The Significance of Wolverine’s Fights with Deadpool and Sabertooth in Deadpool & Wolverine
As a longtime Marvel fan and movie critic, I’ve eagerly anticipated the arrival of Deadpool and Wolverine in the Marvel Cinematic Universe since Disney’s acquisition of 20th Century Fox. Their debut in Deadpool & Wolverine was a moment five years in the making, and it did not disappoint.
Warning: This post contains spoilers for Deadpool & Wolverine.
In the summer movie “Deadpool & Wolverine,” released on July 26, the famous duo officially joined the Marvel Cinematic Universe for the first time. This milestone came five years after Disney purchased 20th Century Fox for a staggering $71.3 billion in 2019. With this acquisition, Disney obtained the rights to a wealth of new characters, including both heroic and villainous figures, enabling them to establish a proper presence within the MCU storyline.
If you’re invested in the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU), keeping track of where “Deadpool” and “Wolverine” fit in their respective timelines can be quite a challenge. To help you out, let me summarize the latest development in an engaging and clear way.
Deadpool escorts the variant to the Time Variance Authority (TVA), where Paradox (Matthew Macfadyen) explains that they can’t casually swap out an “essential being.” As a result, both Deadpool and Paradox get “trimmed” and transferred to the Void. Before these epic fan-service battles unfold, Deadpool smashes the fourth wall and declares, “Fans have been anticipating this confrontation for years.” Let me clarify why these fights hold such significance.

Following their arrival in the Void, a disagreement ensues between the named figures, leading to Wolverine drawing his claws. In an anticipatory moment before their confrontation, Deadpool turns to the audience through the fourth wall, acknowledging the long-awaited nature of this fight and expressing the importance of delivering an impressive show. The scene unfolds in a dramatic slow-motion sequence, with Deadpool displaying his skills as he reloads his weapons prior to their intense brawl.
Deadpool and Wolverine, portrayed by these actors within the Fox universe, share a deep-rooted history. They initially crossed paths in 1994’s “Wolverine” #88 comic, where they became unlikely allies and adversaries. Fans witnessed their tumultuous friendship as they engaged in numerous brawls. The first live-action rendition of Wade Wilson/Deadpool appeared in 2009’s “X-Men Origins: Wolverine,” but fans didn’t truly appreciate his portrayal until the solo Deadpool films. Known for his non-stop gabbing, Deadpool earned his nickname, Merc with a Mouth, and provoked numerous X-Men members, including Wolverine, in the latest movie. With their long-awaited on-screen reunion, fans were thrilled to witness these immortal mutants engage in an epic showdown. Contrary to popular belief, they don’t actually kill each other in the end.
Wolverine and Sabertooth
In one of the trailers, it’s teased that Marvel fans will finally witness an epic battle they’ve been eagerly anticipating: Wolverine versus Sabretooth. Following their intense clash with Deadpool in the Void, these formidable characters come across a ferocious gang reminiscent of Mad Max’s War Boys. Among this motley crew are lesser-known Marvel characters such as Pyro, Toad, and Sabretooth – a complex character from the comics who has previously been portrayed by two different actors.
In the X-Men franchise, the initial appearance of Sabertooth, played by Tyler Mane, was seen in the 2000 film “X-Men.” Mane subsequently reappeared as the character in “Deadpool & Wolverine” for a major fight. However, Sabertooth has been portrayed by another actor as well – Liev Schreiber took on the role in “X-Men Origins: Wolverine,” where Deadpool first appeared. In this rendition, Sabertooth is revealed to be Wolverine’s half-brother. Throughout the MCU timeline, these two characters have clashed multiple times and engaged in fights in both “X-Men” and “X-Men Origins: Wolverine.” After a long hiatus, they come face to face once again in the latest movie, causing Deadpool to make a comment that fans have eagerly anticipated.
