Deadpool and WolverineOur selection features a parody, a curious special performance that made horror cinema history, and an actor making fun of his image online. Nothing is missed in this unique collection of brief but memorable appearances from some of the most beloved characters.
Zoolander
In 2001, long before cameos became a widespread trend, Ben Stiller decided to use special appearances for laughs. And boy, did he deliver. ZoolanderThe story of a male model, as awkward as he is charming, is a satire on the world of fashion, stereotypes and modern ideas about beauty.
It also features a series of runway and entertainment moments that made viewers laugh and surprised and delighted pop culture fans. Tom Ford, Donatella Versace, Cuba Gooding Jr. and Steve Kmetko all feature in the feature film. Although it was the look that was most memorable David Bowie as a referee at a secret modeling duel between Zoolander (Stiller) and Hansel (Owen Wilson).
Zoolander showed that cameos could be more than just a way to grab attention. They could also make the plot richer, more varied, smarter, and broader, which is what this comedy does in some of its best scenes. The resource that is now Deadpool and Wolverine took it to a new dimension.
Deadpool 2
Deadpool 2 (2018) attempted to delve deeper into the personality of its protagonist, using the death of Vanessa (Morena Baccarin) and its impact on the Merc with a Mouth as a trigger. Unable to die, Deadpool begins – in his own way – a journey of vindication that leads him to create X-Force, his own team of heroes.
To do this, he decides to recruit a group of losers, among whom are Disappearedthe invisible man. The joke about this character is that you don’t see his face until he gets caught up in a series of crazy circumstances that take his life.
When first deployed In Vanisher’s case, his invisibility is broken when he becomes entangled in power cables. The electrical blasts that kill him reveal Brad Pitt as his translator.

X-Men in Charles Xavier’s mansion. Among them are James McAvoy’s Professor X and Nicholas Hoult’s Beast.
Thor: Ragnarok
Thor: Ragnarok (2017), the third installment in the God of Thunder sub-franchise, completely changed the tone and pace. Director Taika Waititi took the protagonist’s story and turned it into a funny satire that poked fun at its protagonists. At the same time, he explored how the protagonist saw the world from a new – and more emotional – perspective.
The experiment included a dose of absurdist humor that managed to combine the epic tone of the saga with a funnier, even childish backdrop. One such twist was how the film showed Loki (Tom Hiddleston) enjoying life in Asgard, impersonating his father Odin (Anthony Hopkins).
Including a majestic figure strolling in a robe through the gardens of the Royal Palace of Valaskjálf, enjoying the spectacle. The latter spoke of Loki’s pain when he died in the events of the previous film. Curious? That the epic on stage had a magnificent cast: Matt Damon like Loki, Sam Neill like Odin and Luke Hemsworthin a psychedelic incarnation of Thor.

This time, however, the actor was barely seen in two episodes of the feature film. In one of them, the titular monster is killed in the most horrific way. In the other, he is seen as a ghost that has flooded the streets of the fictional city of Derry. Without a doubt, a very special case for fans of the genre, although far from the scale of what was seen in Deadpool and Wolverine.
Maybe forever
This list wouldn’t be complete without one of the most unique moments in modern cinema. In 2019, Netflix released a romantic comedy. Maybe foreverstarring Ali Wong and Randall Park, the actors bring to life a couple who are destined to be together, despite all the crazy obstacles around them.
Among the many incredible situations, Wong’s hero has a date with himself. Keanu Reeveswho plays the lead role in one of the funniest scenes of the film.
