There are a lot of fans out there that have been hoping that Marvel and 20th Century fox could come to some sort of agreement to include the X-Men into the MCU. While this doesn't seem likely right now, there has been a link established connecting the MCU to the Deadpool movie, although it's an accidental one. Check this out...
There's a scene in that was cut from Deadpool that showed Ajax (played by Ed Skrein) being brought to shore after leaving "The Raft Prison." Why this scene was cut, I have
no idea, but it ties into the movie Captain America: Civil War. In that movie, after Captain America and Bucky Barnes escape to Siberia at the end of the fight at Leipzig/Halle Airport, the rest of Team Cap, which included Scarlett Witch, Falcon, Hawkeye, and Ant-Man, get captured and sent to an underwater prison at the bottom of the Atlantic Ocean called "The Raft." Duh! Duh! Duh! (That was supposed to be a suspenseful sound effect.)
Now you might be thinking that the creators of Deadpool cut the scene at the request of Marvel, but that doesn't seem very likely. Deadpool hit theaters nearly four months earlier than Captain America: Civil War, and it's highly unlikely that either production company had been sharing information on their competing films prior to either of them being released. It's just a happy coincidence for Marvel that the scene had been cut from Deadpool and that it never made it into the final cut.
So whether or not Marvel and 20th Century Fox ever come to an agreement to share the rights to their properties which would allow the rest of the Marvel characters join the MCU, fans will have to make due with this little connection. I know it's not much, but it's still pretty cool!
(By the way, I love that cat sticking his tongue out in the picture above. Hilarious!)
