By now, the Merc with the Mouth has fully trained viewers to expect the unexpected. Remember when the first “Deadpool” set its entire climax on a helicarrier ripped straight out of the MCU, though without ever calling attention to it? Or when the sequel hilariously paid a visit to Professor X’s mansion and rudely interrupted an X-Men meeting? Well, that was nothing compared to what “Deadpool 3” appears to be folding into the action.
Thanks to new set photos posted on Twitter (formally known as “X”), we now know that the production crew brought a couple of vehicles onto the set that will presumably be featured in the plot. That’s nothing special for any spectacle-filled superhero movie, of course, but these in particular carry major repercussions for just how zany this film could become. The first attention-grabbing crossover comes courtesy of a certain cupcake truck that, on the surface, might not seem all that interesting. But eagle-eyed fans will surely recognize this as the exact same truck that appeared in Marvel’s “Moon Knight” series streaming on Disney+. Oscar Isaac’s superhero with an identity crisis once manically drove this same van through the perilous twists and turns of the Alps while escaping from bad guys. There are some obvious alterations made to the truck here, of course, but it’s still recognizably one and the same.
The second reveal involves an even more shocking blast from the MCU’s past. The set photos also appear to show the souped-up roadster (a 1942 V16 Coupe, for the gearheads out there) owned by Hugo Weaving’s Red Skull in “Captain America: The First Avenger.” If one looks even closer, there also appears to be Cap’s World War II-era motorcycle hanging out nearby, too. What could this all mean? The possibilities are endless.
