Artist Andy Park took to Instagram to share early concept art for Deadpool and Wolverine – which features one of the coolest crossovers that never was.
In the concept art, Rob Liefeld’s Deadpool is pictured alongside Walt Simonson’s 1980s Thor, Jack Kirby’s classic 1960s Captain America, Bob Layton’s ’80s Iron Man, Jim Lee’s ’90s Black Widow, Sal Buscema’s ’70s Hulk, and John Byrne’s ’80s Hawkeye.

The movie featurescameosfrom several different iterations of Marvel heroes, each from a universe that is vastly different from the Marvel Cinematic Universe’s Earth-616. An Avengers cameo would’ve been cool (I mean we all thought that was actually Cap for a second, didn’t we?), but we’re pretty stoked on the direction the film took instead – which involves paying homage to earlier, pre-Disneyand pre-MCU versions of classic Marvel characters.
