Trivia: SPOILER: When Deadpool is facing down the regenerated Deadpool Corp at the end, he tells them that the multiverse thing just isn't working and that they should take the loss. This is a reference to the films of the "Multiverse Saga" of the MCU generally not being as well received as the films from the preceding "Infinity Saga."

Trivia: The one-handed variant of Wolverine that Deadpool encounters in the alley is the version of Wolverine from the "Age of Apocalypse" storyline in the comics.

Trivia: Ben Affleck was spotted on set during filming, which led to speculation that he would be appearing as Daredevil, particularly as it was already confirmed by the studio that his ex-wife Jennifer Garner was returning as Elektra from the 2003 Daredevil film and its self-titled 2005 spin-off. It turns out Affleck was just visiting their children, as they still have a great co-parenting relationship.

Trivia: Halle Berry stirred up rumors that she would be appearing in this film, when, during its production, she posted an image of herself on social media sporting a Storm-like hairstyle. Berry told ComicBook.com that Ryan Reynolds' wife, Blake Lively, asked her if she was interested in appearing in the film, to which Berry affirmed, but that Reynolds himself never approached her. Berry's aforementioned hairstyle was seemingly for the Netflix film, "The Union."

Trivia: SPOILER: When Blade is about to blow up the entrance to Cassandra Nova's lair with a Punisher variant's AT4, Deadpool asks which Punisher it belonged to, stating there have been about "five of him." Blade responds by saying there's only one Blade, and there only ever will be, which causes Deadpool to look into the camera. This is a reference to Mahershala Ali being cast as Blade all the way back in 2019, with his planned film suffering numerous delays to the start of its production.

Trivia: Spoiler: Wesley Snipes appears in this film as Blade for the first time since 2004's Blade: Trinity, which co-starred Ryan Reynolds. Snipes reportedly had a contentious relationship with almost everyone while working on that film, although Snipes claims that he and Reynolds always liked each other. Snipes actually took to social media just a few days before this film was released to address secondhand statements about him by an acquaintance of Patton Oswalt, who also appeared in Blade: Trinity.

Trivia: SPOILER: Channing Tatum appears in this film as Gambit. Tatum was originally supposed to have a solo Gambit film in 2016 (the same year as the first Deadpool film). However, the film was continually delayed due to script rewrites, losing directors (including Rupert Wyatt, Doug Liman, and Gore Verbinski), and 20th Century Fox slashing its original $154 million budget after the financial failure of the 2015 Fantastic Four film. The film was ultimately canceled after Disney purchased Fox in 2019.

Trivia: Willem Dafoe previously played Max Schreck (and by extension, Count Orlok) in Shadow of the Vampire, which is a fictionalized telling of the filming of the 1922 Nosferatu film.

Season 3 generally

Trivia: According to Debbe Dunning on the Pod Meets World podcast, when casting for a new tool girl to replace the departing Pamela Anderson, the producers said they were looking for a Debbe Dunning-type, but not Debbe Dunning. She decided to audition anyway and was told to wear the same revealing outfit she wore as Kiki in a previous episode. When she arrived to audition, all the other hopefuls were wearing jeans and T-shirts, and Dunning was told the producers would not see her dressed that way.

Season 6 generally

Trivia: Debbe Dunning gained 52 lbs. while pregnant, which she attributed to craft services being readily available on set. She was told she would have to lose all that weight after having her baby, which she said she was able to do rather quickly.

Trivia: Season 4 of this show was review-bombed by angry conservative fans upon coming to the late conclusion that the show was a not-so-subtle mockery of their collective ideologies. Some of these same fans mistakenly believed that Homelander was supposed to be the hero. Homelander actor Antony Starr said these fans were missing the point.

Trivia: This show has a similar premise to the Showtime series Weeds, in which a working class parent enters the drug trade in order to provide for their family. Breaking Bad creator Vince Gilligan was unfamiliar with Weeds when pitching his idea and said he felt the blood drain from his face when network executives told him about Weeds. Fortunately for Gilligan, they felt the two series were different enough, and Breaking Bad is widely considered to be a superior show.

Phaneron ★

Trivia: Cedric Smith is the only living main cast member from the original animated series to not return for a role in this series. Catherine Disher, who voices Valerie Cooper in this series and voiced Jean Grey in the original series, and who also used to be married to Smith, doesn't believe Marvel even approached him about returning for this series, as he is now in his 80s and is retired.

Trivia: Prior to appearing in this film, Giancarlo Esposito expressed interest in playing either Professor Xavier or Magneto in the MCU's eventual iteration of X-Men.

Phaneron ★

Trivia: When Illyana is about to engage the Demon Bear in battle, Rahne advises against it, as the Demon Bear is magic, to which Illyana replies "So am I." In the comics, Illyana's codename is Magick.

Phaneron ★

Trivia: Maisie Williams plays Rahne Sinclair/Wolfsbane, who has the power to turn into a wolf. Williams achieved fame playing Arya Stark in Game of Thrones, whose family sigil is a direwolf. In the novels upon which Game of Thrones is based, Arya can even enter the mind of her nomadic pet direwolf.

Trivia: The first time Maika Monroe saw Nicolas Cage in make-up as Longlegs, her heart rate jumped up to over 170 bpm, around 100 above her resting heart rate.

Phaneron ★

Trivia: Ryan Gosling received a Best Supporting Actor nomination at the Academy Awards for his role in this film, but Margot Robbie and Greta Gerwig received no nominations for their performance and directorial effort, respectively. Although the Academy Awards nominations are not chosen based on cultural themes, this sparked outrage in the online fan community, as they felt it was a slap in the face to the film's message of female empowerment.

Phaneron ★

Trivia: This film won a dubious fan favorite Twitter poll at the 94th Academy Awards ceremony, although TheWrap alleges that many of the poll's voters were bots. The award itself was discontinued the following year due to backlash.
