Inside ‘Deadpool & Wolverine’s’ Shockingly Sweet Eulogy for 20th Century Fox
The new 'Deadpool & Wolverine' film serves as a heartfelt farewell to 20th Century Fox, featuring sentimental tributes and cameos from past Marvel characters.
The latest Marvel blockbuster, 'Deadpool & Wolverine,' has surprised audiences with its sentimental homage to the late 20th Century Fox. This iconic studio, which was sold to Disney in 2019, was the birthplace of many beloved Marvel characters like Deadpool and the X-Men, whose exploits came to an end due to the merger.
Director Shawn Levy honored these characters by including cameos from various discarded Marvel characters such as Jennifer Garner’s Elektra and Chris Evans’ Human Torch. The film also features Channing Tatum as Gambit, a role that never saw the light of day due to prolonged development issues at Fox.
The emotional highlight of the movie comes during the end credits, where a montage of behind-the-scenes footage from past Marvel films plays over Green Day's 'Good Riddance (Time of Your Life).' This nostalgic tribute has struck a chord with many involved in those projects, offering a heartfelt farewell to the studio that brought so many iconic characters to life.
