Deadpool 2: 10 Best Moments

8. That X-Men Cameo

After Colossus (Stefan Kapičić) picks up Deadpool's body parts and brings him back to the X-Mansion, Wade comments once again about the distracting lack of actual X-Men present at the abode.

He tells the big guy, "You think the studio would throw us a bone. They can't just dust off one of the famous X-Men? What about that putz with the giant pigeon wings? What do those do anyway, huh? Carry him three feet off the ground and snatch up the nearest muffin crumb?" Presumably he's talking about Angel, who nobody gave even the slightest damn about in X-Men: Apocalypse.

While Wade mumbles, a number of the X-Men are briefly visible in the room behind him: Charles Xavier (James McAvoy), Beast (Nicholas Hoult), Quicksilver (Evan Peters), Cyclops (Tye Sheridan), Nightcrawler (Kodi Smit-McPhee) and Storm (Alexandra Shipp).

Wade's motormouth is loud enough that Beast quietly closes the door without him even noticing. This was a wonderful way to hang a lampshade on a "plot hole" Deadpool already mentioned in the first movie and have even more fun with it this time around.
