As a die-hard comic book fan and someone who grew up watching Hugh Jackman bring Wolverine to life on the big screen, I can’t help but feel a mix of nostalgia and excitement as I delve deeper into the world of Deadpool and his interactions with the iconic character.
Deadpool is known for his loquaciousness, using bold language and sass with great skill. However, in “Deadpool & Wolverine,” his words carry deeper significance. His self-deprecating humor, which often involves breaking the fourth wall, contains hidden meanings. For instance, he frequently references Wolverine’s X-Men suit and the actors behind their respective characters – Ryan Reynolds for Deadpool and Hugh Jackman for Wolverine.
Deadpool’s dialog in the movie is filled with multiple meanings and is a signature part of his character. Unlike other characters who generally keep things serious, Deadpool brings humor even to the most intense situations through his non-stop insults and quips. The film revolves around Deadpool’s mission to save his timeline after discovering that its foundation, Wolverine, has perished. In search of a replacement Wolverine for his reality, he embarks on an adventure that takes up most of the storyline in the Void – the discarded realm of the Time Variance Authority.
In Deadpool‘s world, whether it’s in the empty space called the Void, his own universe, or at the Television Advancement Authority (TVA), this mercenary character just can’t resist making witty comments throughout the movie. These seemingly casual lines hide deeper meanings, which we will clarify below.
The only thing worth a s*** to ever come out of Canada
In contrast to Deadpool’s usual quips, this line is spoken by an insignificant character – a TVA agent – who is taken aback by Deadpool’s desecration of Wolverine’s grave in the opening credits. This agent might have praised Wolverine in various ways, such as acknowledging his heroic deeds or admiring his impressive hair. However, his choice to label Wolverine as “The only decent thing Canada ever produced” serves as a sharp criticism of Deadpool and Ryan Reynolds’ portrayal of the character.
Deadpool may have been born in Regina, Saskatchewan, or so the movies imply, although he’s unsure due to his frequent deaths and resurrections leaving him with a hazy memory. Ryan Reynolds, who portrays Deadpool, is indeed from Vancouver, British Columbia. Wolverine, portrayed by Hugh Jackman despite being Australian in real life, also originated in Canada. Deadpool doesn’t take lightly the implication of his birthplace or that of his alter ego in the movies.
I can’t believe the way they treated you down the street
In the movie’s opening montage, Henry Cavill makes an appearance as a different version of Wolverine while Deadpool searches for his counterpart. This confirmation of Cavill joining the cast fueled rumors and, during this scene, Deadpool quips about it, poking fun at the DC Extended Universe – something Cavill might not do himself but may find amusing.
After Cavill finishes working on his motorcycle, Deadpool looks him up and exclaims in disbelief, “I can’t believe how differently they treated you just a mile away at Marvel and DC studios.”
DC made a unfortunate decision regarding Henry Cavill’s role as Superman. Cavill had portrayed the character in several films and was ready to reprise the part when suddenly, DC chose to let him go without prior notice and brought in a new actor instead. Although this statement doesn’t specifically mention Cavill’s history with DC, for those aware of the Marvel-DC competition, “down the street” takes on a whole new significance. Despite being treated unfairly, Cavill has maintained his composure while Deadpool feels no need to hold back.
He’s usually shirtless but he’s let himself go since the divorce
In the surreal realm of the Void, where Deadpool and Wolverine have unwittingly ended up, Deadpool, known for his loquaciousness, feels compelled to present Wolverine to new acquaintances and add amusing asides. However, it’s these very details that land Deadpool in hot water. For instance, he casually mentions that “Wolverine has let himself go since the divorce.” Unbeknownst to many, Wolverine, portrayed by Hugh Jackman in films, hasn’t actually been married – but those privy to Jackman’s personal life will recognize the reference to his own marital split.
Deadpool blends the characteristics of Hugh Jackman’s Wolverine and Jackman himself, treating them as interchangeable. This results in a jest from Deadpool that Jackman’s Wolverine has put on some extra weight due to his divorce from Deborra-Lee Furness. However, it is later revealed that this was just a sarcastic comment; Jackman’s physique remains as toned and defined as ever.
