Only 1 second on screen: But no one has forgotten this star’s appearance in Deadpool 2

Hidden details, winks, all kinds of references and systematic grinding of the fourth wall… When it comes to collecting Easter eggs, the three parts of the Deadpool saga are true champions, even when compared to other Marvel comics movies. .

In 2016, the first feature film directed by Tim Miller already set the bar, and the latest opus released in our cinemas last summer broke all records, but today let’s focus on the second film that came out there at the age of 6 and a cameo that no audience could forget.

who is the ghost

We are halfway through the film. Wade Wilson, aka Deadpool, decides to assemble a team of mutants to take on the formidable Cable, played by Josh Brolin. In his X-Force, we find a guy who can distort electric fields, a guy who vomits acid, a girl who is very lucky, a common man and… an invisible man.

It is impossible to know who is playing this mysterious “ghost”, precisely because he is invisible. And yet… viewers will still get a spectacular and memorable little glimpse of the superhero team in action a little later in the film.

1 second of Brad Pitt!

The operation is a complete fiasco, and within minutes the members of X-Force are destroyed one after another after jumping from the plane. Parachuting down, the Phantom seems to be doing a little better than the others, but he accidentally hits a power line and bursts into flames in seconds.

A single and unique moment in which he loses his invisibility and where we can secretly see his face: Brad Pitt’s face.

Tucked into the middle of an already hilarious scene, this completely unexpected and completely absurd cameo (as it almost gratuitously involves one of Hollywood’s biggest stars) truly went down in Marvel history.
