The latest MCU release Deadpool & Wolverine is set to become a global box-office behemoth. One of the fan-favorite aspects of the movie appears to be the considerable list of cameo appearances. Even though many fans likely went into theaters expecting a few of these cameos, at least some of them must have been caught off-guard seeing Chris Hemsworth’s Thor in the movie, shedding tears as Deadpool, with half of his face exposed, lies in his arms. Recently, Hemsworth came out and teased that he knew why Thor was crying.
Chris Hemsworth knows Thor and Deadpool’s secret
Hemsworth’s revelation came in response to a post on X (formerly Twitter) by Ryan Reynolds on this matter. On Thursday, August 1, Reynolds posted a still of his character from the scene in question, performing the shush gesture. “I know why Thor was crying. I can’t unknow it. #DeadpoolAndWolverine,” he wrote in the caption. Hemsworth subsequently reposted Reynold’s post with the words, “I can keep secrets too,” and even added a shushing face emoji at the end.
The scene is set after the Time Variance Authority takes Wade Wilson / Deadpool to Mr. Paradox, who invites him to be part of the Sacred Timeline or Earth-616. As Mr. Paradox discusses the prospect of Deadpool joining the Avengers, he shows footage from Deadpool’s life on multiple screens, claiming that the TVA has been keeping an eye on him for a while. The screen depicting Thor holding Wade in his arms catches Deadpool’s attention, prompting Mr. Paradox to claim that it is from the distant future.
Unlike other actors who made cameo appearances in Deadpool & Wolverine, Hemsworth didn’t need to come to the set. According to ComicBook.com, the scene is archival footage from Thor: The Dark World (2013). The filmmakers of Deadpool & Wolverine simply replaced Tom Hiddleston’s Loki with the Merc with a Mouth.
Interestingly enough, back in 2022, Hemsworth told BBC Radio 1 that he would have to be in Deadpool 3 so he could go on to break Hugh Jackman’s record of portraying a superhero for the longest period. At the time, Jackman wasn’t confirmed to star in Deadpool & Wolverine, nor was there any news about a cameo appearance by Wesley Snipes’ Blade. X-Men, in which Jackman appears as Wolverine for the first time, came out in 2000, while Blade premiered in 1998.