MJ if you’re nasty
In a lighthearted manner, Deadpool refers to himself as “Marvel’s Jesus” or “MJ” in more explicit situations. He frequently uses this moniker throughout the film, believing that, being the first “Deadpool” movie in the Marvel Cinematic Universe and following some disappointing box office performances for Marvel, he holds the power to revive Marvel’s success.
As someone who grew up in the 80s and 90s, I can’t help but appreciate the clever nods to pop culture in modern media. And when it comes to Deadpool’s references to the Jacksons, I’m completely on board!
He’ll sing the entire second act of Music Man with no warmup
At Cassandra Nova’s (Emma Corrin) headquarters in the Void, Deadpool and Wolverine are brought as prisoners. In need of a threat to intimidate their captors, Deadpool comes up with a witty remark, poking fun at musical theater, saying, “He’ll perform the entire second act of ‘Music Man’ without any rehearsal.” This jab is aimed at Logan, and although he doesn’t seem like a natural-born singer or dancer, the actor who portrays him, Hugh Jackman, most certainly is.
Hugh Jackman, who is well-known for his Broadway career, played the lead role of Harold Hill in “The Music Man” from late 2021 to early 2023. His exceptional performance earned him a Tony Award nomination. Remarkably, he had previously won a Tony Award in 2004 for “The Boy From Oz.” Consequently, although singing without warming up might be challenging, Hugh Jackman’s extraordinary Broadway skills would undoubtedly leave the audience astonished, disregarding Deadpool’s skepticism.
Friends don’t let friends leave the house looking like they fight crime for the L.A. Rams
In an alternate universe’s Honda Odyssey, Deadpool and Wolverine find themselves in a predicament. With concern in his voice, Deadpool remarks, “Friends don’t want their friends going out in public looking like they’re part of the L.A. Rams crime-fighting team, you know?” The blue and yellow attire on Wolverine strongly resembles the Los Angeles Rams football uniform. A minor modification to the uniform would make it identical to Wolverine’s superhero suit.
In those old NFL team years, their uniform was predominantly yellow with blue accents, which strongly reminded me of Wolverine’s suit. Fortunately, the current uniform design comes close enough to resemble that classic look, making it unsurprising how Wolverine evokes memories of the team. Truth be told, when Wolverine dons his superhero attire, he bears an uncanny resemblance to a football player. He even assumes a crouching stance similar to their snap position on the field. Deadpool, being a good friend, doesn’t want Wolverine mistaken for anything other than the mighty mutant hero that he is.
I’m telling Blake
In the emptiness of the Void, an intense fight between Deadpool and Wolverine unfolds inside a Honda. At a certain moment, Wolverine comes dangerously close to Deadpool’s personal space, taunting, “I’ll tell Blake about this!” This line is yet another wink to Ryan Reynolds’ real-life spouse, Blake Lively. The actor portraying Deadpool has been married to Lively since 2012 and shares four children with her, in stark contrast to the character of Deadpool, who, as depicted in this film, struggles to maintain a relationship with Vanessa (Morena Baccarin).
Reynolds frequently incorporates references to his wife and her projects into his creations. For instance, in “Deadpool & Wolverine,” he adds the line, “There are 206 bones in the human body, 207 when I’m watching ‘Gossip Girl.'”” This is a nod to Lively’s famous TV show and Reynolds’ reaction to it. In the story, Deadpool threatens Wolverine with informing Lively about his misbehavior – a playful action in Reynolds’ daily work as a writer.
It’s fine
In an intriguing encounter in the mysterious realm known as the Void, Deadpool and Wolverine come across Jennifer Garner’s portrayal of Elektra. Garner gained fame for her roles in “Daredevil” (2003) and her self-titled film (2005), which, unfortunately, are not fondly remembered by many. Consequently, it’s no wonder that Elektra found herself among the other heroes in this liminal space. The assembly included Garner’s interpretation of Daredevil, brought to life by Ben Affleck. However, their peaceful reunion was short-lived as Cassandra ruthlessly eliminated them all. Upon hearing this news, Deadpool expresses genuine remorse towards Elektra, saying, “I’m sorry about Daredevil.” To which she responds, “It’s alright.”
Although Elektra may coldly accept Daredevil’s absence in the comics, this statement holds a hidden significance. In reality, Garner and Affleck were married for a decade and share three children, but they divorced in 2018. Since then, Affleck has rekindled his relationship with Jennifer Lopez and remarried her in 2021. Thus, when Elektra tells Deadpool that she’s fine with Daredevil being gone, she might also be implying that, as Garner, she no longer requires Affleck in her life, having moved on from their past relationship.
