How do you integrate Deadpool into MCU?

So it looks like Marvel plans to integrate Deadpool (as the only Fox related property) into the MCU. The only issue I have with this is that if you bring in Deadpool, you also bring him with his characters that he’s interacting with, namely X-force. So how do you bring in Deadpool while simultaneously ignoring X-force. Isn’t X-Force an X-Men group?? Your essentially accepting the existance of Fox’s X-Men by doing this! They need to find a way to reboot Deadpool, but still use Ryan Reynolds IMO.

Depends a lot on how they do it.

For example, it's not clear to me whether Deadpool actually is speaking to the audience, or in his madness just THINKS he's speaking to an imaginary audience.

If it's the former, then he could show up anywhere as a "meta" narrative gimmick. If it's the latter, he can just show up on his own, and any references to mutants or X-Men could be brushed off by other characters as Deadpool's insane ravings.

Didn't Marvel or Disney finally buy the rights to the X-Men, and everything associated with them? The X-Men movies are on Disney+ now, it must have happened.

The rights were probably marked way down, after that "Dark Phoenix" mess.

And for those who think a PG13 'Pool wouldn't work, take a look at the episode Ultimate Deadpool from the second season of Ultimate Spider-Man.

If Deadpool 3 is anything less than R-Rated, you can count on the fanbase revolting over it and I've questioned this on how Marvel/Disney plans to handle this now that the Mouse owns this and not FOX??
