Image via Marvel Comics<\/figcaption><\/figure> While Wolverine has become a staple of the X-Men, his first appearance saw him go claws-to-fists with the Incredible Hulk. Deadpool encounters a Wolverine wearing the costume he wore in The Incredible Hulk<\/em> #180. The Hulk-revealing shot that follows references the issue\u2019s iconic cover, drawn by Todd Macfarlane.<\/p> Crucified Wolverine is not okay, Deadpool<\/h2> Image via Marvel Comics<\/figcaption><\/figure> One of the most horrifying scenes in Deadpool and Wolverine<\/em> sees Deadpool behold a crucified Wolverine. This scene references a famous one in comics where cybernetic mutant-hunters known as the Reavers crucify Wolverine, who suffers a traumatizing hallucination.<\/p> The Cavillrine<\/h2> Image via Netflix<\/figcaption><\/figure> When Disney got the X-Men\u2019s film rights back, Marvel fans wondered who would play Wolverine in the MCU. Henry Cavill was always one of the most popular choices for the role, but he became the <\/em>most popular after his time as the DC Extended Universe\u2019s Superman and The Witcher<\/em>\u2019s Geralt ended.<\/p> Deadpool and Wolverine <\/em>gave MCU fans a taste of what a Wolverine played by Cavill would be like. This Wolverine, dubbed \u201cThe Cavillrine,\u201d doesn\u2019t stick around long, but I have a hard time believing this will be the last time we see him in the MCU.<\/p> Rest in peace, Twentieth Century Fox<\/h2> Image via 20th Century Fox<\/figcaption><\/figure> Despite their best efforts, Twentieth Century Fox\u2019s Marvel films never found their footing. Their failure to win over audiences contributed to Fox\u2019s eventual downfall. So when Deadpool and Wolverine fall into \u201cThe Void,\u201d it\u2019s almost poetic that one of the first things they encounter is a ruined, statuesque version of the iconic Fox logo.<\/p>
The Void’s Artifacts<\/h2> Image via Marvel Studios<\/figcaption><\/figure> Artifacts from other Marvel films litter the barren fields of the Void. Here\u2019s a list of all I caught: a S.H.I.E.L.D Hellicarrier, Peter Quill\u2019s Milano starship, the foot of a mutant-hunting Sentinel robot, Odin\u2019s Palace, and the Black Order\u2019s Q Ship.<\/p>
Chris Evans’ Human Torch fools us all<\/h2> Image via 20th Century Fox<\/figcaption><\/figure> Chris Evans told the world that he had no plans to return to the MCU as Captain America in 2022. So when he showed up in the Void, I was as excited and confused as everyone else in the theater. Then, just when it looks like he\u2019s about to say \u201cAvengers Assemble,\u201d he shouts \u201cFlame on,\u201d revealing that this isn\u2019t Captain America at all; it\u2019s the Human Torch, who Evans played in 2004\u2019s Fantastic Four<\/em>.<\/p> Cassandra Nova’s army of evil mutants<\/h2> Image via Marvel Studios<\/figcaption><\/figure> Characters from Fox’s X-Men<\/em> films comprise most of Cassandra Nova\u2019s army. The list includes Tyler Mane\u2019s Sabretooth, Ray Park\u2019s Toad, Aaron Stanford Pyro, Dania Ramirez\u2019s Callisto, Jason Flemyng\u2019s Azrael, Vinnie Jones, Juggernaut, Kelly Hu\u2019s Lady Deathstrike, Olivia Munn\u2019s Psylocke, and Kevin Nash\u2019s \u201cThe Russian.\u201d<\/p> The Resistance is full of big-name heroes<\/h2> Image via Marvel Studios<\/figcaption><\/figure> Not every Marvel character trapped in The Void bows to Cassandra Nova. A ragtag resistance fights against the psychic tyrant, formed by big-name actors and actresses who appear in Fox\u2019s superhero films. This team comprises Jennifer Garner\u2019s Elektra, Wesley Snipes\u2019 Blade, Channing Tatum\u2019s Gambit, and Dafne Keen\u2019s X-23.<\/p>
The Deadpool Corps<\/h2> Image via Marvel Studios<\/figcaption><\/figure> As Cassandra Nova prepares to destroy the multiverse in Deadpool and Wolverine<\/em>‘s last act, she puts a deadly obstacle between herself and the titular duo: the Deadpool Corps. Made up of Deadpool Variants from across the multiverse, this legion of Mercs with Mouths is a veritable incubator of Easter Eggs.<\/p> Almost every noteworthy Deadpool variant in the Deadpool Corps is a hidden celebrity cameo. Lady Deadpool is Ryan Reynold\u2019s wife Blake Lively, and their children, Inez and Olin, play Kidpool and Babypool. Nathan Fillion is the zombified Headpool, Mathew McConaughey voices Cowboypool, and Tom Holland\u2019s brother plays Haroldpool<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
