Two of the most important stars within the Marvel Cinematic Universe are teasing one of many franchise’s largest questions, and we’re right here for it. Early on in Deadpool & Wolverine, Wade Wilson (Ryan Reynolds) is delivered to the TVA the place he sees a picture on a monitor of himself, bloodied and battered, being cradled by Thor (Chris Hemsworth), who’s crying. Wade begs for extra details about it however Mr. Paradox tells him to neglect it, saying it’s from the distant future. The query then comes up just a few extra instances alongside the best way.
By the tip of the movie, we nonetheless don’t know why Thor was crying, however two individuals who do know are Reynolds and Hemsworth. The previous took to social media earlier this week to say “I do know why Thor was crying. I can’t unknow it.” That was reposted a day later by Hemsworth who stated “I can hold secrets and techniques too.” Right here you may see each posts.

So now we have a number of ideas right here. The primary is, regardless of the reply, Marvel isn’t fearful about it getting out. It might nonetheless be an enormous spoiler, however the studio has been very liberal with exhibiting it in a method it hasn’t with different issues. Again in April, Disney shared about 10 minutes of Deadpool & Wolverine at CinemaCon and the Thor crying scene was in there. It was additionally a part of the 40 minutes of footage the studio confirmed to the press proper earlier than the film’s launch. That is important as a result of, in that second block of footage, Henry Cavill’s cameo was particularly minimize out. So, Disney and Marvel mentioned which spoilers to point out and which to hide—and apparently Thor crying was okay.
Why is that? Effectively, we’d think about there are just a few causes. One is that within the Multiverse, something and the whole lot is feasible. So we could by no means see or discover out why Thor was crying. It could possibly be some random occasion from one other timeline we by no means see. Or, it’s from a film that hasn’t been written but or is being written. Like Avengers: Secret Wars, by which each characters are more likely to seem. Wade and Thor actually share a sure stage of humor so you may see them changing into pals. And if it’s from Secret Wars, perhaps not even Marvel is aware of particularly what the rationale shall be, because it’s nonetheless very early within the course of.
We actually love that these stars are teasing us about it, although. Out of the whole lot that occurs in Deadpool & Wolverine, that is the most important tease of what may be coming for the Merc With the Mouth. And that there’s some type of tough plan in place is nice to know.
Deadpool & Wolverine is now in theaters. Avengers: Secret Wars is scheduled for launch in Might 2027.
