Reynolds, meanwhile, has found blockbuster success with this portrayal of Deadpool, Fox's foul-mouthed antihero. With Disney's acquisition of 21st Century Fox's key assets expected to be completed next year, his Merc with a Mouth will eventually accompany the X-Men and Fantastic Four to the MCU, albeit one without Evans' Steve Rogers.
