With so many cameos and variant characters in Deadpool & Wolverine, it’s hard to keep track of them all.
Now, behind the scenes images have been published that show we could have had an Avengers-sized variant.
Get ready for the Thunderbolts* to launch into cinemas next year.

It appears, in a cast photo, that a variant of Nick Fury could have appeared, played by Davey Mack, as he featured in the Void wearing an eye-patch that seems very familiar.
The actor, fully decked out in black leather with the right hair and the aforementioned eye-patch, could have easily played the Avengers character, however, it is reportedly not him.
Mack was actually playing an X-Men character called Erg, who is a familiar character in the comics and is linked to the Morlocks, but he isn’t a well-known star in the MCU or any other Marvel universe on screen.
Erg was eventually cut from the recent MCU smash-hit, perhaps because this exact confusion would arise when he appeared.
As much as we’d have loved to have seen a Nick Fury variant, the film focused mostly on variants played by established actors, like Chris Evans as Johnny Storm, as well as many X-Men and Marvel legends.
Perhaps we will one day get a Fury variant and if we do, I pray that it’s David Hasselhoff who steps into the shoes as an homage to his history of playing the character.
Deadpool & Wolverine was a huge hit in cinemas, bringing back Hugh Jackman to play alongside Ryan Reynolds in the action-packed blockbuster.
The film will soon come to streaming services where you’ll be able to examine it frame-by-frame for more easter eggs and cameos than you can shake a stick at.
Of course, the multiverse is due to come to an end with the next two Avengers films, so there’s still plenty of time for more cameos, variants, and new heroes and villains to appear from across Marvel history.
