Deadpool & Wolverine featured plenty of big cameos, though characters from the Sacred Timeline were largely relegated to monitors in the TVA. That made sense for the story being told, of course, but one scene, in particular, has generated a lot of discussion online.
We are, of course, talking about the moment Deadpool seems his future self being cradled in the arms of a crying Thor. It's widely believed the God of Thunder's side of the scene was courtesy of footage recycled from Thor: The Dark World.
Many fans believe this was meant as a tease for the important role Wade Wilson is destined to play in the Sacred Timeline, while others argue it was just a meaningless gag meant to be used as a running joke and little else.
We'll have to wait and see, but Chris Hemsworth has now chimed in on his cameo by responding to Ryan Reynolds' recent X post with, "I can keep secrets too." That prompted his fellow actor to fire back with, "Hahaha. Australians are actually terrible secret keepers. That’s why we didn’t tell Hugh he was shooting a Wolverine movie til halfway through filming."
It looks like Reynolds plans to continue having fun with these Easter Eggs on social media and it's a smart way to keep fans talking about the latest MCU movie.
Check out his and Hemsworth's Deadpool & Wolverine exchange below.
In our review Deadpool & Wolverine last week - which you can read by clicking here - we concluded by saying, "A contender for the best superhero movie ever, Deadpool & Wolverine is two hours of Ryan Reynolds and Hugh Jackman proving they were born to play these roles and, crucially, be part of the MCU. It’s a f***ing masterpiece."
