Cullen Bunn's Deadpool Kills the Marvel Universe trilogy concludes with Deadpool Kills the Marvel Universe One Last Time, a multiversal massacre featuring a surprisingly sympathetic Merc with a Mouth. This isn't just another bloodbath; it's a story that stands alone while subtly connecting to its predecessors.
IGN recently interviewed Bunn, revealing that while he initially pitched a multiverse story alongside other ideas (Deadpool Kills the Marvel Cosmic Universe, Deadpool Kills the Marvel Zombies, etc.), the timing is now perfect for this epic finale. The expanded scope allows for battles against wildly different versions of Marvel heroes and villains, from Cap-Wolves to Worldbreaker Hulks, and even obscure characters unseen in decades. Bunn emphasizes the "best" (meaning "worst") variants of heroes and villains were selected for maximum carnage.
Artist Dalibor Talajić, who previously experimented with artistic styles in Deadpool Kills the Marvel Universe Again, will continue to push visual boundaries, particularly in depicting different multiversal realities and a never-before-seen version of [REDACTED].
While each Deadpool Kills the Marvel Universe story is self-contained, Bunn hints at subtle connections between this installment and the previous two. This time, however, the focus is on a more sympathetic Deadpool, whose motivations and mental state will surprise readers. Bunn challenges the reader to root for Deadpool's success in his ultimate mission.
Deadpool Kills the Marvel Universe One Last Time #1 releases April 2, 2025.
