Deadpool & Wolverine has ignited a wave of anticipation long before its debut, with fans eagerly discussing its rumored sensational post-credit scene, which many believe could involve Tobey Maguire.
The highly anticipated pairing of Ryan Reynolds as Deadpool and Hugh Jackman as Wolverine is set to captivate MCU enthusiasts with their joint superhero venture, Deadpool & Wolverine, hitting theaters in just three months. Renowned for their portrayals of the Merc with a Mouth and Logan, the duo is set to be joined by other actors to inject more excitement into their escapades. Speculations suggest that Jennifer Garner, known for her role as Elektra, might make an appearance, along with Fantastic Four stars Jessica Alba and Chris Evans reprising their roles as Invisible Woman and Human Torch. However, the recent buzz surrounding Deadpool & Wolverine centers on the post-credits scene, with many pointing to Maguire, who previously portrayed Spider-Man in three movies and made a cameo in Tom Holland's Spider-Man: No Way Home in 2021.
One insider, MyTimeToShineHellow, teased on X about the post-credits scene in Deadpool & Wolverine being 'mind-blowing.' Expressing disbelief at how the production managed to keep it under wraps, this hint was seemingly corroborated by Rob Liefeld, the creator of Deadpool, who cryptically endorsed the revelation. Reddit was soon abuzz with discussions and theories about the much-speculated post-credits scene in Deadpool & Wolverine, with many convinced of Maguire's involvement.
The Intriguing Fan Theory for Deadpool & Wolverine's Post-Credit Scene
According to a popular Reddit thread, fans have concocted a theory suggesting that Deadpool and Wolverine might find themselves at Joe's Pizza, a famous pizzeria located in Greenwich Village, Manhattan. This eatery was featured in the 2004 movie Spider-Man 2, where Peter Parker (Maguire) worked as a delivery boy. However, due to being late in delivering pizzas, he was fired by Mr. Aziz (Aasif Mandvi), as the store prided itself on a 29-minute delivery guarantee. Numerous fans are convinced that the post-credits scene could bring back this iconic pizzeria, especially given past hints from insiders, potentially signaling its return to the MCU, likely accompanied by Maguire.
Some fans have even entertained the notion of a cameo by Robert Downey Jr.'s Iron Man, expressing a desire to witness Tony Stark alongside Wolverine and Deadpool. With rumors circulating about RDJ's return to the MCU, some speculate that this scene could be a nod to his potential comeback.
While the idea of Maguire appearing in the post-credits of Deadpool 3 is enticing, especially amid rumors of a reunion between director Sam Raimi and Maguire for Spider-Man 4, fans are advised to approach this speculation with caution, as no official confirmation has been provided. Raimi has previously addressed the rumored project with Maguire, neither confirming nor denying its existence but leaving the door open for future possibilities.
The inclusion of Iron Man in the post-credits scene is not out of the question either, as Marvel is keen on ensuring the success of its upcoming films following the underperformance of Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania and The Marvels at the box office. Iron Man remains a pivotal figure in the MCU, with RDJ expressing willingness to reprise his role. However, Marvel Studios' president, Kevin Feige, has indicated satisfaction with Downey Jr.'s departure, leaving the return of Iron Man or Spider-Man in Deadpool 3 uncertain but undoubtedly a thrilling prospect for fans.
Deadpool & Wolverine is scheduled for release on July 26, 2024.
