The X-Men’s Dumbest Movie Death Still Makes No Sense

Given that Ryan Reynolds’ Wade Wilson (who himself was poorly handled in his first big-screen outing) will enter the MCU with Hugh Jackman’s Logan at his side in «Deadpool 3,» there’s no reason that Darwin couldn’t be another character to return under new management. Besides leaving a terrible draft in the Marvel Cinematic Universe lately, the doorways that have opened up between worlds will have undoubtedly pushed out and pulled in varying forms of energy, and Darwin could be among it all. 

It doesn’t have to be a perfectly timed arrival with the introduction of the X-Men, either. Darwin’s re-forming could be a slow process but one that, if applied, could also provide a second chance for the star behind the role, Edi Gathegi. 

As brief as it was, Gathegi still managed to bring a brilliant and welcoming performance to the role of Darwin, which is why his death (as illogical as it was) was all the more heartbreaking. Keeping that in mind, there’d be no need to recast the role, and he could simply return, albeit a little older, and be applied in a far better capacity for the X-Men than he was before. Come on, Marvel; you’re already bringing two characters over that are nearly impossible to kill. What’s one more added to the roster?
