One unused idea for ‘Deadpool and Wolverine‘ almost made the MCU movie’s crying Thor scene far more integral to the film than fans could have imagined. Despite being only a few seconds, the scene had the internet in a chokehold.
Everybody wanted to know why the God of Thunder was crying with the Merc in his arms. However, to date, the mystery remains, and fans are still wondering what it might have meant. Now, new details reveal that the scene could’ve been a bigger deal than it was.
‘Deadpool And Wolverine’ Creator Had Plans For The Film To Parody ‘Thor: The Dark World’
After the film’s success, it was only natural for ‘Deadpool and Wolverine’ to get an Assembled documentary. The documentary offers fans a fascinating look at the countless ideas and concepts that were thrown around before the final version hit the screen.
Among the most intriguing was an idea so outrageous, it feels like it could have come from Deadpool himself. The executive producer of the film, Wendy Jacobson, opened up about the crazy ideas surrounding the film. “I was going through my notes the other day looking at stuff. We had some crazy ideas,” she stated.
“At one point, we talked about a frame-for-frame remake of Thor: The Dark World up until the midpoint with Deadpool in it, and then it would go to another place,” she added. For context, ‘Thor: The Dark World‘ has long been considered one of the MCU’s weaker entries.
The film was criticized for its overly serious tone and lackluster villain. Now, imagine Wade Wilson critiquing Thor’s dramatic monologues in real-time, or Wolverine refusing to participate in the “ridiculous” scenes involving dark elves. However, while the concept had potential, it also risked overshadowing the main story.
So instead, ‘Deadpool and Wolverine’ opted for a subtler approach. They gave Thor a hilarious cameo and referenced his emotional crying scene in ‘Thor: Love and Thunder’. This decision kept the film focused on its titular duo while still delivering the kind of MCU jabs fans love.

Ryan also shared an image on X which sparked intense speculation among fans. “I know why Thor was crying. I can’t unknow it,” he stated. Even Chris Hemsworth himself couldn’t resist joining the conversation, playfully responding, “I can keep secrets too.”
While neither actor has explicitly revealed the reason for Thor’s emotional state, the mystery generated significant buzz and anticipation. Fans are eagerly awaiting an answer. Ultimately, the decision to sideline the ‘Thor: The Dark World‘ parody was likely the right one.