Who’s your dialect coach?
As a gamer, I can tell you that Gambit, portrayed by Channing Tatum, ended up being yet another hero who found himself stranded in the Void, as depicted in “Deadpool & Wolverine.” Sadly, a film centered around Gambit never came to fruition. Tatum had been working tirelessly for years to bring this project to life, going through numerous directors before unfortunately hitting a roadblock when Disney took over Fox and put the production on hold. Although Tatum has expressed interest in revisiting the character, it appears that the chances of this happening are slim. This leaves Gambit and Tatum lingering in the Void. When Deadpool asks, “Who’s your dialect coach?” he is referring to Gambit’s distinctive accent.
In order to accurately portray the character Gambit, who hails from New Orleans and speaks with a Cajun accent, Tatum adopts an heavily accented English version while acting. This version is so strong that it’s challenging for English-speaking audiences to comprehend fully. Deadpool is bringing up this concern since, despite Tatum’s ability to fluently speak in standard English, Gambit’s dialogue at times borders on unintelligibility. The question arises: how would a movie featuring such heavily accented speech appeal to viewers?
Only been one Blade; only gonna be one Blade
As a long-time fan of the Blade franchise, I can’t help but feel a pang of sadness and frustration whenever I think about the ongoing attempts to bring a new Blade movie to life. Wesley Snipes’ iconic portrayal of the day-walking vampire hunter left an indelible mark on pop culture, and it’s been a rollercoaster ride trying to follow in his footsteps.
In the world of television, things take a new turn as Sticky Fingaz played Blade in “Blade: The Series” back in 2006, preceding Wesley Snipes’ portrayal. This series, created by David S. Goyer, lasted only for one season with 13 episodes but carried some credibility due to its connection to the Blade film franchise. However, given the chaos surrounding the new Blade movie, there’s a possibility that the entire project might be abandoned, leaving Snipes as the sole Blade on the big screen once again.
They’re going to make him do this ’til he’s 90
When Deadpool and Wolverine leap through a portal created by Cassandra from the Void, they emerge in the parking lot of Deadpool’s former workplace. In their entrance, an innocent minivan gets wrecked. Unfortunately for Peter (Rob Delaney), who had recently bought this minivan for his family, the sale occurred just prior to the superheroes’ arrival. While the parents are dismayed, their kids are elated by the unexpected visitors. Deadpool then quips about Wolverine and Hugh Jackman, commenting, “They’ll make him keep going like that until he’s ninety.”
Wolverine has been a consistent character in comics for an extended period, with no end in sight as artists can continue drawing him indefinitely. In contrast, Hugh Jackman, who plays Wolverine in movies, must eventually step down from the role. However, it hasn’t happened yet, and after announcing his retirement following “Logan” in 2017 due to physical limitations, he unexpectedly joined the cast of “Deadpool & Wolverine.” With Marvel now involved, there’s no telling when they will let him go. Deadpool might be correct; Jackman may portray Wolverine well into old age.
I’m Marvel Jesus — or Spock — hard to say
At the movie’s climax, instead of solemnly handling the critical moment when Deadpool tricks Wolverine, he quips, “I’m Marvel’s savior or Spock, can’t decide.” Previously mentioned, Deadpool repeatedly refers to himself as Marvel’s savior throughout the film. Perhaps this is why he enters the room with lethal energy, knowing full well that it could end his life. Ultimately, it was either Wolverine or Deadpool who had to face this danger, and while the former volunteered, the latter felt compelled to act not out of desire but for the sake of those relying on him.
An intriguing aspect of the quote lies in Deadpool’s allusion to the character Spock from “Star Trek,” famously portrayed by Leonard Nimoy. This reference stems from Deadpool drawing parallels with Spock’s self-sacrifice act in “Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan.” In this scene, Deadpool imitates Spock’s actions by willingly giving up his life to protect others. To emphasize the similarity, Deadpool performs a Vulcan salute, just as Spock does prior to his demise on the Enterprise. Despite the certainty of his upcoming death, Deadpool manages to find solace in this comparison to an esteemed and iconic character.
