A lot of things happened in Deadpool and Wolverine Totally surprising, but there are two scenes in the end credits that are not. If a Marvel movie had a post-credits Easter egg, it would be this Deadpool and Wolverine. But what these scenes actually are – one a heartfelt, nostalgic but funny homage, the other a super-grubby callback – is as unpredictable as everything else.
“Deadpool only does things Deadpool’s way,” Shane Reid, editor of “Deadpool” Deadpool and Wolverinetold io9. “What you expect to see isn’t quite what you’re going to get,” Reed said, and the expletive-laden Johnny Storm rant over the end credits was always a tag; A scene of cosmic teasing. “[Johnny Storm] It’s always the end-credits scene,” he said. “I thought it was a great callback to a joke early in the movie. There was nothing. [else]”.
Perhaps the bigger surprise was the montage of Fox footage X-Men This was also a day that had been planned very early. “It was Ryan’s idea,” Reed said. “He always had this vision. I think some of his partners [production company] What’s consistent about “Best Effort” is that they really want to convey something to their fans that makes them feel sweet and grateful for the history they all come from and why we’re all here. That’s what he thinks.
Reed helped put the sequence together, explaining that not only did the footage come from a lot of places, but everyone you saw had to approve of their appearance. “[Ryan’s] The Maximum Effort team sent us a lot of YouTube clips,” Reid explains. “I started burning some special features and trying to find B-rolls where I could. And then I found these little moments from Ryan’s interviews in Deadpool [X-Men] origin: [Wolverine] Hexiu [Jackman] The interview wasn’t like it should just be for them, but it was like, ‘Okay, we’ve seen these two characters and you’ve been on quite a journey. Why don’t we merge it into this one?
The reason Blade isn’t there is blade The movie is owned by New Line Cinema, which is not owned by Disney, but Reed “would love to have Blade in the mix.” But he does enjoy putting all these other people into the movie. “We had to clear out everything from the cast, any cameos and anyone who showed up, like James Mangold or anyone who just showed up in it,” Reed said. “And those guys [Reynolds and Levy] Calling these celebrities and describing what they were doing and the intentions behind it created a hard sell that got everyone’s approval. And, it was the combined effort of many people to write a simple love letter.
Reid did admit that he likes people to think this could be a tease for the future X-Men When the movie first started. “I love when I’m in the audience and the ‘X’ goes off, you feel like people are like, ‘Oh, what’s going on here?'” he said. “And then you see people just sitting in their seats like poised, like just looking at it, keeping their eyes open. Like, like a hit of dopamine… I think that’s what’s going on in Ryan’s brain. Like, how do you take Something that’s expected and subverts it and does something that makes the character feel alone?
