We have neglected returnees from the Deadpool films in this list.

Deadpool & Wolverine Cameo #1: Jon Favreau as Happy Hogan

When Wade Wilson first enters the reality of the Sacred Timeline or Earth-616 at the beginning of the film, an MCU cameo is a must. Deadpool wants to apply for the Avengers and will be Happy Hogan (Jon Favreau), the head of security at Stark Industry. The scene takes place in 2018, before the events of Endgame. This means that Tony Stark is still alive at this point, but unfortunately not available for a guest appearance.

Deadpool & Wolverine Cameo #2: Hulk

Probably the shortest guest appearance in Deadpool & Wolverine the incredible Hulk. During a montage in which Wade searches the multiverse for possible Logan variants, he briefly stumbles into a reality where Wolverine and the Hulk are battling. The short scene is an homage to Wolverine’s very first comic book appearance in The Incredible Hulk series in 1974.

Deadpool & Wolverine Cameo #3: Henry Cavill as Wolverine

There was a lot of speculation beforehand about which Hollywood stars could play alternative versions of Wolverine. Ultimately, we only get to see one Logan variant that is not played by Hugh Jackman himself. During his multiverse trip, Deadpool meets the “Cavillrine“. In his best Origins outfit (a white undershirt) and with a cigar in his mouth, Henry Cavill presents himself as an alternative Wolverine.

Deadpool & Wolverine Cameo #4: Chris Evans as…Johnny Storm

It is probably the biggest and funniest cameo in the film. In the wasteland of the Void at the end of time (originally: The Void), Deadpool and Wolverine meet a mysterious figure. When the figure pulls down its hood, Chris Evans is revealed, whom Marvel fans last saw as Captain America in Endgame.

Even Deadpool is convinced that he is facing the legendary Avenger. The surprise is all the greater: He shouts loudly “Flame on!” and turns out to be a variant of the Fantastic Four hero Johnny Stormwhich Evans once played in the 2000s. If you want to see more of the fiery Johnny, you should stay until the end of the film.

Deadpool & Wolverine Cameo #5: Jennifer Garner as Elektra

On their trip through the void, Wolverine and Deadpool meet four outcasts in a cave who join the fight against villain Cassandra Nova (Emma Corrin) as a kind of mini-Avengers. The first surprise cameo is Jennifer Garner, who returns as a Marvel heroine after almost 20 years. Electra you can see.

The fourth member of the group around Elektra, Blade and Gambit is the Mutant Laura, who is played by Dafne Keen again seven years after her first appearance in Logan – The Wolverine.
