I assumed it was a joke similar to the Professor X McaVoy or Stewart joke in DP1. Who knows though.

He's not making jokes in relation to the multiverse. He's Zach Morris breaking the fourth wall.

I realize the joke wouldn't land as well, but it's interesting that Deadpool refers to him as "Paul Rudd" and not "Scott Lang." And yes, I also realize Deadpool mentions "Kevin Feige." I'm just curious what both mentions indicate, if anything, re: how far down the multiversal rabbit hole Deadpool goes. Seeing as those mentions feel a layer deeper than he's gone before, in terms knowing/winking references.

I don't think you need to read that much into it, it's just breaking the 4th wall for comedy's sake.

I've only seen the first two movies once each. And yes, Deadpool obviously breaks the fourth wall the time, I just don't remember him ever breaking it to the point of acknowledging the actors/string pullers in *our* world - to other characters in his world - if that makes sense. Then again, I'm sure I'm not recalling certain incidents. I just found it curious, that's all.

in the first Deadpool there's a scene where the big metal dude says, "Let's take him to Professor Xavier"

And he comes back with, "Is that Stewart or McCovoy?"

I don't think he does specific things like that many times but there's been a few I'm sure.

He mentions Ryan Reynolds, Green Lantern, and murders his previous incarnation of Deadpool from X-Men Origins.

The pizza in the early scene of Deadpool is from Fiege Pizza.

I know what fourth wall breaks are.

Again, I was talking about breaking the fourth wall TO other characters (and not just the audience) to acknowledge people in "our" world.

Deadpool of course talks to US, the audience, all the time. I just didn't remember him breaking the fourth wall in a way that other character could hear him as well.

In the first movie, Colossus is dragging Deadpool away and said "let's go see Professor Xavier" and Deadpool responds " which one Stewart or McAvoy? These timelines are so confusing"

I like the Paul Rudd comment better.

in DP2 he refers to josh brolin at least once...if not twice by Thanos....so he doesn't exactly call him josh brolin but makes the audience aware that he knows it's the same actor....

"Pump the hate breaks Thanos."

Loved that line and that was before I had even seen any of the MCU movies....

Hey! Did you guys remember that Deadpool referenced Stewart and McAvoy in the first movie after Colossus said he was taking Deadpool to Prof. Xavier?

I look forward to the 50 billion Twitter movie reviewers who use the word "meta" in the first Graf of their forthcoming reviews of this film

Don't worry someone on this thread will post all of them.

Hasnt that always been marvels schtick is easy going movies? They are just bad at making entertaining ones now.

Marvel's recipe for success is fun movies driven by entertaining characters.

They've struggled a bit on both ingredients since the original Avengers team largely retired with End Game. More shows and characters have whiffed than hit. They can still get the magic back, they just need to deliver on that core of fun movies and entertaining characters again.

Honestly, I don't know that they can which is why I haven't been that critical of where Disney has taken Marvel since End Game.

What they pulled together for the 20+ film MCU from Iron Man to End Game is, if we're being honest, simply amazing. Like I have said so many times before, if it sells well to tweenage to college age boys, you're winning. If you get the Gen X dad crowd in on it too, you're killing it. And if the wives/girlfriends start showing up (if for no other reason than it's the cool thing to do) you're knocking it out of the park.

I don't know how they can replicate that.
