The Ending of 'Deadpool & Wolverine' Explained

October 8, 2024

The Time Variance Authority (TVA) has reformed into a kinder, gentler organization, no longer "pruning" faulty timelines.

The TVA's New Role

A rogue TVA agent, Mr. Paradox, threatens to erase the X-Men universe using a device called the Time Ripper.   

Deadpool's Universe in Danger

Anchor Beings are crucial to the stability of a universe. Hugh Jackman's Wolverine was the Anchor for Deadpool's universe, and his death in "Logan" marked its decline.   

The Importance of Anchor Beings

Deadpool sets out to find a new Anchor to save his universe, ultimately finding a failed Wolverine from another timeline.  

Deadpool's Search for a New Anchor

To stop the Time Ripper, Deadpool and Wolverine must sacrifice themselves. However, their combined regenerative abilities allow them to survive, ensuring Hugh Jackman's return as Wolverine.
