Deadpool 2: 9 Most Likely Secret Cameos

4. Captain America (Or Another Secret Avenger)

As soon as Disney made their play for Fox's key properties, the question of integration became a particularly pertinent one. Surely there could be no way this version of the character could ever be adopted into the existing, family-friendly franchise given his penchant for obscenity, outrageousness and debauchery? He's basically the anti-Disney character, after all.

But since then we've heard no whispers of Deadpool being killed off as a property by Disney after the merger and Fox's plans for more X-Men movies (including for Josh Brolin's Cable suggest the immediate future may be bright for 'Pool). And what better way to cement that than by having a cheeky MCU character cameo as a throw-away gag to drive a bit of marketing attention to the movie?

Sure, it might confuse the timeline, but there was a SHIELD Helicarrier in the first movie, so it's not like there's not precedent. And who wouldn't want to see Cap and Deadpool share notes on heroism?
