However, this is saved from being overtly romantic – Fassbender tells McAvoy they’re “brothers” before clarifying “all of us, together”. Even though he was essentially Cap’s trigger man he still had a crush on the patriot.
It was also hinted that he was involved in a throuple with Jean Grey and Cyclops.
Some people were not unhappy with the jokes themselves, but with the fact that the movie included so many gay jabs but didn't actually feature Deadpool and Wolverine getting together in the end.
'It really rubbed me the wrong way that Deadpool referred to gay people as "the gays" in the new movie as if he isn't queer himself,' someone else said.
'I hate how his queerness is only ever played as a joke and never once sincerely.'
'Had a discussion today with a rando about Deadpool's sexuality - I thought it would be interesting if it was an actual plot element instead of a comedic crutch in the new one,' another tweet read.
While promoting the movie, Marvel released a series of posters that seemed to hint that Deadpool and Wolverine would become romantically involved
One featured their hands forming a heart together with the letters 'D + W' etched in the background, similar to what lovers carve into a tree.
'There's a lot of jokes sure, but they aren't like, making fun of gay people/the subject matter,' one person defended.
'I thought they were in fact funny because it never felt like they were making fun of Deadpool for being gay,' another agreed. One ‘fight’ scene, for example, ends with a car bouncing suggestively, followed by a shot of the two sleeping next to each other. Deadpool’s sexual reactions to Wolverine, references to pegging, and homoerotic imagery—like Wolverine on his hands and knees—are all played for laughs.
Whilst both films center the relationship between their male leads, queer aspects of these relationships are either brushed aside or rooted in comedy. This is just one panel, but there are more out there.
The X-Men have also tried to show their pride on the silver screen, with Sir Ian McKellen telling BuzzFeed how Bryan Singer sold him on the idea of playing Magneto in 2000’s X-Men on the basis of the team’s gay allegory.
Deadpool & Wolverine posters of our titular heroes holding hands with Taylor Swift-inspired bracelets suggest it will be more outdated jokes rather than actually exploring these themes, but while the whole joke of “Hey, these bros are gay for each other” might be running a little thin, the times are changing.
This marked an important milestone for Marvel due to Vuong being a non-binary assassin.
'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. Fans incorrectly pinpoint Shatterstar and Rictor locking lips as Marvel’s first gay kiss in 2009’s X-Factor #45, although that’s not to take away from this landmark moment as a first for two major characters.
Ryan Reynolds' foul-mouthed Merc with a Mouth joins forces with arguably the most famous member of Charles Xavier’s gifted youngsters, as Deadpool & Wolverine hopes to claw its way to the top of the box office for this X-rated (well, R-rated) X-Men movie.
Disney has gone hard on marketing Deadpool & Wolverine as the ultimate bromance, but for some, the constant jokes that the pair are “gay” for each other have fallen flat.
The internet is divided over the 'constant gay jokes' in Deadpool & Wolverine - with some people branding them as 'relentless and annoying' and others coming to the film's defense
The Marvel movie hit theaters on Friday, and it raked in a whopping $211 million at the box office in its first weekend
'Me when Deadpool makes the fifth joke in a row where the punchline is "being gay,"' added another user along with a GIF that featured someone drinking bleach.
In contrast, Deadpool uses humour to explore homoeroticism that would be scandalously explicit in the more intimate tone of the X-Men films.
Mystique (born with blue skin but able to change her appearance) can only be accepted if she hides her true self. Deadpool and Wolverine concludes with Deadpool holding Vanessa’s hand. When Cyclops and Wolverine discussed the idea of “Scott in a Speedo,” Wolvie added, “Well, who could say no to that?" Despite it all being subtext, a dying Jean telepathically telling both of them that she loves them in X-Men: Hellfire Gala 2023 #1 has confirmed the trio's tryst as some people's headcanon.
However, one form of marginalization which remains problematic in the superhero universe is that of queerness.
Despite moments of sincere emotion in Deadpool and Wolverine, the sexual tension between the two male leads exists primarily as comic relief.
