Deadpool 3is out in just a few months' time and yet the meta Marvel movie’s plot is still pretty much a secret. Thanks to its first teaser, though, we do know it’ll see the titular Wade Wilson team up with the TVA – and transition into a bonafide Avengers-type hero, maybe – and that there’ll be cameos.CyclopsandPyro, anyone?

If you’ve watched Loki, you’ll know that the Sacred Timeline was destroyed when Sylvie (Sophia Di Martino) killed He Who Remains (Jonathan Majors) in the season 1 finale. Season 2 of the Disney Plus show subsequently revolved around Loki (Tom Hiddleston) and his pals trying to find a way to stop the broken timeline from destroying… well, everything.

Naturally, then, viewers are worried that if Deadpool does in fact “save the Sacred Timeline”, it’ll retcon Loki’s selfless act, and possibly even render the entire series pointless.
