Getting his apartment ready for the explosion, Wade gets his belongings in order, including a toy showing Hugh Jackman’s Wolverine impaled on a tree branch.
The beauty of a franchise like Deadpool is that it allows Fox to make fun of the other X-Men properties without directly spoofing them.
That’s exactly what we see in the opening minutes of Deadpool 2 when Wade Wilson prepares to blow himself up — for reasons that become apparent later in the film.
Of course, fans of the X-Men franchise will quickly recognize that this is a dig at the final scene in Logan in which the clawed mutant dies in X-23’s arms.
