Marvel have released the final pieces of their wedding jigsaw puzzle today, revealing that Deadpool will be marrying…someone…in April’s Deadpool #27.Your guess is as good as ours, but most fans are leaning toward Death–which could be interesting considering Thanos’s increased Marvel Universe profile (he’s featured in a just-announced original graphic novel) around that same time.So why would the Merc With the Mouth be getting married?“The honest answer is that it was written into a Deadpool story, but more or less as a gag, and Jordan D. White, the editor, was like a dog with a bone,” co-writer Gerry Duggan told Nerdist. “He was like, ‘No, no, no – this is going to be a big deal.’ You know, we wrote it, so it’s not like we weren’t behind it. The fun thing has been – after his misadventures, I guess you’d call them, in North Korea, in the story arc ‘The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly,’ he learned a lot about himself and why he is the way he is. He doesn’t really have too much of a life. Yes, this is a knee-jerk reaction from a wounded guy to go out there and sort of do something crazy to sort of jump start a life, but there is a real emotional reason for doing it, so I think that will be the part that will resonate. Then the actual gags of the wedding will be fun too, but there is a real grounding to it, and that’s what will make it fun to explore.”As to whether the marriage is a stunt that won’t have much in the way of lasting ramifications, Duggan added, “As for how long she’ll be around, I’m not 100% sure, because when you get close to Deadpool, that’s maybe when I start to think about adding you in my deadpool.”
