DEADPOOL & WOLVERINE: [SPOILER] Breaks Down Their Role In That Expletive-Laden Post-Credits Scene

After returning as the Human Torch in Deadpool & Wolverine, Chris Evans has reflected on a post-credits scene which saw him deliver an expletive-laden rant as the Fantastic Four member. Check it out...

Deadpool & Wolverine is packed with cameos, though one of the most memorable comes when Chris Evans makes his first MCU appearance since 2019's Avengers: Endgame

While the threequel initially fools us into thinking the actor is playing a Captain America Variant, it's soon established that he's really the Human Torch. Long before being cast as Steve Rogers, Evans played Johnny Storm in 2005's Fantastic Four and 2007's Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer.

Talking to People, the MCU vet said he didn't hesitate to accept Ryan Reynolds' offer of a role in Deadpool & Wolverine.

"It was a couple years ago and I got a text from Ryan [Reynolds], we're buddies," the actor explained. "He just said, 'Listen, if you don't like this idea, no worries whatsoever. But I have something that could really bring the house down and would let you play a character from your past.' "

"I mean, honestly, I would do anything Ryan asked," Evans continued. "He gave me a great cameo in Free Guy already, and I just trust him completely. So the chance to be Johnny again, I couldn't pass up. I loved it. It was fun to shoot, fun to watch, all of it."

After being skinned alive by Cassandra Nova, the Torch shows up in a post-credits scene when Deadpool confirms, courtesy of the TVA's archival footage, that he really did drop all those insults about the villain in an expletive-laden rant. As you might expect, Evans had a lot of fun with that. 

"Ryan was like, 'Listen, if we need cue cards...' and I was like, 'Cue cards? I'm showing up off-book,'" he revealed. "I don't get to say dialogue like this. Trust me. I'm going to enjoy every second of this. Memorized.'"

We'd imagine that's it for Fantastic Four Variants until The Fantastic Four: First Steps is released in theaters next year, though Evans will almost certainly return as Captain America in one or both of the next Avengers movies. We may even see him as the older Steve Rogers in February's Captain America: Brave New World.

Shawn Levy directs Deadpool & Wolverine, which stars Ryan Reynolds, Hugh Jackman, Emma Corrin, Morena Baccarin, Rob Delaney, Leslie Uggams, Karan Soni, Matthew Macfadyen, and Dafne Keen. The movie is written by Ryan Reynolds & Rhett Reese & Paul Wernick & Zeb Wells & Shawn Levy.

Kevin Feige, Reynolds, Levy and Lauren Shuler Donner produce with Louis D’Esposito, Wendy Jacobson, Mary McLaglen, Josh McLaglen, Rhett Reese, Paul Wernick, George Dewey, Simon Kinberg and Jonathon Komack Martin serving as executive producers.

Deadpool & Wolverine is now playing in theaters.

I hope Marvel ups their ante on these cameos and make it feel natural, you know, by having the actors together on the scenes. They release this picture but the final cut is all faked.

Just rewatched Homecoming and the Stark cameos there were legit for example.

@vectorsigma - why do you say this in every article
vectorsigma
vectorsigma - 8/4/2024, 9:16 AM
@Vigor - because this site also posts a lot of the same articles about d&w

I say this also because a lot dont believe it and defend it with this released picture.

@Vigor - no problem man. It matters to me to be served a good product.

Maybe one of these days, ill learn to cheer giddily in a cinema with half baked executions.

@vectorsigma - mmhmm like anything made by Gunn specifically for DC right?

I think you're just blindly biased
vectorsigma
vectorsigma - 8/4/2024, 1:03 PM
@Vigor - oh no, ill call it out when it happens to a Gunn film. I even ought to review some like SS which was shot during the pandemic.

I support both mind you.

@vectorsigma - So, you think they staged this behind the scenes shot, with everyone present, just to then Not film their scenes together?

My man, using stand ins has been Hollywood practice since he beginning. Schedules are hard to line up. But if they can, they will place the genuine actors in the same scene.

No Way Home had several cast members who never saw each other. Sandman is really just a voice over, & the only time we see a face it’s recycled footage from SP3. And we know some actors didn’t share scenes together in D&W. That doesn’t make it worse by any means.

But I don’t get the gripe about the photo. The photo shows they filmed at least some parts of it together.

@MG0019 - that's the problen, they have this picture, but none was translated to the film. All of the interactions in his scenes were faked.

I understand differencea in schedules, but this is more of a problem on continously changing and adhoc script than anything.

@vectorsigma - The only cameo I want to see in the next Marvel film, is Deadpool dressed up like Stan Lee!!

It was pretty obvious the moment he showed his face he was gonna be Johnny and not Steve, but I gotta say, up until he took that hood off, didn't know that was Evans. It was also fun trying to figure out if it was actually Blake's voice - of course it ended up being her voice!

@WakandanQueen - I was duped! I momentarily forgot he was another marvel character

@WakandanQueen - I just never thought they would actually even acknowledge his turn as Johnny Storm. That they did is just fantastic (I really meant no pun there until I typed it).

@theprophet - lol

That entire monologue was colorful and fun as hell!!.

You can tell Evans was enjoying that

I do wish Evans’s Johnny got to be a part of the Resistance team we got at the end but I enjoyed what we got of him here (that post credits scene got a laugh especially).

It’s a surreal image to see all three of them together in costume!!.

The most we've gotten to see Chris Evans be closest to his actual personality; prior to that it was his Thor: The Dark World cameo. Steve Rogers is the biggest stretch from his otherwise irreverntly humorous self.

@IAmAHoot - yep though in interviews and stuff , you can still see a bit of Steve there too

@IAmAHoot - I'm sure he let himself loose in Knives Out too. That 'eat shit' scene was all Chris, no acting !

That reveal was hilarious and managed to be close as funny to DP2's post credit scenes.

I hope that when Evans reprises once more the Cap role for Secret Wars that Deadpool slides in a reference to this to break some tension if they're planning a strategy to take Doom down and one of Steve's ideas is to "talk to him". Would be the perfect set up for a reference joke. XD
