It’s incredible!
The MCU has been called out for its lack of LGBTQ+ representation, with even the inclusion of Brian Tyree Henry's Phastos as the franchise’s first openly gay hero in Eternals being far from prominent.
More recently, the beloved X-Men ‘97 has led to viewers shipping Wolverine’s potential with Morph.
On the cover of Wolverine & Deadpool: Decoy Vol 1 Wade Wilson rocks a sexy Phoenix outfit. With the X-Men being so rich in LGBTQ+ history, it’s a shame that a character with a legacy like Deadpool has been accused of queerbaiting at the movies.
A 2016 cover for The Guardian’s The Guide promoted the first Deadpool via a glossy cover featuring a speech bubble that read, “Hey, wanna read an article about a foul-mouthed pansexual assassin?” It's ironic that Deadpool director Tim Miller told Collider he wanted it “quoted” that Deadpool is pansexual, but aside from the odd crass joke about fondling Wolverine’s testicles to get his own movie, the Deadpool franchise has yet to explore the character’s sexuality aside from him being in a heterosexual relationship with Morena Baccarin’s Vanessa.

So not dismissive, but rather the epitome of inclusive.” However, Marvel Studios has kept his portrayal strictly heterosexual onscreen, despite already being banned in China, and not needing to appease the censors there.
Of course, it’s not wrong to find these moments funny – they’re designed to be.
'It was a really interesting choice for Marvel to pack Deadpool & Wolverine with relentless and exhausting gay jokes,' a third tweet read. Instead, queer narratives are made into punchlines or disguised as ‘brotherhood’ and then dropped entirely.
In both cases, there is a glaring trade-off.
Ultimately, both films reaffirm heteronormativity.
'I kept waiting for them to get off the stupid gay jokes and find some new material,' someone else scathed.
Others, however, came to the movie's defense and said they enjoyed the humorous approach to the topic. In the comics, Wilson is confident, forthright, and unashamed of his sexuality.
It could only be positive to bring his example to the screen. It cuts right to the core of their chaotic chemistry. Thanos’ efforts to keep them apart also created the infamous ‘no pickles’ Deadpool. The soundtrack also contributes to this sensation, as the aforementioned fight scene is scored with “You’re the One That I Want” from Grease.
It was on the pages of 2013’s X-Treme X-Men #10 that the pair finally confessed their love for each other.
