According to the current ticket sales and box office of "Deadpool and Wolverine" Judging from the tracking data, it seems that this movie will be a huge success, and Marvel will naturally want to use Deadpool's presence in the MCU as much as possible.
If Deadpool 4 becomes a reality, Marvel could introduce Wade to a slew of new upcoming heroes, including ones he's never crossed paths with in the Fox universe. Such a prospect undoubtedly fills the hearts of every comic fan with anticipation and excitement.
"Deadpool 4" is about the X-Men
Deadpool, a hero known as a lone ranger, has a long and complicated history with the X-Men in the comics. He had joined the team many times and fought side by side in decisive battles.
Although the "Deadpool" movies share the setting of the Fox universe with the "X-Men" movies, Deadpool has always kept his distance from the X-Men. He did team up with a few notable mutants, like Colossus and Cable, but his notable interactions with the X-Men cast, aside from a hilarious cameo in Deadpool 2, were Almost zero.
Since the X-Men have not yet officially appeared in the main Marvel universe (mcu), Deadpool may become one of the first mutant members in the mcu. Together with Ms. Marvel and Namor, he forms a small Small pioneer groups.

Deadpool is one of the few characters in the MCU who understands the X-Men, which means he can help recruit and build the MCU's X-Men team without having to join them.
Such a setting allows Marvel to introduce a new version of the X-Men through a character that is generally familiar to the audience.
"Deadpool 4" is about character growth
The collaboration between Deadpool and the X-Men will undoubtedly be the treasure of the series, bringing the exciting interaction that the audience has longed for. Not only is this the next logical chapter in Wade Wilson's character development, it's a testament to spiritual growth.
Deadpool was originally an independent hero who only wanted revenge on the man who gave him his powers but left him completely disfigured. During that journey of revenge, he was aided by the Steelers and Black Queen, which made him more accepting of others.
In Deadpool 2, he added Cable and Domino to the team and even attempted to form the X-Force, albeit with disastrous results. He selflessly accepted the mission of saving "Fire Fist" Russell instead of simply killing him.
In "Deadpool and Wolverine", he teamed up with Wolverine to launch his most ambitious mission to date in order to save the multiverse. Wade has gone from an almost entirely selfish, isolated man to a hero willing to work with others, whether it's to save a few people or the entire world.
Working with the X-Men team in "Deadpool 4" will be a natural step in his growth journey.
