Is Deadpool part of the X-Men film series?

[Manute Bol]

Wikipedia describes it as "the eighth installment in the X-Men film series."

I have a hard time accepting that and look at it more as it's own film.

What's the consensus here?

[xCompackx]

Given it directly shows Xavier's school and has two students from that school in the movie, I'd say it definitely qualifies.

Very much set in the X-Men universe.

[Manute Bol]

I'm not great with the timeline of these movies, but would Deadpool's part in Wolvering Origins make sense if Deadpool is part of the series?

Nobody cares about Origins.

Hell if anything, Origins shouldn't be considered part of the Xmen universe. Just a meth head's fever dream.

[El Pollo Guerrera]

No, the X-Men are part of Deadpool's universe.

[Mighty Attack Tribble]

According to the screenwriters, yes, he is, though how exactly hasn't been decided yet:

And we are part of the X universe, and that is important. Simon Kinberg is our producer and he kind of minds the store in regards to the X universe, so we are fitting into the larger timeline … Deadpool is very much of that world and I think sooner or later we’ll cross over into that world. I mean, we’re not sure when that would be. Probably, if I’d have to guess, we would do a standalone sequel before he entered the actual ensemble movies, but I think at some point it will cross over and it needs to fit.

[The Heartbreak TWERK]

100% in the X-Men Universe, without question.

I feel like they'll reference this someway or another in Deadpool 2.

[Bub (BLM)]

Yeah. It's set in the future timeline that was created at the end of Days of Future Past. Only way to explain the completely different Colossus.

It was actually planned to have been the same Colossus. Daniel Cudmore was offered the chance to reprise the role, but turned it down. It wasn't until then that they chose to take Colossus in a different direction. The guy's gotta be kicking himself now.

After the events of Days Of Futres Past,  Origins is no more.  So How Deadpool became Deadpool would be completely different in the new timeline.

Also, the Wade Wilson part of Origins takes place in 1973 and the "Deadpool" part in 1979, while Deadpool is clearly present day. No way you can reconcile that time gap if Deadpool and Origins were part of the same timeline.

Well, if Hugh Jackman's in DEADPOOL 2 like they've been teasing (and I swear a couple months ago they completely shot down that - yet headlines still show up suggesting Jackman's in on it) then yes - it is.

[Kevin Hamilton]

[Zombie Mod]

i'm saying no.

I think it's in a bubble universe which only Deadpool can interact with things from outside of it, explains the differences in colossus and the "is it the mcavoy or stewart version?" line from Deadpool.

[Deleted]

It is absolutely in the X-Men universe. It's not even debatable.

It certainly has its own "vibe" but that doesn't make it a separate world.

Also, as for Origins/Deadpool confusion: The timeline was rewritten in DOFP. Origins was set in the original timeline, Deadpool is set in the revised timeline.

[Deleted]

The X-films had a enough plot holes / conflicting events and characters, so to me it fits right in!

[Alice Syndrome]

Yeah, it's the 2016 of the new continuity.

Origins: Wolverine is pretty much non-canon now. Hell, I think Emma Frost being a villain in First Class already showed they were planning to pretend it never happened that far back. Now it's only there to be the butt of jokes.
