The 2011 series Deadpool Kills the Marvel Universe earned its reputation by showing Wade Wilson's ultimate rampage through Marvel's hero roster. After its success spawned the 2017 sequel Deadpool Kills the Marvel Universe Again, writer Cullen Bunn and artist Dalibor Talajić reunite for the epic conclusion - Deadpool Kills the Marvel Universe One Last Time. This time, Wade's murderous campaign expands beyond a single reality to engulf the entire Marvel multiverse.
Behind the Scenes of Deadpool's Final Bloodbath
In an exclusive interview with IGN, Bunn shared insights about completing his Deadpool trilogy. The writer admits he never initially planned for the concept to become a franchise, though his creative mind naturally explored possibilities for escalation:
"I never knew that series would go anywhere beyond me having fun writing a comic. But I constantly ask myself 'what's next?' During the original series, I actually pitched Deadpool Kills the Marvel Multiverse alongside other concepts like Deadpool's Secret Wars. Now feels like the perfect time for this explosive finale."
A Multiversal Massacre Begins
The creative team faced the challenge of topping previous installments where Deadpool already eliminated Marvel's biggest teams. The solution? Unleashing Wade across alternate realities featuring twisted versions of familiar characters:
"The multiverse opens incredible opportunities. We're showcasing Deadpool battling everything from Cap-Wolves to Worldbreaker Hulks and obscure variants some readers haven't seen in decades. Without realizing it, we've created the most epic Deadpool story ever."
Talajić's artwork promises visual experimentation, though different from the stylistic shifts of the previous sequel. This time, his creativity shines through unique interpretations of alternate worlds and a never-before-seen rendition of [REDACTED].
Standalone Yet Connected
While each series presents a self-contained scenario for Deadpool's rampage - from existential crisis to mind control - Bunn teases subtle connections:
"This finale works independently, though observant readers might spot ties to previous stories. Most importantly, we made Deadpool more sympathetic - what if you actually rooted for him to succeed this time?"
Deadpool Kills the Marvel Universe One Last Time #1 arrives April 2, 2025, concluding Bunn's acclaimed trilogy with multiversal mayhem.
