Disney Parks is finally acknowledging that Wade Wilson aka Deadpool is part of the Marvel Cinematic Universe.

Eagle-eyed fans can spot a mention of Deadpool at Avengers Campus in Disneyland Paris on one of the park's newest attractions, Avengers Assemble: Flight Force, opening at the resort's Walt Disney Studios Park on July 20.

During a media preview event for Avengers Campus, Insider spied the reference to the Merc with a Mouth during an approximately nine-minute video inside the attraction's queue.

On Avengers Assemble: Flight Force, Tony Stark/Iron Man's artificial intelligence, F.R.I.D.A.Y., alerts the superhero about a Kree missile that's heading towards Earth.

Tony knows he can't destroy the missile alone and starts going through his Rolodex of contacts for someone to reach out to for help.

That's where Deadpool comes into play.

As Tony's trying to get a hold of someone else to dial, names of various Marvel characters flash by on the screen.

Deadpool is featured under a "Do Not Contact" list of Marvel characters which also includes Kraglin, Nebula, and Yondu of the Guardians of the Galaxy, Loki, Brock Rumlov aka Crossbones, Sonny Burch ("Ant-Man and the Wasp" villain"), and former Stark Industries' scientist William Ginter Riva who reappeared in 2019's "Spider-Man: Far From Home" working with Mysterio.

When Iron Man pulls up Deadpool's file, a note specifically reads, "Do not affiliate." (Poor Deadpool.)

Unfortunately, we never see Reynolds make a cameo appearance, but that would've been fun.

Ant-Man, Rocket Raccoon, Ms. Marvel, Captain Marvel, and Captain America also appear in the video

We do see some other heroes on screen, though. In the queue video, Iron Man reaches out to Ant-Man, Rocket Raccoon of the Guardians of the Galaxy, Captain America/Sam Wilson, and Ms. Marvel.

All of them are busy with their own adventures.

Each video is a reward to Disney and Marvel fans who have been to other Disney parks and experiences around the globe.

The Rocket Raccoon footage appears to reference Disneyland's "Guardians of the Galaxy — Mission: Breakout!" attraction in California. The Ms. Marvel video features footage of the character in her new superhero costume alongside Captain America/Sam Wilson on the new Disney Wish cruise. The Ant-Man video appears to reference Hong Kong Disneyland's "Ant-Man and the Wasp" attraction, Nano Battle.

It's thoughtful and impressive to see Disney's effort to give fans a reason to visit each new Avengers offering instead of simply creating a duplicate of each Avengers Campus experience.

Other character names that appear on-screen throughout the queue video include Bucky Barnes, Stephen Strange, James Rhodes, Steve Rogers, the Nova Corps, the X-Con group from the "Ant-Man" films, Wanda Maximoff (who's referred to as the Scarlet Witch), and Happy Hogan.

Additionally, a few younger character names are mentioned that haven't been seen on-screen yet in the MCU: Doreen A. Green aka Squirrel Girl, Gwen Stacy aka Spider-Woman/Spider-Gwen, Lunella Lafayette aka Moon Girl, Takeshi Matsuya aka Wiz Kid, and a tough-to-spot Anya Corazon aka Spider-Girl.

We could be receiving Deadpool news soon

"Deadpool 3" is in the works at Marvel Studios.20th Century Fox

Though Deadpool doesn't make an on-screen appearance at Avengers Campus in Disneyland Paris, we may not have to wait too much longer to hear more from Deadpool in the MCU.

Marvel Studios is expected to make big announcements at San Diego Comic-Con on July 23 during a panel on upcoming projects. We wouldn't be surprised if "Deadpool 3" is among the films discussed.

This isn't the first time Marvel has acknowledged Deadpool's existence in the MCU. Deadpool previously appeared in a short 2021 promo for Reynold's movie "Free Guy" with Taika Waititi's "Thor: Ragnarok" character Korg.
