Every Cameo in Deadpool & Wolverine

As a huge fan of the X-Men universe and Channing Tatum’s acting skills, I’ve been following his long-standing quest to bring Gambit to the big screen for over a decade. His passion for the character is evident in every interview he gives, and it’s heartbreaking to see how many obstacles he’s faced along the way.

Caution: The following post reveals plot points from Deadpool 3 and Deadpool & Wolverine.
Instead of Hugh Jackman’s iconic Wolverine being the sole mutant gracing the screens in Deadpool 3, this installment is jam-packed with special appearances by X-Men, Fantastic Four, and Marvel Cinematic Universe superheroes.

In simpler terms, before Disney’s acquisition of 20th Century Fox five years ago, they owned the rights to produce movies based on the Avengers through Marvel Studios. At the same time, Fox possessed the rights for X-Men and Fantastic Four films. After the merger in 2019, Disney gained control over these characters as well and is now integrating them into the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU). Therefore, it’s not surprising that previously unconnected characters from different franchises start appearing together.

In simpler terms, the film “Deadpool & Wolverine” serves as a heartfelt tribute to the Fox Marvel films that have either ended or are being revamped following the merger. The story begins with Deadpool and Wolverine being exiled to an area called The Void, a sort of limbo for comic book characters nearing their end. Here, they encounter various characters whose movies were canceled or never produced. This film provides these characters with resolution. It concludes with a compilation of making-of clips from “X-Men” and “Fantastic Four” productions accompanied by the tune “Good Riddance” by Green Day, a popular graduation song.

Here are all the cameos you may have missed in Deadpool & Wolverine.

The Hulk

In the opening scene of the film, Deadpool travels between universes in search of a Wolverine capable of aiding him in saving the multiverse. He comes across various Logan versions from distinct timelines, including one engaged in combat with the Hulk. Based on the brief glimpse of the large green character, it’s plausible to assume it is Edward Norton, who portrayed the Hulk in Marvel’s 2008 movie prior to Mark Ruffalo taking over the role.

Henry Cavill as Wolverine

As a die-hard Deadpool fan, I can’t contain my excitement when he encounters Henry Cavill’s take on Wolverine! Although Cavill is best known for his role as Superman in the DC Comics films at Warner Bros., fans have voiced their disappointment over the digital erasure of Cavill’s mustache during reshoots for “Justice League.” With a smirk, Deadpool quips, “Disney will certainly handle your facial hair with more care than that other studio did!”

Chris Evans as The Human Torch

If you missed out on the pop culture scene during the 2010s, here’s a refresher: Chris Evans gained immense popularity by portraying Captain America in the Avengers films. Some fans believe that the Marvel Cinematic Universe has been experiencing a downturn since Evans departed following “Avengers: Endgame”.

Audiences, much like Deadpool himself, were thrilled when Chris Evans reappeared in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Initially, Deadpool and Wolverine only heard Evans’ voice before catching a glimpse of his defined jawline. However, in a comically unexpected turn, instead of saying “Avengers, assemble!”, Evans declared, “Flame on!” As he ignited, soaring into the sky followed. Sadly for him, the villains swiftly doused his flames, resulting in a painful fall back to earth.

Prior to donning the Captain America shield, Chris Evans portrayed Johnny Storm, also known as the Human Torch, within the Fantastic Four narrative. Notably, his ability in this context involved igniting himself on cue.

As he lies smoldering, Wolverine backs away, saying, “We don’t know that guy.”

“We thought we did,” Deadpool adds, a bit depressed.

Toad, Lady Deathstrike, Pryo, Colossus

In the film, Cassandra Nova, the antagonist, has gathered an impressive team of henchmen for her cause. This squad includes Ray Park’s Toad from the initial X-Men movie, Kelly Hu’s Lady Deathstrike from X-2: X-Men United, Aaron Stanford’s Pyro from X-Men: The Last Stand, and Stefan Kapicic’s Colossus from Deadpool.

Ant-Man’s corpse

Can we consider this a cameo appearance for Ant-Man, given that Nova uses the decayed body of an enormous Ant-Man as her base in The Void? The identity and cause of death of this particular Ant-Man are uncertain. However, when Nova uncovers Ant-Man’s skull, Deadpool quips, “I guess Paul Rudd finally grew old.”

Tyler Mane’s Sabretooth

In the Hugh Jackman-starring Wolverine films, we’ve encountered two portrayals of Sabretooth. The first appearance was in “X-Men,” where Tyler Mane brought the character to life. This Sabretooth faced off against Wolverine atop the Statue of Liberty. However, the outcome wasn’t in favor of the clawed antagonist; he was forced off the iconic landmark by Cyclops’ laser vision after a fierce battle.

In the prequel movie “X-Men Origins: Wolverine,” which was released later, Liev Schreiber assumed the role previously played by someone else. This film introduced the idea that Sabretooth and Wolverine are biological brothers. However, this narrative twist met with considerable criticism from audiences and critics alike. So much so, that many fans choose to disregard it. Even Deadpool, in “Deadpool 2,” makes a trip back in time to eliminate the on-screen portrayal of his character from that film.

