What does the Deadpool and Wolverine mid-credits scene mean?
The first additional scene isn’t necessarily crucial to the development of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, but it’s definitely touching.
The filmmakers have created a behind-the-scenes video montage of the X-Men franchise, created by 20th Century Fox.
The images feature, among others, Hugh Jackman as Wolverine, Patrick Stewart and James McAvoy as Charles Xavier, Ian McKellen and Michael Fassbender as Magneto, and Jennifer Lawrence as Mystique.
This additional content gives viewers a glimpse into the past of the X-Men universe. Now that Disney has acquired the rights to the mutants, the clip is also a farewell to the previous era.

What does the Deadpool and Wolverine end credits scene mean?
The second hidden scene refers to the tragic fate of Johnny Storm (known as the Human Torch), whom Deadpool and Wolverine encountered in the Void.
After the three heroes were captured by a group of mutants and dragged to Cassandra Nova’s fortress, the Merc with the Mouth proved himself worthy of his nickname. In a frenzied monologue, Deadpool hurled an impressive number of insults in Cassandra’s face and attributed their authorship to a terrified Johnny. As a result, the Human Torch was flayed and exploded by the telepath.
Throughout the rest of the film, Deadpool half-heartedly tried to explain that he was simply quoting Storm’s previous words.
In the post-credits scene, Deadpool decides to prove once and for all that he was telling the truth. Thanks to the TVA camera footage, everyone can see that during the trip to the fortress, Johnny did indeed spew insults at Cassandra and ended his monologue with an ironic wish to be skinned alive. Additionally, he gave Deadpool permission to quote his statement.
