Deadpool Is Changing Genres For New Multiversal Marvel Series

Published Aug 4, 2026, 10:00 PM EDT

An experienced Editor representing Canada via ScreenRant's Team Anime, J.R. has been reading manga since the first printing of Shonen Jump in North America. This passion drove him to write about anime, manga, and manhwa since 2022, having recently served as Lead Anime Editor for ComicBook.com.

His favorite moments in media coverage include reviewing the series premieres of Zom 100 and Bleach: TYBW Part 2 back-to-back and briefly meeting Junji Ito at a VIZ gallery event in 2023.

Recently revealed on July 24, 2026 by WEBTOON, Marvel and the popular mobile comic distributor are teaming up and have revealed the first wave of Marvel x WEBTOON collaboration series. While each of them channel different aspects of what there is to love about South Korean creators' take on mobile webcomics, with Tony's Girl asking "What if Iron Man's early days were like a K-drama?" while X-Men Korea would fit right at home with other contemporaries like Jungle Juice. But perhaps the most far-reaching implications, with the most fun easter egg potential, is That Time Deadpool Fell Into WEBTOON...and Found The Longest Title of All Time!!!, which may be his most ambitious isekai journey yet.

Deadpool Changes Genres As Marvel Unveils New Upcoming Series

While That Time Deadpool Fell Into WEBTOON...and Found The Longest Title of All Time!!! feels arguably more at home among Japanese isekai light novels and anime, the world of webtoons has certainly featured its fair share of long-winded titles in the genre. The new series has yet to confirm its release date, but has confirmed Ucheomaaa of Vibe Check! to be the series writer, with Annie Huang as the illustrator. The series also removes any doubts about the scope of this series, diving into a potentially vast multiversal cluster of worlds, peoples, stories, and art styles inhabited by what it deems the "WEBTOON-verse".

Deadpool becomes the target of a trap that sucks him into the chaotic WEBTOON-verse where regency drama, superhuman cage matches, post-apocalyptic wastelands, and terrifyingly well-dressed Korean teens stand between him and a way back home.​

Just what exactly the trap is, remains to be seen that could draw Deadpool in, whether a portal into a smartphone or any number of possibilities. But with endless potential for adventures, and numerous shout outs to various webtoon staples found across the platform and realistically the whole medium, this series is a beautiful mystery for now. However, one can dive into the small cluster of clues left behind by the press release.

Marvel's WEBTOON Collab Hints At Iconic Stories & Worlds Deadpool Will Visit

While the worlds Deadpool is hinted at exploring in the new WEBTOON isekai series are not explicitly named, it doesn't take manhwa aficionados much time at all to decipher what potential stories could get a rude interruption by the Marvel icon. One can reasonably assume it'll incorporate stories within the Naver/LINE WEBTOON umbrella with potential for characters from the PTJ, Blue String, Super String, or shared Carnby universe. But the specific, detailed references could easily be hints at upcoming collaborations ahead.

The Marvel press release's hints and potential universes include Combat Ward and The Fistfighting Mage (superhuman cage matches) to give Deadpool a glimpse at the sort of gorgeous action entailed in WEBTOON stories. Regency drama immediately conjures up notions of Deadpool falling into the worlds of stories like The Remarried Empress, which would certainly inject the formula with a healthy dose of confusion. Well-dressed teens could easily hint at Lookism, while post-apocalyptic wastelands would ideally feature the stories and iconic characters of Omniscient Reader and The World After the Fall, creating an incredible well of potential for the series, even if it only settles for one or two substantial glimpses at the stories of the WEBTOON-verse.

But for now, there's little else known other than Deadpool being accompanied by Red Pandapool, and the villainous K-Pool in the new story. Checking the usual boxes but with the novelty of a massive array of webtoon universes, That Time Deadpool Fell Into WEBTOON...and Found The Longest Title of All Time!!! may be far more vast than readers could hope to anticipate. Be sure to stay tuned for all future updates.
