Deadpool 2 after credits scene: How many post credit scenes in Deadpool 2?

Ryan Reynold’s foul-mouthed, sardonic antihero Wade Wilson made a return to cinemas on May 16, after a hugely popular first movie in 2016.

Deadpool is an American superhero film based on the Marvel Comics character of the same name, distributed by 20th Century Fox.

The film was the eighth installment of the X-Men film series, and the first standalone Deadpool film.

As post-credits scenes fast become an increasing norm in movie storytelling, fans were eager to find out if Deadpool 2 would follow suit and have an after-credits scene of some kind.

Did Deadpool 2 have post-credit scenes? How many?

Deadpool 2 has not disappointed, raising the bar with not one but five wall-breaking, post-credit scenes.

At the end of the Deadpool 2 film, Wilson is saved by cyber soldier and fellow antihero Cable (Josh Brolin) using a time-travelling device.

In an earlier scene we see Cable using a skee-ball token inside his costume to save Wilson, using one of the two trips allowed by the object.

So by the end of the film, he has used his last chance at time travel.

But in the first post-credits scene, X-Men Negasonic Teenager Warhead (Brianna Hildebrand) and Yukio (Morena Baccarin) get the device working again.

This means the device then allows the user unlimited time travel trips – but they warn Cable will kill him if he’s caught using it.

This alteration then enables Deadpool, in a second post-credits scene, to travel back and save his fiancee Vanessa (Morena Baccarin), who was killed by an assassin earlier in the movie.

Following this, Deadpool moves into a third post-credits scene in which he retracts the moment X-force member Peter (Rob Delaney) is killed, shooting Weapon XY dead in a hail of bullets.

Wilson also manages to persuade Peter to leave this superhero life.

And then in a particularly meta fourth post-credits scene, the real Deadpool rocks up to a replay scene from X-Men Origins in which Wolverine faces up to that film’s version of Deadpool.

Reynolds shoots his other self in the head to “clean up the timelines” as a nod to the increasingly confusing world of X-Men films.

The fifth and final post-credits scene is another tongue-in-cheek prod at the Marvel universe.

Ryan Reynolds is pictured getting ready to approve a screenplay for his much-maligned Green Lantern film.

But before he sign off on the deal, Deadpool arrives and kills him in order to save him from making the film flop.
