The (Many, Many) Cameos Are the Best Part of Deadpool & Wolverine


Deadpool’s first official MCU movie is packed with genuinely surprising appearances, all listed out here.

And since the movie is scant on coherent drama for its leads (and cuts away quickly the moment its action threatens to become cool), these surprise appearances may just be the best part of Deadpool & Wolverine, whether they’re in-jokes for the fans, or serve an actual purpose in the plot — or in some cases, both. As an everyday human with no superpowers, Happy may not be the MCU’s most glamorous character, but he’s been part of the franchise since the beginning (Favreau both appeared in and directed the original Iron Man), and his presence is a fitting way to welcome Deadpool into the Marvel fold. Like John Krasinski’s Reed Richards in the Doctor Strange sequel, Cavill’s appearance pays off years of fan art and online chatter about who should take over from Jackman when he eventually passes the torch, though given how much money Deadpool & Wolverine is about to make, that might not happen anytime soon.
