With the release of the final trailer, which showed the character’s blonde hair and entire costume, the rumors further intensified. Fans’ excitement has been further heightened by director Shawn Levy’s hinting at multiple cameos and new characters in Deadpool & Wolverine, even though there has been no official confirmation.

What place does Lady Deadpool have in the MCU canon?
The multiverse created in recent Marvel films is further expanded with the arrival of Lady Deadpool into the MCU.
Years after the events of Deadpool 2, Deadpool & Wolverine opens off with Wade now coming into contact with the Time Variance Authority (TVA), a group that was first mentioned in the Disney+ series Loki.
One of the many examples of the MCU’s recent multiverse integration is the TVA crossover.
This is mostly because of Disney’s 2019 acquisition of Fox, which gave the studio access to the rights to popular characters like Deadpool and Wolverine, enabling it to use them in ways that would otherwise be impossible.
But complicated laws kept their integration from happening until recently, according to Entertainment Weekly.
«The notion that, all these years later, we’re in a world where [Jackman] is Wolverine, and Deadpool and all of those X-Men characters are together under the same roof, is a pretty amazing quarter-of-a-century experience,» Kevin Feige, CEO of Marvel Studios, told the publication.
