Deadpool appeared in the origin movie as Weapon XI.

Deadpool version XI had the same powers as the Deadpool everyone knows and loves: quick-healing abilities.

Weapon XI also had Cyclops’s optic blasts and the ability to teleport, but even with those abilities, he didn’t last long.

X-Men Origins’ post-credit scene saw Wade Wilson’s decapitated head come back to life.

Another post-credit scene saw Negasonic Teenage Warhead fixing baddie-Cable’s (Josh Brolin) time travelling device.

Deadpool 2’s post-credit scene was actually a splicing of Deadpool into the original X-Men origins film.

The move required Hugh Jackman’s permission, which they clearly got.

Deadpool 2 used the post-credit scene not to do what audiences expect — set up a future plot.

Deadpool 2 instead used it to undo what Ryan Reynold’s himself called a wrong choice.

Proving itself to continually be the black sheep of the Marvel family, Deadpool 2 made several bold choices with its post credit scenes and they all paid off.

Deadpool 2 is showing in cinemas now.
