10 Times The MCU Broke The Fourth Wall

3. Deadpool Tells Thanos To "Zip It!" - Deadpool 2

Though not strictly going down within the MCU at the point of its arrival on the cinematic scene, the fact the most terrifying big bad in the history of Marvel Studios and a character who now falls under the Disney banner were involved in the outstanding fourth wall break in question means they just about squeeze onto this list.

As the summer of Brolin known as 2018 was in full swing, the Merc with a Mouth simply could not resist taking a crowd-popping swipe at the familiar face of a big purple talking nut-sack as his sequel reached its epic climax.

When faced with an uncooperative Cable late on, Wade Wilson hilariously demands him to "Zip it, Thanos!" before getting a face full of metal hand for his troubles.

It's a throwaway dig and acts as one of the many MCU salutes over the course of the Fox picture. But you'd be lying if you didn't let out a sudden gut laugh at the acknowledgement of Josh Brolin dominating the villainous superhero world and providing a clear MCU headache now that Cable and Thanos are now most likely a part of the same universe, right?
