Deadpool's True Love: Why Spider-Man is His Official Soulmate (and Why We Need That Movie NOW!)
Deadpool: The Merc with the Mouth and His Unlikely Best Friend
Deadpool (Wade Wilson), that crazy, loudmouthed mercenary, is a chaotic force of nature! He’s known for his unpredictable antics and his fourth-wall-breaking humor—he’s the Merc with a Mouth for a reason! But believe it or not; and even though he's constantly brawling with both heroes and villains; the crazy yet amazing thing is his relationship with Spider-Man. In the Marvel universe they share this very close bond which fans hope will soon translate to screen! Despite this incredibly significant connection and many shared stories which really impacted fans everywhere and made these characters extremely memorable– the astonishing reality is these two never shared a movie, despite enormous popularity, generating insane amounts of anticipation for that upcoming production which might soon reveal a satisfying adaptation for a duo never yet achieved! How crazy is that?
While Rob Delaney’s Peter (Deadpool's cinematic best friend) totally rocks, in the actual Marvel comics? That changes. That "best friend" status? That goes to Spider-Man. That’s confirmed officially and there's a seriously great comic demonstrating it.
The Soulmate Spell: Spider-Man and Deadpool's Official Canon Connection!
Spider-Man/Deadpool: Monsters Unleashed #1 shows everything. Some teen witches kidnap Deadpool, wanting to summon his soulmate (hoping it’d be Shiklah, his succubus queen wife)! But instead? The magic spells out something else; an unexpected soulmate connection! The soulmate reveals who that very important person is: Spider-Man! And not just in a cheesy, fun kind of way!
That comic shows Deadpool and Spider-Man teaming up effortlessly and expertly, sharing snappy banter and defeating some massive, city-destroying monster! They're a dream team in the making!
A Bond Forged in Sacrifice: Deadpool and Spider-Man's Darkest Hour
Their close bond isn’t simply down to that fun banter. Those two faced down intense, dark situations and the darkest encounter created that unshakeable bond between Deadpool and Spider-Man. This serious moment happened during the arc where both get attacked by their cloned daughter. That encounter showcases Deadpool's immense compassion; demonstrating a key aspect of his morality and that extremely powerful compassion that affects all his later actions; especially towards a dear friend!
Their insane clone, Itsy-Bitsy’s pheromones drove Spider-Man to the brink; wanting to kill their own cloned daughter, leaving Deadpool to make an impossible choice. Even though he had already stopped murdering people; he does the right thing; he commits the impossible act; murdering Itsy-Bitsy to protect Spider-Man! That's seriously huge; showing just how much that insane Merc with a Mouth truly cares for Spider-Man; showing it through action, a far more profound impact.
Why the MCU Needs That Deadpool/Spider-Man Team-Up NOW!
Many are already deeply aware that despite the enormous popularity from those two; fans anxiously await a meeting on the big screen for this dream team; one that really should already have happened! And now's the time, really! Deadpool already worked with Cable and Wolverine (in Deadpool & Wolverine) creating a perfect path to introducing Deadpool into the MCU, adding new possibilities through many narrative devices which can make even his own chaotic humor, meaningful to the storytelling elements within a new and vast fictional setting which allows for many opportunities!
It seems rather clear how to start: Many viewers have realized that these past stories given to Tom Holland's Spider-Man, the established narrative arcs from that side of the Marvel continuity has involved several heroic mentors such as Iron Man, Nick Fury and Doctor Strange. And that’s important to consider: Deadpool would work the other way, completely reversing the usual formula by creating an entirely new narrative opportunity— and possibly using him as a villainous, sarcastic mentor!
Conclusion: Get Ready for the Most Unlikely, Yet Awesome Team-Up Ever
That insane relationship between Deadpool and Spider-Man has major potential! And that amazing comics moment showed the intense, surprising relationship between them, proving just how close that unbreakable bond could possibly be!
That MCU pairing remains intensely requested and that demand has finally created this amazingly large opportunity. Hopefully we'll see the amazing collaboration soon enough! Director Shawn Levy's remarks about it add fuel to this intense fire. The MCU has waited far too long to unite these two hilarious yet profound anti-heroes on screen; the amount of anticipation for fans across multiple generational gaps really deserves this special treatment. The time is ripe!
