'Deadpool' Spoilers: Crosses Paths with 'X-Men' Films; Wolverine Appearance
The upcoming "Deadpool" movie is expected to take place in the same universe as previous "X-Men" movies.
According to the producer of the film, Simon Kindberg, the film's story arc will be set in the shared universe of previously released "X-Men" films. However, the film will not be in the same time line as the most recently aired "X-Men" movie "Days of Future Past."
Kindberg explained to Collider that "Deadpool" will be set in the present but will acknowledge the past happenings of the previous movies. This also opens the chance of different "X-Men" characters joining the story.
