19. The X-Men Cameo

As Wade hangs out with Colossus, he once again notes the distracting absence of mainline X-Men at the mansion. He says, "You think the studio would throw us a bone. They can't just dust off one of the famous X-Men?"

Wade's motormouth causes him to miss that a number of the X-Men are stood right behind him: Charles Xavier (James McAvoy), Beast (Nicholas Hoult), Quicksilver (Evan Peters), Cyclops (Tye Sheridan), Nightcrawler (Kodi Smit-McPhee) and Storm (Alexandra Shipp).

Beast closes the door once he catches an earful of Wade's relentless jabbering, and Wade is never the wiser to their presence. Considering it could've easily just been a running joke that no major X-Men characters appear in Deadpool movies, it was a cute surprise to actually see the gang show up, even if only for a moment.
