LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: In the latest MCU movie 'Deadpool & Wolverine', a surprising scene shows Thor mourning over Wade Wilson's body, despite the two never meeting in the film.

This intriguing moment hints at a possible future collaboration. Ryan Reynolds's Deadpool is allowed to join 'Earth-616' and the 'Sacred Timeline', potentially becoming a hero alongside the Avengers.

The TVA's Mister Paradox offers Deadpool a chance to leave his universe behind and join the main MCU timeline as a hero. However, Deadpool's universe is marked for deletion after the death of  'Wolverine', its 'anchor being'.

Deadpool refuses the offer, defying the TVA, but not before seeing footage of a major moment between himself and Thor, teasing the MCU's future.

Why is Thor crying over Deadpool in a shocking future scene?

Deadpool's excitement about joining the Avengers is short-lived when the Time Variance Authority shows him footage from the future.

Among the clips, he sees himself in Thor's arms, mirroring Loki's fake death in 'Thor: The Dark World'. This scene is confirmed to be a future event, sparking Deadpool's curiosity.

Intrigued, Deadpool repeatedly questions Mister Paradox about the moment, perplexed as to why Thor appears to be crying over him.

Later, he wakes up saying Thor's name, a running joke that might hint at more than just a celebrity crush. This unexpected twist raises intriguing questions about the future of the MCU.

The use of recycled footage from 'Thor: The Dark World' could have been a simple gag, but its confirmation as a future event adds depth to the story.

Deadpool's determination to uncover the truth about this moment suggests it might be more significant than initially thought.

Will Thor and Deadpool join forces in the next 'Avengers' movie?

Marvel's Multiverse Saga is set to conclude with 'Avengers 5' and 'Avengers: Secret Wars' in 2026 and 2027, respectively. This epic finale is anticipated to unite various heroes and realities from across the multiverse.

Given this, the upcoming 'Avengers' movies seem like the perfect opportunity for Deadpool to join forces with the team, particularly with Thor. The TVA footage in 'Deadpool & Wolverine' hints at a potential future adventure between Thor and Deadpool.

This is exciting news, especially since Wade Wilson has already expressed his admiration for Chris Hemsworth's Thor, jokingly saying he's his favorite 'Chris' actor, the other being Chris Evans.

The future footage shows Thor cradling Wade in his arms, hinting at a strong bond between the two. This could be the beginning of a beautiful friendship—or something more. Given Deadpool's unpredictable nature, it's hard to say for sure.

The TVA footage shows Thor crying over Deadpool, which is a bad sign for Wade Wilson. His mask is ripped, and he’s lying in a position reminiscent of Loki’s fake death in 'The Dark World'.

This raises concerns that someone might finally kill Deadpool in an upcoming movie, such as 'Secret Wars'.

Before that happens, we hope Deadpool gets his chance to become an Avenger. After everything that transpired in 'Deadpool & Wolverine', he’s earned it. The multiverse needs him, even if it means facing the possibility of death.

It would be amazing to see Deadpool as an Avenger, even if it's just for a little while. And who knows, maybe he’ll even get to die in Thor’s arms—something that might not be so bad for him after all.

What are the other signs 'Deadpool & Wolverine' dropped about 'Avengers: Secret Wars'?

The TVA footage isn't the only hint at 'Avengers: Secret Wars' in 'Deadpool & Wolverine'. A Marvel comic book titled, 'Secret Wars #5', is seen in the Void at the End of Time, a storage place for discarded items. This suggests a connection between the movie and the comic book series.

Mister Paradox also mentions that Deadpool has a special purpose, chosen by his superiors. Though he doesn't reveal more, this purpose is why Deadpool was invited to Earth-616.

As Deadpool and Wolverine have saved their reality, they'll likely get pulled into Earth-616's crises. This means Deadpool's higher purpose will be revealed in future MCU projects.

With this, the future moment between Deadpool and Thor is likely to happen sooner or later.
