Marvel Studios
The following story contains spoilers for Deadpool & Wolverine.
IF ANY MARVEL Cinematic Universe film was ever going to know and understand the Marvel Cinematic Universe film formula, it was going to be Deadpool & Wolverine. Ryan Reynolds’s third foray into his fourth-wall breaking franchise marks Deadpool’s official entry into the MCU’s larger universe—and of course that meant his movie was going to be self-aware about everything going on in and around these movies, and of course that meant it was going to have a credits scene.
Throughout the course of Deadpool & Wolverine, much is said about the state of the MCU as these new characters enter; at one point, Deadpool even tells Wolverine “Welcome to the MCU—you’re entering at something of a lowpoint.” He later mocks the MCU’s attempt to launch “The Multiverse Saga” off the ground, saying that it’s just been “miss after miss.” Again: self-aware.
By the end of the movie, of course, a lot happens: character arcs begin and end, heroes rise, villains are defeated, and there are cameos—lots and lots of cameos. (Though, technically, a lot of them aren’t even “cameos,” technically, because the surprise appearances last more than just a single scene or moment).
But you didn’t think the most self-aware MCU project ever wouldn’t have a credits scene, of all things, did you?
Does Deadpool & Wolverine have a credits scene?
It does! Deadpool & Wolverine has one mid-credits montage (so, kind of a mid-credits scene), and then another proper credits scene at the very end.
Credits Scene 1 (kinda): Hope You Had The Time Of Your Life
The first “credits scene”—it runs simultaneous to the film’s closing credits—is a montage of behind-the-scenes footage of past Marvel films set to Green Day’s timeless ballad “Good Riddance (Time of Your Life).” The montage features old clips from the making of films that featured many of the characters featured in the film, including X-Men, Blade, Daredevil/Elektra, and more
Just as the movie itself was a tribute to many of these characters—particularly Elektra and Blade—this closing montage was a tribute and a farewell to characters and franchises who were often beloved and never got their rightful goodbye. Until now!
Credits Scene 2: Johnny B. Goode
20th Century Studios
Fitting with Deadpool’s trickster nature, the second credits scene turns out to be… mostly a joke.
Deadpool is sick of people saying he got Johnny Storm (a surprise Chris Evans appearance) killed by telling Cassandra Nova (a great villain, we should add) the hyperbolic things he said. This was perhaps made worse by the fact that Cassandra gave Johnny what is pretty easily the most gruesome death in the history of the franchise, zapping his skin off of his bones and leaving him to turn into a pile of blood, muscle, and guts goo.
But, as we see in TVA footage, it turns out Deadpool was not lying or exaggerating with anything Johnny said about Cassandra at all. And as it turns out, he said even more! And then at the end of his rant, said “…and you can quote me!”
So, in the end, there’s only one thing left to say: Deadpool innocent.
