Ryan Reynolds should consider a Marvel villain that Deadpool is actually terrified of because he neutralizes his healing factor

Ryan Reynolds should consider a Marvel villain that Deadpool is actually terrified of because he neutralizes his healing factor

There’s a whole host of villains Deadpool could bring in for his next outing, including Wolverine, reportedly. However, few villains can actually do lasting damage to the Merc with a Mouth.

Deadpool could get one of the other generic X-Men villains to be part of his movie, or he could introduce a terrifying villain into the MCU that would be a threat not only to him, but to the likes of Wolverine .

Deadpool 4 should introduce Death Grip to the MCU

Death Grip is a character who has the ability to absorb life forces and souls, which is how he managed to absorb the abilities of the Muramasa Blade, which famously negates any kind of healing factor that heroes like Deadpool and Wolverine have.

Deadpool 4 could introduce the character to the Marvel Cinematic Universe and pose a threat to everyone from Deadpool to Wolverine, and other mutants who also have a healing factor. Considering that magic seriously exists in the MCU, it won’t be a problem for Deadpool to take on a villain who wields magic.

Perhaps the movie could have Doctor Strange, Iron Fist, and Moon Knight assisting Wolverine and Deadpool. This could allow Deadpool to interact with other parts of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, which could create the sense of cohesion that the universe has lacked for so long.

Death Grip could be introduced in a Wolverine movie instead

Wolverine in the Marvel Cinematic Universe is played by Hugh Jackman for a while yet. This means that Wolverine could get another solo movie, which could also introduce a character like Death Grip. The Muramasa Blade appeared in the comics as a tool against Wolverine, one of his own sons, Daken, fused with its claws to fight his father.

This could result in a story where Death Grip and Daken are fused into the same character, as a unique villain for Wolverine to face. The Wolverine that the audience saw Deadpool and Wolverine still had some unresolved guilt, which could come in the form of him getting a second chance to be there for the ones he loves (his kids) and screwing up again.
