The larger MCU world is introduced to the novel idea of "Anchor Beings" in Marvel's Deadpool & Wolverine. Anchor creatures are essential to Deadpool's upcoming film, and they play a major role in the reason Hugh Jackman is reprising his role as Wolverine after his death in 2017's Logan. But after making their debut in this next MCU film, there could possibly be a larger role for anchor beings that is still unknown.
 

Ryan Reynolds and Hugh Jackman at last get the team-up that fans have been waiting for since 2009's X-Men Origins: Wolverine in Deadpool & Wolverine. As they set off on an epic multiversal quest, it becomes clear that Wolverine is essential to Deadpool since he may be an "anchor being". This is what we now know about the "anchor beings" from Deadpool and Wolverine, as well as potential future developments for the MCU multiverse.
 

As per mister Paradox of the TVA in Deadpool & Wolverine, "anchor beings" are particular individuals of great importance who play a crucial role in maintaining the continuity of their world. After that entity is eliminated or murdered, their world progressively deteriorates in their absence. That core character in the Fox X-Men world, Earth-10005, was none other than Hugh Jackman's Wolverine—the same character who lost his life in 2017's Logan in order to save Laura Kinney of X-23.
 

Although the decay of a reality without its anchor is supposed to take many millennia, Paradox is impatient and has instead invented the Time Ripper, a gadget that can instantly erase an entire reality. Wade is given the option to become a part of Earth-616 and the Sacred Timeline, but only if he abandons his world and lets it perish—something Deadpool doesn't do by default. Wade, however, makes the decision to locate a new Wolverine from an other universe to act as a stand-in anchor creature in the hopes of successfully bringing his world back to balance and saving the people he loves.
