The Tease: Why Is Thor Crying?
Reynolds shared a cryptic post on X (formerly Twitter) featuring an image of Deadpool with half his mask torn off. The accompanying caption read, “I know why Thor was crying. I can’t unknow it.” This mysterious statement had fans buzzing, wondering what could make the mighty God of Thunder shed tears.
Adding fuel to the fire, Reynolds posted a video showing a theater full of fans reacting to a scene from the movie. He teased further with the caption, “Is it a movie? Is it a rock concert? Is it both? Why was Thor crying?” Clearly, this moment is more than just a throwaway gag.
The Scene Explained: Deadpool Meets Thor
In Deadpool & Wolverine, there’s a scene where Deadpool finds himself in the Time Variance Authority (TVA) headquarters—a location familiar to fans of Loki. Here, he’s accompanied by Mr. Paradox, played by Matthew Macfadyen, as they watch clips from past MCU movies on video monitors.
One of these clips is a modified version of a scene from Thor: The Dark World (2013), where Thor cradles Loki, believing his brother is about to die. However, in this reimagined version, Thor is holding Deadpool instead of Loki. When Deadpool sees this, he turns to Mr. Paradox and asks, “Why is Thor crying?” Paradox, dodging the question, simply replies, “Let’s not get ahead of ourselves, that happens in the distant future.”
What Does This Mean for the MCU?
At first glance, this might seem like classic Deadpool humor, but it could have deeper implications. Paradox’s reference to the “distant future” hints that this scene could foreshadow events in upcoming Marvel films, particularly Avengers: Secret Wars.
The MCU is heading into a multiverse saga, where different timelines and alternate realities are expected to collide. If Secret Wars does explore these possibilities, we might see Thor and Deadpool together again, potentially in a new version of this emotional scene from The Dark World. This could indicate a closer bond between the two characters or a significant loss they both experience in the future.
The Bigger Picture: What’s Next for Deadpool and Thor?
This moment in Deadpool & Wolverine suggests that Marvel is not just giving us a fun crossover but is also setting up bigger storylines for future movies. Secret Wars is anticipated to feature a massive ensemble cast, with characters from across the MCU’s history. Revisiting and reimagining pivotal moments like Thor’s emotional scene could be a way to explore how these events resonate differently across the multiverse.
Ryan Reynolds’ teaser about Thor crying in Deadpool & Wolverine has sparked a lot of speculation, and for good reason. Whether it’s a clever Easter egg or a setup for future MCU events, this moment adds an intriguing layer to the ever-evolving Marvel story. As the MCU dives deeper into the multiverse, fans can look forward to more surprises and connections that tie these beloved characters together in unexpected ways.
