Deadpool 2 Director Wants a Crossover with Captain America

With the Disney/Fox deal currently underway, we may be looking at a film down the line where Deadpool teams up with a hero from the MCU. Director David Leitch thinks it would be best to have the Merc with the Mouth crossover with the MCU's Captain America.

Talking to Fandango, Leitch says:

"I think it'll be exciting for fans. What I like about Deadpool is I think that the more you can put Deadpool in a box, the more he wants to push outside of it. Pairing him with people that you think would confine him, it's a challenge to be irreverent, and it's a challenge to keep the same sort of subversive nature. I think there's something interesting about that. I don't know. Who would he pair with? Captain America, that'd be pretty funny. I don't know. There are definitely some people. I mean, I'm a fan of that sort of whole Marvel universe. I think you could just throw a dart at a board and put Deadpool next to them, and it would be funny."

Though it does seem like a fun team-up, it's highly unlikely that we'll get DP to team-up with Deadpool anytime down the line. Chris Evans has confirmed that Avengers 4 will be his final MCU film, and a lot of people are guessing that he'll eventually die in that movie. Then again, DP can always team-up with the next Captain America—I'm happy if either Bucky or Falcon get the job.

Like Leitch says, Deadpool can be fun to pair with anyone in the MCU. If we're going by comics, though, I bet fans would love to see a Deadpool/Spider-Man team-up soon. Would Ryan Reynolds be willing to make a TV appearance? How about Deadpool/Punisher?

Deadpool 2 hits theaters May 18.
