What does Deadpool and Wolverine’s mid-credits scene mean?
The first additional scene isn’t necessarily crucial to the development of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, but it’s certainly moving.
The filmmakers have put together a clip montage of behind-the-scenes footage from the X-Men franchise, shot by 20th Century Fox.
The footage includes Hugh Jackman as Wolverine, Patrick Stewart and James McAvoy as Charles Xavier, Ian McKellen and Michael Fassbender as Magneto, and Jennifer Lawrence as Mystique.
This additional material gives viewers a glimpse into the past of the X-Men universe. Now that Disney has acquired the rights to the mutants, the clip is also a farewell to the previous era.

What does Deadpool and Wolverine’s end credit scene mean?
The second hidden scene hints at the tragic fate of Johnny Storm (known as Human Torch), whom Deadpool and Wolverine met in the Void.
After the three heroes were captured by a group of mutants and dragged to the fortress of Cassandra Nova, the Merc with a Mouth proved worthy of his nickname. In a frenzied monologue, Deadpool threw an impressive number of insults in Cassandra’s face and attributed authorship to a terrified Johnny. As a result, the Human Torch was flayed and exploded by the telepath.
Throughout the rest of the film, Deadpool unconvincingly tried to explain that he was simply quoting Storm’s earlier words.
In the post-credits scene, Deadpool decides to prove once and for all that he told the truth. Thanks to TVA’s CCTV footage, everyone can see that during the trip to the fort, Johnny spewed insults about Cassandra and ended his monologue with an ironic desire to skin. Additionally, he gave Deadpool permission to quote his statement.
