2024.09.09 Explaining why there aren’t 2 Wolverines at the end of Deadpool & Wolverine

Source: Reddit: Explaining why there aren’t 2 Wolverines at the end of Deadpool & Wolverine

The assumption many people took from deadpool & wolverine is that it takes place in between the DOFP ending (2023) and Logan (2029) meaning that at the end of D&W there is now 2 wolverines but this is not the case.

D&W and the first 2 deadpool movies exist in their own timeline that split off from the main Logan timeline at some point but is still anchored to it. When the OG Logan dies the main anchor timeline and all branch timelines of the #10005 universe start to decay together.

In the first 2 Deadpool movies, outside of a few fourth wall breaking jokes, we never get any indication that there is a wolverine in that world. We see the x-men cameo with no wolverine present and he’s not listed on any of the labels deadpool makes for the stuff in the fridge. We cant say for certain but it seems likely that the wolverine of this world has either already died or just has nothing to do with the x-men.

So basically you have; - The main OG anchor being wolverine from the original x-men and wolverine trilogy who dies in Logan. - You then have the DOFP bad future wolverine who goes back in time, changes the future, then merges with history teacher wolverine in the good future. - And finally you have D&W wolverine from a different universe that we never really see who comes to the #10005 deadpool timeline branch and becomes the new anchor being of that universe.
