Does Deadpool Have Two Post-Credit Scenes?

The confusion around post-credit scenes can be quite amusing, especially when it comes to Hollywood blockbusters. Take the case of Deadpool. Many fans believe that the movie has two post-credit scenes. So, does Deadpool indeed have two post-credit scenes?

What the Director Said

From special screenings, it's known that director Tim McCanlies mentioned that audience members haven't seen the whole movie yet. He hinted that different post-credit scenes would be shown in theaters. Unfortunately, the author of this article was not present at such screenings, so the exact scenario is uncertain. It's possible that different post-credit scenes would be shown for DVD releases as well.

The Surprise Reveal: Cable

One of those post-credit scenes revealed a secret character, Cable, who would feature prominently in Deadpool 2. Cable, whose full name is Joseph Joseph Reyes, has impressive superpowers such as time travel and a bionic arm. This revelation was made by Tim McCanlies during the QA session at the special screenings.

One or Two Post-Credit Scenes?

Some sources claim that Deadpool only has one post-credit scene. However, in that scene, Deadpool uses a black screen to create a Deadpool-style diversion. Here's a breakdown of the plot:

The opening sequence shows Deadpool saying, Go home. He then adds, Oh!!! You are waiting for a teaser of Deadpool 2. Sorry, but we don't have that kind of money.
Now go, go. Just as the audience thinks the credits are over, Deadpool returns in a black screen for a brief moment, and says a quick line: So, basically, it was one post-credit scene.

Later, though, it became clear that Deadpool indeed has two post-credit scenes. Here's a detailed look:

The First Post-Credit Scene

The first post-credit scene, which played in front of early screenings, was somewhat inconsequential. It featured Deadpool greeting the audience in a Ferris Bueller-like bathrobe. He even made a joke about why the audience was still there for the end-credits, teasing other movie end-credits scenes, including those in Marvel's Disney movies.

The Second Post-Credit Scene

The second post-credit scene was much more significant as it revealed a new character: Cable. In this scene, Deadpool returns to the audience in his bathrobe and announces that a new character called Cable will be part of the sequel, Deadpool 2. This setup was a clever way to keep fans engaged and excited for the next installment of the franchise.

Conclusion

Teams behind superhero movies like Deadpool often use post-credit scenes to tease viewers with new characters and plot twists. This device not only keeps audiences entertained but also generates hype for upcoming releases. For fans of the Deadpool franchise, staying for the end-credits is highly recommended to catch both the humorous and the significant post-credit scenes.
