Deadpool 4 (2025) pushes the franchise’s chaotic energy to new heights as Wade Wilson finds himself tangled in a multiverse crisis that is far bigger, louder, and far more ridiculous than anything he has faced before. The film begins with Deadpool attempting to live a semi-normal life with Vanessa after the events of the previous installment. However, peace doesn’t last long when a mysterious rupture in the multiverse opens portals across their world, unleashing versions of heroes and villains that were never meant to meet. Wade, reluctantly recruited once again by the TVA, realizes he must fix the very mess he accidentally helped create.
As Deadpool travels through fractured timelines, he encounters alternate versions of himself, each more absurd than the last. One Deadpool is a disciplined samurai, another is a noir-style detective, and one is a completely unhinged animated version that constantly breaks every rule of logic. These encounters create both comedic chaos and moments of unexpected introspection, forcing Wade to confront the emotional damage he hides beneath jokes and violence. Meanwhile, the central threat emerges in the form of an alternate Wade who has embraced pure destruction, a Deadpool without morals or limits, determined to collapse all worlds into his own twisted version of reality.
The plot thickens as Deadpool teams up with returning allies, including Colossus and Domino, who try to keep him focused while navigating timelines filled with bizarre cameos and shifting realities. Their mission takes them through apocalyptic landscapes, corrupted versions of familiar cities, and even a universe where superheroes are outlawed entirely. Each environment showcases fresh action sequences that blend humor and brutality in the series’ signature style.
Amid the chaos, Vanessa becomes a crucial emotional anchor, reminding Wade of the life he wants to protect. Her involvement creates more personal stakes, especially as she becomes targeted by the alternate Deadpool seeking to erase the original Wade’s motivations for heroism. The conflict forces Wade to realize that his greatest weakness is not physical vulnerability but the fear of losing the people he loves.
The climactic battle features multiple Deadpools clashing in a surreal, comedic war zone where fourth-wall breaks become weapons and reality bends under the weight of their nonsense. Wade ultimately defeats his darker counterpart by embracing the very flaws he once feared, proving that his messy humanity is what makes him unique.
The film concludes with the multiverse repaired—mostly—and Wade returning home with renewed perspective. Even as the TVA warns that his involvement has created “unpredictable long-term anomalies,” Deadpool simply winks at the audience, promising that his story is far from over.
