Is deadpool gay for wolverine

Sea anemones. While the exact label of his sexuality remains a little fuzzy, his wildly diverse tastes—specifically his attraction to fruit and sea anemones—lean heavily into classic Deadpool territory, teetering on the edge of too much information.

Deadpool Doesn’t Give Himself Label (& It’s Honestly for the Best)

Deadpool never explicitly labels his sexuality in this comic, but one thing is certain—he’s not straight.

In 2015.

It was the same director who wrote a scene of Shawn Ashmore’s Iceman “coming out” as a mutant in its 2003 sequel. "Starting to realize that maybe i enjoyed Deadpool more than the average film twt audience bc i guess i took every single gay joke at face value," one fan argued on Twitter earlier this month.

The MCU has been called out for its lack of LGBTQ+ representation, with even the inclusion of Brian Tyree Henry's Phastos as the franchise’s first openly gay hero in Eternals being far from prominent. So the chance to be Johnny again, I couldn't pass up. "I guess everyone else in the theatre was like lol gay jokes and I was in there like damn he wants him :/ ."

Chris Evans, who makes a cameo in the movie, recently revealed he turned down the offer of cue cards on the Deadpool & Wolverine set as he found his lines too amusing to not learn by heart.

The X-Men have also tried to show their pride on the silver screen, with Sir Ian McKellen telling BuzzFeed how Bryan Singer sold him on the idea of playing Magneto in 2000’s X-Men on the basis of the team’s gay allegory. But in true Deadpool fashion, his answer delivers way more information than anyone asked for—raising even more questions about his tastes.

Discussing the movie on Twitter (X), one viewer mused: "Would've been cool if there was some actual meaningful LGBTQ+ rep from the main man in Deadpool to counterbalance the usual 'lol gay' punchlines; felt like a lot of laughing *at*, not *with*, at our screening."

"The way every second of the Deadpool movie was a gay 'joke' and like the fruitiest thing I've ever seen and they still had wade end up with a woman," another added, with a third stated: "I’m well aware that Deadpool is canonically pan in the comics but it’s deeply exhausting how the movies have done 'hahaha get it it’s funny bc it’s gay' anytime they deal with the characters queerness."

Another mused after watching the film: "Sorry to be that annoying woke gay and i did like the movie but let’s make a movie where Deadpool’s pansexuality is more than just the butt of a joke trying to appeal to it’s conservative straight incel audience could be cool if he was just pansexual for real I think."

"Some critics have said that since Deadpool jokes about any and everything, of course he's going to joke about his sexuality from time to time.

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. Other divisive 'gay jokes' centre around anal sex and erections, while some critics have accused the movie of queerbaiting.

Deadpool, the Marvel superhero known for his pansexuality, has had his queerness delved into deeply within the comic book pages.

I'm showing up off-book.

More recently, the beloved X-Men ‘97 has led to viewers shipping Wolverine’s potential with Morph. He is NO sex and ALL sexes. 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.

Memorised." The Captain America actor was giddy about the opportunity, sharing, "It was a couple years ago and I got a text from Ryan, we're buddies.

“It is a bit tiring. He is yours and everyone else’s.”

Deadpool is credited as “the epitome of inclusive” by his co-creator, but sadly, that same Nicieza tore into a fan article on Deadpool’s pansexuality, saying that “anyone who writes such an extended column trying to "prove" Deadpool's sexuality does not understand Deadpool's sexuality.” 

In the comics, Deadpool’s pansexuality is occasionally given the nod, like accidentally marrying Orska the space hippo or having Peter Parker at No.

5 on his “free pass” list.
