Well I had a bit of a solution were if it was a continuation of the previous fix X-Men movies where Apocalypse returns by getting new horseman to make the final chapter or if I would have gone with Madcap who had became a personal enemy of Deadpool.
i understand why you percieve the multiverse concept lazy for big budget franchises since it banks off a lot of nostalgia. i would say the spider-verse movies are the right way to do it, particularly since i pretty much held very little attachment to the cameos besides "i know that guy!" i'll go watch deadpool 3 no matter what, i'm interested to see why this is hugh jackman's second attempt at playing wolverine for the last time. again, i have no attachment to the x-men movies either besides watching logan so the nostalgia will have little effect i think it's easy to do a multiverse movie wrong and just use it as a cheap nostalgia grab, but it definitely has been done right (everything everywhere all at once is a non-superhero franchise example)
