Deadpool is a fun addition to the MCU with fourth wall breaking allows him to exist outside of the shiny Avengers world fans know and team up with lesser known mutants of the comics.

Gambit did appear in none other than X-Men Origins: Wolverine, which it’s thought Deadpool 3 could touch on – although he was portrayed by Taylor Kitsch.

A film had been announced by Marvel and added to the slate, with Channing in the titular role, but was dropped from releases in 2019.

She did say back in 2015 that superhero films are ‘sexist’ before joining Suicide Squad but Deadpool couldn’t be further away from that forgotten flop.

For now, we will put the tin foil hat away and choose to believe this was an innocent dinner among famous friends.
