Deadpool & Wolverine: Why Was Thor Crying Over Wade Wilson?

Many fans are eager to learn why Thor was crying over Deadpool (Wade Wilson) in Deadpool & Wolverine. This unexpected emotional moment has sparked considerable interest, especially given its potential implications for future MCU events.

For those seeking to unravel the reasons behind Thor’s tears and understand the context of this poignant scene, here’s everything you need to know.

Why was Thor crying over Wade in Deadpool & Wolverine?

Thor cried over Wade Wilson in Deadpool & Wolverine during a scene revealed by the TVA. This footage, confirmed by Paradox, shows a future MCU event. It mirrors Thor’s emotional reaction to Loki’s death in Thor: The Dark World, suggesting a significant and poignant event involving Deadpool in the future MCU timeline.

This scene could imply three possibilities:

Future Event Theory: The scene might foreshadow a future event like Avengers: Secret Wars, where Earth-616 and Earth-10005 collide due to an incursion. In this context, Deadpool could make a significant sacrifice, potentially dying in Thor’s arms. This aligns with Mister Paradox’s confirmation that the scene will take place in the future, indicating Deadpool’s critical role in upcoming MCU narratives. It also hints at Deadpool’s integration into the Avengers, fulfilling his desire to become a hero and a member of the team.

Alternate Variant Theory: The TVA footage might be depicting an alternate variant of Deadpool from another universe who dies in Thor’s arms instead of Loki. Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness established that dreams are glimpses into multiversal selves. In Deadpool & Wolverine, we saw Wade from Earth-10005 frequently waking up and murmuring about Thor. So, he could be dreaming about his variant’s experiences with Thor, indicating a subconscious connection to the alternate variant he saw at the TVA.

Humorous Parody Theory: Alternatively, the scene could simply be a humorous moment without deeper implications, parodying Loki and Thor’s emotional scene from Thor: The Dark World. In this interpretation, Deadpool could be a Loki variant of an alternate universe that dies in Thor’s arms.

Given Deadpool’s penchant for breaking the fourth wall and making meta-references, this could be a clever nod to the audience. The use of recycled footage creates a memorable, albeit non-canonical, gag. While the scene created a mystery, it’s possible that it won’t even be referenced again.

Will Deadpool die in Avengers: Secret Wars?

The scene in Deadpool & Wolverine showing Thor crying over Deadpool is speculative. Since Wade Wilson and Thor are likely to meet in Avengers: Secret Wars, there’s a possibility that this scene could be from that film. However, there is no confirmation that Deadpool will die in Avengers: Secret Wars.

Thor and Deadpool’s scene could represent a future event or an alternate timeline. This adds to the mystery and potential narrative twists for Deadpool’s character in the MCU. The scene hints at a significant event that could impact larger multiverse and crossover storylines. However, it does not specifically indicate an Avengers: Secret Wars plot.

According to Screen Rant, in a press conference, Kevin Feige confirmed that mutants will start appearing in the MCU on a larger scale after Deadpool & Wolverine, which may have set up future crossover events involving the X-Men. One could theorize that Avengers vs. X-Men could follow Secret Wars, with Avengers and X-Men from different timelines clashing. Thus, the Thor and Deadpool scene could be from that film instead of Secret Wars.

Will Deadpool join The Avengers with Thor?

The potential of Deadpool joining the Avengers remains uncertain.

Despite his initial rejection by Happy Hogan in 2018, the Thor and Deadpool moment could indicate that the former will ultimately prove his worth. This may happen in the future or an alternate timeline where Thor and Deadpool become great friends. Thor’s tears over Deadpool could suggest a deepening relationship, leading to future collaborations with him and even the Avengers.

But for now, Deadpool seems content with not being part of the Earth’s Mightiest Heroes.
