Though Deadpool 2's theatrical cut settled for an admittedly spectacular mid-credits scene while leaving the tail-end of the credits blank, Once Upon A Deadpool actually includes an unexpected little treat for those who stick around.

Following Stan Lee's death last month, a tribute was quickly assembled and tagged onto the final cut of the film, honouring his legacy with a few behind-the-scenes glimpses of him shooting the original Deadpool 2 teaser trailer and speaking about his legacy.

There are sure to be few dry eyes in the house once the movie's truly over, and given how little time there was to prep a substantial tribute to Lee, this was an impressively heart-warming way to close the film out.

What did you think of Once Upon A Deadpool? Was it worth a trip to the cinema? Shout it out in the comments!
