Wade Wilson creator Rob Liefeld allegedly knows what Deadpool & Wolverine’s post-credits scene looks like, and it’s nothing short of “mindblowing”.
Deadpool creator Rob Liefeld seemingly confirms he knows what Deadpool & Wolverine‘s post-credits scene will be months before the MCU movie arrives in theaters. Anticipation for Shawn Levy’s Deadpool & Wolverine continues to rise following the release of the second trailer, which came with several plot reveals and easter eggs, including Deadpool & Wolverine‘s sneaky nod at Deadpool creator Rob Liefeld himself.
What Deadpool & Wolverine’s “Mind-Blowing” Post-Credits Scene Could Be
Deadpool & Wolverine May End With A Multiversal Cameo By An Unexpected Marvel Character
The fact that Deadpool & Wolverine‘s post-credits scene is described as “mindblowing” and surprising to “pull it off” suggests that it doesn’t involve a simple cameo by an X-Men or an MCU character. If MyTimeToShineHello and Rob Liefeld’s comments are accurate, then the scene could feature a character like Tobey Maguire or Andrew Garfield’s Spider-Men, Tom Hardy’s Venom, or a previous Hulk actor like Eric Bana and Edward Norton. Marvel Studios has limited control over the live-action versions of these characters, as the adaptation and distribution rights belong either to Sony or Universal.
Alternatively, the post-credits scene may not center around multiversal cameos. Instead, it could feature an unexpected twist that affects the MCU’s history. For instance, Deadpool & Wolverine‘s post-credits scene could be a short gag that reveals that the titular anti-heroes were briefly transported to Avengers: Endgame‘s Battle of Earth, where they participated in the fight against Thanos without the Avengers knowing. This would also serve as a reference to the comic book Deadpool’s Secret Secret Wars, where Wade Wilson participated in Marvel Comics’ Secret Wars storyline but was erased from everybody’s memories.
The most difficult feat Deadpool & Wolverine‘s post-credits scene could pull off would be including a character not owned by Marvel whatsoever. A post-credits scene cameo by a DC actor like Henry Cavill or Ben Affleck would bring together the MCU and one of the many live-action DC universes, but would be almost impossible to imagine due to the legal and logistical difficulties that such a crossover would involve. However, a cameo by a DC actor playing a character that’s technically not a DC character but resembles them quite closely could be possible.
