Ryan Reynolds says Marvel will eventually explain the mysterious scene in Deadpool & Wolverine where Thor appears to cry over Deadpool. He offered no date, project or explanation. IGN reports that Reynolds made the comment in an interview with Entertainment Today.

Thor appears distressed in the Deadpool & Wolverine flash-forward scene

Why Thor was crying in Deadpool & Wolverine

The film briefly shows a future-looking image of Thor holding a badly injured Deadpool while crying. Deadpool sees the moment on a screen in the TVA and returns to it more than once, but the 2024 film never explains what it means. The question of why Thor was crying in Deadpool & Wolverine is still open.

Reynolds was asked about the unanswered scene and said: “Don’t we all want to know why was Thor crying? I want to know too. We will find out at some point. And I’m excited for people to find out.”

Chris Hemsworth has also been asked about the scene. A recent interview clip shows the Thor actor addressing the question without revealing the answer. The mystery remains intact, which is a surprisingly durable job for one emotional reaction shot.

Will Avengers: Doomsday explain the scene?

Reynolds did not say whether the answer will arrive in Avengers: Doomsday, Avengers: Secret Wars or another Marvel project. His comments confirm only that Marvel has an explanation in mind and that audiences will eventually hear it.

That leaves the scene as an open thread from Deadpool & Wolverine, alongside the wider questions around Deadpool’s next appearance. Ryan Reynolds has previously teased Deadpool’s future in team-up films, but Marvel has not announced that this Thor mystery belongs to any specific film.
