About a month ago, Deadpool and Wolverine hit the big screen, whisking Marvel enthusiasts on a thrilling journey through the expansive Marvel multiverse – almost. It turns out that there was an unexpected homage to Marvel Comics in the works, as revealed by Andy Park, Director of Visual Development at Marvel Studios, on Instagram. He shared an early piece of art he created for Deadpool & Wolverine, depicting a scenario where Wade Wilson (played by Ryan Reynolds) would have found himself in the actual comic universe of Marvel. In this imagined scene, each member of the original six MCU Avengers is portrayed in their unique artistic style that mirrors their most iconic comic book artists, such as Bob Layton’s Iron Man, Jack Kirby’s Captain America, and Sal Buscema’s Hulk. Although Park didn’t confirm specific references, fans have been guessing wildly about the potential influences behind these characters.
