Deadpool & Wolverine End-Credits Explained: What Happens in the Post-Credits Scene?

Many people are eager to know what happens during the end credits and post-credits scene of Deadpool & Wolverine. Curiosity has peaked leading up to the big launch, leaving fans excited about potential future developments. The post-credits scene, a staple of Marvel movies, has always provided hints and teases for what’s next in the Marvel Cinematic Universe.

For those wondering about the Deadpool & Wolverine end-credits scene and its implications, here is everything you need to know.

What happens in the final Deadpool & Wolverine post-credits scene?

Prior to the post-credits scene, a montage featuring behind-the-scenes clips from previous Fox Marvel movies plays. Then, after the credits, a scene plays out linking back to an earlier gag in the movie.

During the credits of Deadpool & Wolverine, a heartfelt montage set to the “Good Riddance” song by Green Day plays. It showcases behind-the-scenes clips from various X-Men movies, ranging from The Last Stand to Dark Phoenix.

It includes Ryan Reynolds discussing his desire to play Deadpool, Jennifer Garner suiting up as Elektra, and several other lighthearted moments with the cast. This highlights iconic Fox characters and actors, celebrating the X-Men franchise’s legacy while acknowledging its transition into the MCU.

Johnny Storm’s post-credits scene

The post-credits scene in Deadpool & Wolverine takes an unexpected turn. Instead of hinting at future Marvel movies, it humorously resolves an earlier plot point. Throughout the movie, Deadpool claims that Johnny Storm (Chris Evans) made terrible comments about Cassandra Nova, leading to Johnny’s death.

These crude remarks seemed out of character for Chris Evans, who previously played Captain America and is famous for his “language!” line. This made viewers suspect Deadpool fabricated the comments to save himself.

In the post-credits scene, Deadpool returns to the TVA to clear his name. He presents a tape showing a conversation between Johnny Storm, Deadpool, and Wolverine, all tied up in a prisoner transport pod on their way to Cassandra Nova. The recording reveals Johnny Storm actually saying every horrible thing Deadpool claimed, delivering each insult with unsettling naturalness.

This revelation provides a laugh-out-loud moment, confirming that Deadpool wasn’t lying and adding a comedic twist to end the film on a high note.
