool in a straight up fight. That makes him extremely hard to take down for any character that isn’t relatively high-powered, and while Deadpool can regenerate like (next-to) no other, he still is basically just peak human in terms of strength. Taskmaster’s got an interesting powerset that outside of the end of Captain America: Civil War where Tony’s suit learns Cap’s fight patterns and quickly turns the tide of their one-on-one, we’ve never seen before in that he can basically copy the fighting style of anyone he’s fighting (while referencing the fighting style of everyone he’s ever fought).

Taskmasterĭepending on how you consume your Marvel content, Taskmaster is either one of the few villains that can pose a threat to Deadpool (comics) or Deadpool is one of the only heroes that can strike fear in the heart of Taskmaster (Some of the current Marvel television cartoons). Either way, it could be an interesting way to bring something new to the franchise and as we’ve seen from the first two films, nothing is too crazy for the Deadpool universe. If Deadpool 3 ends up going dark, ‘Cap could end up playing Deadpool’s conscience or the reason for his dark turn that isn’t explained until later in the film. One thing that the movies hasn’t really touched on much is the voices in Deadpool’s head and while that may be hard to make work on film, it appears from the trailers that that’s exactly what Sony is doing with it’s Anti-Hero film in Venom. At one point, a lightening bolt from Thor actually merged Madcap with Deadpool, which basically reduced ‘Cap to a voice in Deadpool’s head, which explains how crazy he was (after starting out as a relatively generic assassin character in the ’90’s). It’s sort of hard to explain but Madcap, who is aptly named as he’s crazy and wears a hat, can also regenerate like Deadpool and had served as a foil for Deadpool for years in the comic books. Madcap seems like he should be a lot higher on this list because one could argue that at one point basically he WAS Deadpool in the comics.

Because Ryan Reynold’s has long been thought of as Deadpool even before Ryan Reynold’s was added to X-Men Origins: Wolverine, it’s nearly impossible to think of another actor playing the role so it’s safe to say a third Deadpool movie will happen in some way shape or form, so we’re here to list the top 10 potential villains for that film, so strap in! 10. Either way, if there is any character that could survive or bridge Disney/Marvel Studios’ Marvel Cinematic Universe and Fox’s X-Men Universe you’d think it’d have to be Deadpool, who is notoriously hard to kill int he comics and could also explain all the crazy universe merging (assuming they go with the new X-Men actors that inhabit the Fox Universe now) or universe re-starting (should they start fresh). However, because of the sale of Fox to Disney and the in-works X-Force movie that Deadpool 2 serves as sort of a prequel to, it’s not known whether or not we’ll get a full-fledged Deadpool 3 with Deadpool as the solo star (as Deadpool himself Ryan Reynolds has said that X-Force will serve as the defacto third film). With Deadpool 2 opening with over $300 million at the worldwide box office it’s first weekend in theaters, you’d think that a third iteration of the Merc With a Mouth’s film franchise would be a no-brainer.
