Deadpool and Wolverineis filled with plenty of surprises and shocks that will have you dropping your popcorn in cinemas. But it’s one of the more low-key appearances – by a familiar face, no less – that may have just spoiled the new Avengers movie in advance with a suitably meta joke.
Spoilers for the movie – including one of theDeadpool and Wolverine cameos– follow. You have been warned!
Early on in the movie, Wade Wilson (Ryan Reynolds) is brought into the TVA by Matthew Macfadyen’s Paradox.
“You’re not supposed to have seen this yet,” Paradox deadpans. He may as well have been winking to the audience.
In lieu of aDeadpool and Wolverine post-credits scenethat sets up a future instalment, the breadcrumbs towards Deadpool’s next appearance might be right in front of us in the five seconds we see here.
The Merc with a Mouth has been no stranger to breaking the fourth wall, but literally playing a spoiler years in advance would top the lot – and we’re pretty convinced that’s what they’re doing here. The amount of times Deadpool brings it up later only adds fuel to the fire with this wild theory.
