Synopsis:

Months back, clickbait merchants and rumour mongers were keen to share news that there would be some kind of Deadpool connection in the ill-fated Dark Phoenix movie. While this somewhat manifested a year earlier in Deadpool 2 with the X-Men's cameo in that film, there was no surprise cameo from Wade for this. So while binging both movies I worked out a way of integrating several choice scenes from Deadpool 2 into a cut of Dark Phoenix that gives the movie not just something that brings two well received X-Film franchises together (and yes, the fact both of these films have the same initials in their titles doesn't escape me), but also provides closure to the series that doesn't corrupt the timeline the way the original version of Dark Phoenix did, and also sets up a hypothetical fifth film in the First Class timeline to show the saga of the X-Men really ought to have continued. Two other minor tweeks aside, I left the rest of the movie alone.


Intentions:

Dark Phoenix is a pretty downbeat movie, with barely any humour, so short bursts of Wade provide some light relief.


Change List:

- Added FANEDIT.ORG Logo to beginning - Cut the 'X-Women' lines from Raven - Integrated the Deadpool and Colossus scene from Deadpool 2 where the X-Men narrowly avoid being seen by Wade - Just after we meet the aliens , I Integrated the scene where Colossus tries to persuade Wade into joining the team on a mission, with Wade saying bad things will happen, this leads directly into the scene the X-Men first confront Jean and Raven is killed - End credits feature a very special performance of Celine Dion's 'Ashes' from Deadpool 2 - Deadpool uses Cable's time device to change history and undo the events of the film. - Post-credits is Cable time-jumping from the future to the present to set that part up. The saga continues.
