Why Is Thor Crying in Deadpool & Wolverine? Director Says "I Don't F---ing Know"

As a seasoned gamer and Marvel enthusiast who’s spent countless hours navigating the complexities of multiple universes, I must admit that the mystery surrounding Thor’s tears in Deadpool & Wolverine has me utterly bewildered. It’s not every day you see the God of Thunder weeping over a merc with a mouth!


In the words of a well-known Madonna tune, “Life is full of mysteries.” One such enigma unfolds in the world of Deadpool and Wolverine: Why did Thor weep over Deadpool? Even director Shawn Levy admits he can’t provide an answer. As for Wade Wilson (portrayed by Ryan Reynolds), his journey leads him to the Time Variance Authority – an entity beyond space and time that oversees the multiverse. Here, Mr. Paradox (Matthew Macfadyen) presents him with screens displaying some of the most noble acts in the Sacred Timeline, which represents Earth-616, the main setting for the Marvel Cinematic Universe.

Among the Marvel Cinematic Universe’s top achievements are moments like Captain America (portrayed by Chris Evans) giving a salute in 2011’s “Captain America: The First Avenger”, the first gathering of Earth’s strongest heroes in 2012’s “The Avengers”, and the powerful thunder deity Thor (Chris Hemsworth), shedding tears upon Deadpool’s demise. By the way, you might want to check out the amusing “why is Thor crying” running joke in the official TV spot below.

Wade questions, using a clip from the 2013 movie “Thor: The Dark World,” if the weeping figure is indeed Thor. He’s curious to know why Thor appears to be crying. However, Mr. Paradox cuts off the broadcast, sparking speculation among viewers whether this was a sneak peek into an alternate reality or future events (possibly in the finale of the Multiverse Saga, the Russo brothers-directed “Avengers: Doomsday” and “Avengers: Secret Wars”).

As a lifelong fan of Marvel movies, I appreciate the honesty and refreshing approach taken by director Matt Shakman when discussing the making of his latest film. In today’s era of interconnected universes and sequels galore, it’s reassuring to know that not every project is merely a setup for something bigger. It seems that this movie was created with its own unique story in mind, without being beholden to any existing narrative. This approach resonates with me, as I too have often found myself yearning for self-contained stories within the Marvel universe. The mystery surrounding Thor’s tears adds an intriguing layer to the film, and I can’t help but feel excited at the prospect of unraveling that enigma. As a fan, it’s always thrilling when creators take risks and dare to leave some questions unanswered, allowing us to imagine our own answers in the process.

The movie Deadpool and Wolverine concludes with the yellow-suited Logan variant (portrayed by Hugh Jackman) teaming up with X-23 (Dafne Keen) in the X-Men movies timeline on Earth-10005, as suggested by director Drew Goddard. Regarding what’s to come next, Goddard stated, “I honestly don’t know what lies ahead. I truly hope and aim to be involved in telling those future stories. Throughout the production process, we were never asked to contribute to a broader narrative or phase. To this day, I couldn’t tell you which phase our film belongs to, if it’s Phase 14 or otherwise.”

Marvel Studios’ Deadpool & Wolverine is now playing only in theaters.
