When you sat down for Deadpool & Wolverine, you probably expected chaos, comedy, and a questionable amount of fourth-wall breaks. But then—bam—there’s Thor, crying over Deadpool’s battered body. It flashes for just a second before the TVA (Time Variance Authority) changes the channel, like someone frantically skipping spoilers on a streaming service.
So what’s going on here?
The Chain That Links Thor, Loki, The TVA, And Deadpool
Deadpool lands in the TVA, glances at a monitor, and there’s Thor kneeling over Wade’s wrecked body. The TVA switches the channel almost instantly. That fast cut matters—it’s because the moment comes from the future on the sacred timeline, the main MCU storyline.

If we track Marvel’s release plan, the next place Thor and Deadpool could realistically share the screen is Avengers: Secret Wars. That’s the story where collapsing universes and multiverse crossovers allow characters from outside the sacred timeline to arrive. It’s the perfect setup for Deadpool to fully enter the main MCU alongside Thor, and the TVA’s “not yet” reaction fits perfectly into that plan.
From there, Wade leads Thor through the TVA to reach Loki. And then the path splits in two possible directions:
- The serious version – Deadpool takes a real hit. Maybe fatal. Thor’s grief isn’t just for a fallen ally—it’s for the one person who gave him back his brother and paid for it with his life.
- The Deadpool version – Wade fakes the whole thing, lying limp just long enough for Thor to break down, then popping back up completely fine thanks to his healing factor. I can see Wade delivering it in his own way—half sincere, half sarcastic. Something like, “If I don’t make it, I want a Viking funeral. Fireworks. And maybe a giant inflatable me floating in the sky.”
Either way, that flash on the TVA monitor is about Thor reacting to the loss of Deadpool—whether it’s permanent or not.
Fun Fact: The Crying Shot Isn’t New
Marvel didn’t film a fresh close-up of Thor for this scene. They reused footage from Thor: The Dark World, where Thor believed Loki had died. Putting it here connects Thor’s past grief over Loki to a future loss involving Deadpool, without saying it outright.
