If you say you’re excited about Deadpool & Wolverine but want to know about the spoilers before the film even hits theaters, I’m questioning how much of a fan you really are, honestly. After all, the best part of these movies is experiencing the surprises with an audience in a packed cinema.
Amid a lot of superhero fatigue, the Deadpool franchise really stands on its own. Led by our imaginary best friend, Ryan Reynolds, these films don’t take themselves too seriously, repeatedly break the fourth wall, and well, its foul-mouthed protagonist with a penchant for stylized violence really takes the cake.
This third iteration promises to be bigger than ever before—and don’t worry, just because Disney runs the show now doesn’t mean there won’t be Deadpool’s trademark oversexed dialogue, and bloody violence. If you really can’t help yourself, here are all the (unverified) Deadpool & Wolverine spoilers from Reddit. Keep in mind that this isn’t exhaustive, there are reportedly loads of easter eggs and other MCU references to keep an eye out for.
In an early flashback that takes us back to Deadpool 2, Wade is a car salesman working with Peter. During a surprise party with all the characters from Deadpool 1 and 2, it’s revealed that Wade and Vanessa are no longer together.
The Time Variance Authority (TVA), who you know from the Loki series, arrives to take Wade in. Paradox (Matthew Macfadyen) tasks Wade with finding Wolverine. Wade travels through various universes and meets many different variants of the X-Man.
One variant is played by Henry Cavill, another is Patch—the suited, undercover Wolverine from a five-issue miniseries by writer Larry Hama. We also meet a variant that’s fighting with the Hulk. Eventually, we land on the “worst Wolverine,” who is a drunken, washed-up variant of Logan.
When Deadpool and Wolverine are sent to the void, they have their first fight scene. Someone interrupts them and we’re led to believe it’s Captain America (Chris Evans), but he’s revealed to be Johnny Storm, aka Human Torch, which is a callback to the 2005 Fantastic Four film (don’t ask us why Marvel allowed Evans to play two different superheroes in the same universe, but here we are).
We’ve already talked about Chris Evans, so here are the other famous faces that make cameos (sorry, Taylor Swift is not among them).
Elektra — played by its OG, Jennifer Garner.
Blade — played by its OG, Wesley Snipes.
Gambit — played by Channing Tatum.
X-23 — played by Dafne Keen.
Cowboy Pool — Matthew McConaughey.
In a fight against an army of Deadpool variants, we meet Ladypool. Her mask isn’t unveiled, but we suspect the voice is Blake Lively, Ryan Reynolds’ wife, and she is credited. This fight is when Hugh Jackman puts on his Wolverine mask for the first time.
The schwarma scene in The Avengers post-credits is legendary and the nod to it that closes out Deadpool & Wolverine is a brilliant nod to that.
