Logan has a Deadpool cameo, but there’s a catch. It’s not a post-, mid-, or after-credits scene. Deadpool also isn’t actually in Logan. He will appear before the movie even starts, right after the previews end, along with Stan Lee. If rumors prove true, the scene actually serves as a teaser for Deadpool 2.
While Collider claimed confirmation of a post-credits scene, other reports, including director James Mangold himself, say there won’t be. It’s still not really clear what to expect when the credits start rolling, but many who have seen the movie believe a post-credits scene would feel out of place anyway, ruining the tone of Hugh Jackman’s final send-off. But one thing is for sure, you’re going to want to get settled in your chair early so you don’t miss Merc and Stan Lee’s legendary cameo. Here’s the description courtesy of a source who spoke with SlashFilm.
Now would be a good time to click away if you don’t want to know the exact details.
“It begins with two men getting into a scuffle after an attempted mugging in an alley. Wade Wilson (Ryan Reynolds) walks by the scene, not suited up as Deadpool, just wearing a hoodie that hides all his scars, listening to the song “Call Me Angel” from the opening credits of the first movie. When he notices the mugging, he’s not having it, and says, “Not in my city!”
Wade runs over to a phone booth to the familiar tones of the Superman theme composed by John Williams. However, the quick change that you’re expecting doesn’t go so smoothly. In fact, we hold on his struggle to change into his Deadpool suit for over a minute until the two men fighting in the alley ends with a gunshot.
Deadpool runs out in heroic slow-motion but finds that there’s only a dead man on the ground that he can’t save anymore. This is where details are a little foggy because one source mentioned that Wade starts running off at the mouth like you’d expect, all while going through the dead man’s groceries before walking out of the alley. Meanwhile, our other source added the detail that Stan Lee provides a cameo as someone who sees Wade walking out of the alley with his face exposed and says, “Hey, aren’t you Ryan Gosling?”
This looks like it will be the closest to a Wolverine-Deadpool team up we’ll get. Logan arrives in theaters March 3.
