Bunn, a prolific Deadpool writer, revealed he didn't initially plan a trilogy. His initial pitch was Deadpool Kills the Marvel Multiverse, a concept he felt was perfectly timed for this latest installment.

The challenge of escalating the conflict led to the multiverse setting. This time, Deadpool faces off against variants like Cap-Wolves and Worldbreaker Hulks, along with entirely new, twisted versions of Marvel heroes and villains. Bunn extensively researched "the best" (worst) variants for maximum impact, creating what he calls "the most epic Deadpool story of all time."

While remaining tight-lipped on specific matchups, Bunn confirmed the inclusion of obscure characters unseen in over 30 years. Talajić's artistic style will again be a highlight, showcasing different multiverse realities and a radically different version of [REDACTED].

Unlike the previous two books, which offered separate reasons for Deadpool's killing spree, this installment offers a fresh start, though observant readers may find connections to earlier entries. Crucially, it stands alone.

This Deadpool, Bunn claims, is more sympathetic than his predecessors. The narrative explores the question: "What if Deadpool killed the Marvel Universe... and we were rooting for him to succeed?"
