Deadpool and Wolverine has finally arrived on Disney+, creating the team up of dreams for comic book fans in their epic, all-guns-blazing Marvel debut.
The movie sees Ryan Reynolds and Hugh Jackman star as the titular duo, who join forces when the Merc with a Mouth tries to save his world from being blipped out of existence by the Time Variance Authority. Deadpool believes the only way to do so is to get a new Wolverine to replace his old one, the one that died in 2017’s Logan, and hilarity ensues.
But enough about the main plot, because Marvel fans are no doubt wondering if the threequel has a post-credit scene, or multiple, afterwards. The good news is, Deadpool and Wolverine does continue this tradition, and here is everything you need to know — warning, this article contains spoilers.
While some Marvel movies have leaned towards having two post-credit scenes, Deadpool and Wolverine only has one at the end of the credits.
The reason the film doesn’t have two post-credit scenes is because the majority of the credits is taken up by a fun, sweet celebration of the 20th Century Fox superhero movies from X-Men all the way to Deadpool 2.
Behind the scenes footage and interviews are used from movies like 2003’s Daredevil, 2017’s Logan, and 2000’s X-Men — the last of which shows Jackman talking about how much he wants to live up to fan expectations. It’s a sweet ode to the superhero movies gone by, and a way to bid farewell to the 20th Century Fox era.
The end credits scene is a rather funny one, as is the norm for Deadpool and Wolverine. To understand it we need to backtrack to something that happens earlier in the movie.
Chris Evans reprises his role as Johnny Storm in the Fantastic Four movies, his cameo might be short-lived but it ends on a funny yet shocking note. Deadpool tells villain Cassandra Nova (Emma Corrin) that Johnny used all manner of colourful language to describe her and how he’d rather die by her hands than work for her.
Viewers are led to believe that Deadpool made this all up, and that Johnny didn’t say any of these things about Cassandra. So when the villain kills Johnny we, the audience, are meant to be shocked by his betrayal of the character.
The post-credits scene is Deadpool’s way of setting the record straight. The character tells the audience that he doesn’t want to take the blame for Johnny’s death, and shows footage of a conversation he had with Johnny before meeting Cassandra in which the Human Torch says, word for word, what Deadpool told her.