In the comic “Deadpool & Wolverine,” when Sabretooth, played by Mane, appears and Deadpool excitedly mentions how “folks have been anticipating this battle for ages,” he’s likely alluding to their past confrontation depicted in the initial “X-Men” film.

Jennifer Garner as Elektra

As a cinephile, I’d put it this way: In the desolate limbo, Deadpool and Wolverine roamed, searching for their superhero comrades exiled to this forsaken terrain. One of the earliest encounters they made was with Elektra, portrayed by the talented Jennifer Garner in “Daredevil” and her standalone movie, “Elektra.”

When discussing the superheroes Cassandra has supposedly killed, her friends bring up Daredevil’s name. For those well-versed in Marvel comics, it’s worth noting that Ben Affleck, Garner’s former spouse, once portrayed this character.

“I’m so sorry,” Deadpool says to Elektra of Daredevil’s death.

“It’s fine,” Elektra says in a wink to the audience about the actors’ off-screen separation.

Wesley Snipes as Blade

Prior to the arrival of Iron Man, Spider-Man, and the X-Men in blockbuster films, Blade paved the way. The character portrayed by Wesley Snipes in the 1998 movie is considered a pioneer of modern comic book adaptations on the big screen.

As a movie buff who’s excited about the return of Wesley Snipes to the silver screen after a long absence, I can’t help but notice how his character in this film delivers a memorable line. At a pivotal moment, Blade himself states, “There has only ever been one Blade. There will only ever be one Blade.”

As a longtime fan of the Blade franchise, I can’t help but feel a pang of disappointment every time I hear about the latest setbacks for the upcoming reboot. I remember the excitement that swept through the film community when it was first announced that Mahershala Ali would be taking on the iconic role of Blade in 2019. But as the months turned into years and the project continued to stall, my enthusiasm began to wane.

Fear not, “Blade” enthusiasts! Kevin Feige’s remark about Wesley Snipes’ involvement in the film seems more like a sarcastic jab than a ominous prediction. In fact, Marvel Studios head shared that the Ali project is still ongoing and hinted it will carry an R-rating.

Channing Tatum as Gambit

Channing Tatum eagerly pursued the creation of a Gambit film for ten years. Enamored with the X-Men character, he and his co-writer penned a screenplay, labeling it an R-rated romantic comedy. However, production on the film faced numerous setbacks: Directors such as Gore Verbinski (of “Pirates of the Caribbean” fame) and Doug Liman (“Mr. and Mrs. Smith”) attempted to helm the project but ultimately departed. The Disney-Fox merger appeared to dash Tatum’s hopes for a Gambit movie. Yet, his persistence paid off—the long-awaited film is now in development.

In the portrayal found in “Deadpool & Wolverine,” it must be confessed that it’s quite preposterous. His actions are hard to grasp. Deadpool mercilessly mocks Tatum for his inadequate accent and worries that viewers might miss crucial details. And his talent for making playing cards detonate seems ludicrous, until he begins exploding adversaries instead.

Dafne Keene as X-23

Deadpool establishes the film’s mood right from the start with a witty commentary in a voiceover. He acknowledges that viewers might be pondering how to bring back Hugh Jackman’s Wolverine while honoring his heroic demise in “Logan” (2017). Deadpool then humorously assures us, “We don’t plan to,” and proceeds to dig up Wolverine’s adamantium corpse to use its bones for a gruesome killing spree against numerous adversaries.

In the film “Logan,” X-23, portrayed by Dafne Keene, is the only character whom the movie values highly. This young girl, who has undergone experiments and received Wolverine’s genetic material, can be seen as his clone or daughter based on different viewpoints. Ultimately, Wolverine lays down his life to protect her.

In the comic series “Deadpool & Wolverine,” she plays a significant role in encouraging and reassuring Wolverine that he can still make a difference to the world, despite his past mistakes.

Blake Lively as Lady Deadpool

Ryan Reynolds and Blake Lively are among Hollywood’s longest-lasting power couples. They’ve been seen together at Taylor Swift’s concerts backstage and traveling to each other’s film sets to keep their family united while they work on separate projects. So, it was only a matter of time before Lively made an appearance in one of Reynolds’ action movies. In the end, she joined him as Lady Deadpool, the female variation of the wise-cracking anti-hero Deadpool.

Despite Lively’s face being hidden behind a mask throughout the film, there are subtle hints suggesting her presence. In the beginning, Deadpool mentions that there are 206 bones in the human body. He then jokingly adds, “207 if I’m watching Gossip Girl,” alluding to his wife’s popular TV show. Later, during a fight, when Deadpool is touched inappropriately, he shouts, “I’ll tell Blake!”

Another version: A fond portrayal of Lady Deadpool is presented by yet another endearing Deadpool character. He remarks, “Despite having given birth last year, her baby bump is nowhere to be seen,” referring to Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds’ fourth child. Notably, when Lady Deadpool emerges, she boasts a long, towering blonde ponytail similar to the one sported by Lively at the film’s premiere.
