This article is nothing but non-stopDeadpool & Wolverine spoilers!
Deadpool & Wolverinehas room for MCU mainstays too.
This mysterious wise man immediately promises to be an Oasis in the desert.
The figure then removes the hood to reveal the face ofChris Evans, the man who broughtCaptain Americato life.
Evans tilts his head back and shouts, Flame On!
Yep, Evans is reprising a classic role, but its not as Steve Rogers.
This is Johnny Storm, one-quarter of theFantastic Four.
Fantastic, Invisible Woman, andDoctor Doom, respectively.
Along with Michael Chiklis as the Thing, Evans was one of the few bright spots of those movies.
But its the fighters who find them.
Well, one of them, anyway.
She also is still acting more like a hero than the comics assassin/antihero.
Never one to miss a setup, Reynolds Deadpool cries something along the lines of we will avenge Daredevil!
Its fine, Elektra shrugs without missing a beat.
The other two members of the resistance, however, were huge shockers… (NOTE: Snipesdenies these claims).
Rather hes played byChanning Tatumin full, comics accurate gear, complete with head sock.
Studio heads wanted Tatum from the start, who was an up-and-coming leading man back in the late 2000s.
Joe: The Rise of Cobraprevented him from participating inX-Men Origins.
And despite Tatums enthusiastic participation, pre-production was as far as it went.
Thus, Tatum plays Gambit inDeadpool & Wolverineas not a has-been, but rather as a never-was.
What wasnt known is that shed actually get a relatively significant supporting role.
The point is the movie finds a way to give Keen and Jackman a handful of scenes together again.
It is to Laura who Logan confides to that Im no hero and his larger sob story.
However, the new Wolverine seems to step into that role pretty quickly.
At last, he is.
Wolverine Madness… with Henry Cavill?!
Most of these various Wolverines reference specific storylines and issues from the comic books.
The black-clad, one-handed Wolverine is from the alternate realityAge of Apocalypsestoryline from the 1990s.
Theres even a more cowboy-esque version of Old Man Logan, to match the comics that inspired the story.
In doing so,Deadpool & Wolverinegets in a quick appearance of the Hulk.
Save for one, who turns around to reveal himself to beHenry Cavill, the erstwhileDC Extended Universemainstay.
The Familiar Voice (and Wife?)
And boy howdy, does he ever!
Wade and Logan cross blades against an entire Deadpool Corps, a host of variants from across the Multiverse.
Weve seen an unmasked Ryan Reynolds playing a peaceful and very Canadian Nice Deadpool.
Weve also glimpsed the ugly little mutt Dogpool, aka Mary Puppies.
Weve seen the Gunslinger, the Deadpool Kid, and weve seen the shapely Lady Deadpool.
That last one has resulted in a lot of online speculation.
Who is playing Lady Deadpool: is it Ryan Reynolds in a mask?
Is it Taylor Swift, long speculated to play the X-Man Dazzler?
The B-List X-Baddies
Speaking of secret cast list problems, there are the many minor cameos.
Those are roles neither have played since they very firstX-Menmovie in 2000.
Another aspect the trailers teased seemed to be a lot of returning bad guys in Novas army.
Which, as this list might be showing, could be the point of the actual film.
Consider that Wade seems oblivious about the sacred timeline and multiverse-hopping until hes kidnapped by the TVA years later.
Either way, the scene is a funny gag and the lone major connection to the MCU Proper.
Deadpool & Wolverine is in theaters now.
