Many fans are eager to know the fate of Deadpool & Wolverine‘s team in the Void, as the film’s conclusion has sparked numerous questions and theories. The climax is packed with action, dramatic twists, and surprising revelations that significantly impact the characters’ futures.
So, do Blade, Gambit, and Elektra die in the Void? Here’s a spoiler-filled analysis of Deadpool & Wolverine’s team’s fates, including Johnny Storm’s.
Is Deadpool & Wolverine’s team in the Void dead or alive?
In the Void, the film presents a complex narrative involving multiple characters from various timelines. When we first encountered Alioth, he appeared in a specific manner that reoccurred during the movie’s climax. Alioth’s reappearance, coupled with the concept of Nova’s mutant henchmen hiding and surviving within the Void, suggests a certain fluidity in how characters might exist or endure in this realm.
Following the TVA’s arrest of Paradox, Deadpool questions if there’s any chance to rescue his allies. The TVA agent’s ambiguous response, “we will see what we can do,” leaves the fate of Blade, Gambit, and Elektra unresolved. This creates a Schrödinger’s cat situation where it’s uncertain whether Gambit, Blade, and Elektra die or survive until more details emerge. Here’s a deeper dive into their potential fates:
Chris Evans’s Johnny Storm
Chris Evans’s Johnny Storm in Deadpool & Wolverine, otherwise known as the Human Torch from the Fantastic Four, meets a grim fate in the Void. Cassandra Nova de-skins him alive, and Johnny’s guts turned to goo. He went from “Flame On” to “Flame Off.” This dramatic exit clearly indicates that Deadpool & Wolverine’s Johnny Storm is deceased.
Channing Tatum’s Gambit
Channing Tatum returns as Gambit in the film, sporting his classic Jim Lee-designed costume. His role is nostalgic and lively, but the film leaves his fate rather ambiguous. Despite his significant role in the battle, there’s no clear evidence of his survival or death, leaving fans to speculate.
It is possible that Alioth got him. But given how Laura is treated at the end of Deadpool & Wolverine, it’s also possible for Gambit to be alive.
Wesley Snipes’s Blade
Wesley Snipes reprises his role as Blade, the vampire hunter who helped kick off Marvel’s cinematic success in 1998. Although Blade plays a crucial part in the film and the Void’s battle, his fate remains unresolved, similar to Gambit’s. The film does not show his death or provide closure, leaving his ultimate status uncertain.
Jennifer Garner’s Elektra
Jennifer Garner returns as Elektra, the skilled assassin from the 2003 film. Despite memorable moments and a notable jab at Ben Affleck, the film does not confirm her fate either. Her survival or demise remains ambiguous, similar to that of her two teammates mentioned above.
Dafne Keen’s Laura Kinney / X-23
Dafne Keen returns as Laura Kinney, also known as X-23. Unlike her counterparts, Laura’s fate is more positively depicted. She survives the chaos in the Void and is seen reuniting with Deadpool and Wolverine in the final scenes. This suggests that she was saved by the TVA, as requested by Deadpool and Wolverine unless she is a variant from another timeline. Her fate also hints at the potential survival of Gambit, Blade, and Elektra.
