There was a series of scenes in the post-credits of Deadpool & Wolverine that didn’t really make any sense, even though it was a sweet sentiment. That said, Avengers: Doomsday finally has a chance to give the Fox X-Men a fond farewell.
Avengers: Doomsday Can Finally Say Goodbye to Fox’s X-Men
At the end of Deadpool & Wolverine, there was a series of post-credit scenes that was a touching and heartfelt moment for fans of the Fox X-Men movies. The movie brought back Hugh Jackman as Wolverine, although from a world where he felt responsible for the X-Men’s deaths. The movie also brought back Chris Evans as Fox’s Human Torch, Jennifer Garner as Elektra, and even Wesley Snipes as Blade. However, the final credits roll showed some behind-the-scenes footage of the Fox X-Men movies.
This seemed a little weird, as it was a lovely montage that showed a tribute to all these great actors who played the X-Men over the years, and it seemed that Deadpool & Wolverine was a goodbye to the world of Fox’s X-Men. Having Jackman back as Wolverine again was a good reason why this might have been there, but MCU fans had to find this entire scene confusing. Deadpool & Wolverine came out in July 2024. However, The Marvels came out one year earlier, and its post-credit scene showed Monica Rambeau in a world with Fox’s X-Men (ot at least Kelsey Grammer’s Beast).
With the news that the X-Men would be back in Avengers: Doomsday, it seemed this loving tribute to the X-Men jumped the gun by two years. It also seems strange since Marvel knew they were bringing back the X-Men, so why did they pull the trigger on this tribute when many of these actors, including James Marsden, Patrick Stewart, and Ian McKellen, would be back in 2026? If anything, it was a lovely tribute, and now the MCU can actually write out the Fox X-Men on the big screen in Avengers: Doomsday, giving them the goodbye they deserve.
