And trust us when we way, it's a lot bigger than anything you could've guessed or imagined. Some major characters from Marvel's past have returned in surprising ways and yes, we are still not totally over it all. So ready to find out what some surprises are in store? Or just curious who exactly is under some of those Deadpool masks?

Chris Evans as Johnny Storm

A big chunk of the movie takes place in the void that the TVA had created to take things that should've been forgotten. But true Marvel fans will never forget that before he was Captain America, Chris Evans was Johnny Storm in the 2005 Fantastic Four film. Thankfully, we got him back again in this movie.

Jennifer Garner as Elektra

Not only did we get to see Elektra back in action again, but there is actually a really funny joke that pokes fun at her Daredevil AKA Ben Affleck that you definitely don't want to miss.

While the next Blade movie is still completely up in the air, that doesn't mean that one doesn't already exist in this universe. Wesley Snipes made it back onto the big screen as the iconic vampire hunter and he might have an idea of what is going to happen to the reboot in the movie.

Channing Tatum as Gambit

No, we're not talking about the X-Men '97 Gambit (although, we absolutely are NOT over it). In the biggest surprise of them all, Channing Tatum appeared as a character that he actually never got to play due to some studio drama. And boy, was it worth the wait.

As Deadpool travels around to different timelines to find the right Wolverine to bring back to his, he is surprised to find a different kind of Wolvey. Yes, Henry Cavill is Wolverine in another universe and that is one we wouldn't mind living in.

Dafne Keen as Laura / X23

While her appearance was spoiled before the movie's big premiere, it was still a nice surprise to see Dafne back again as X23. Now older, she has a different handle on what it takes to be a Wolverine and it's clear that the tables have turned.

Yep, that's right! We finally know who is behind the Ladypool mask and turns out the internet was pretty correct on this one. While we never see her actually take off the mask, the movie's credits confirm that it's none other than Blake Lively playing Ladypool. In fact, it's a whole family affair as Inez and Olin also had parts as Kidpool and Babypool respectively.

Nathan Fillion as Headpool

Not only is Headpool one of the coolest popcorn buckets that you can grab from this movie, it's also a big cameo for none other than Nathan Fillion. It seems like he's everywhere in the Marvel universe after playing one of the Bodega Cat mascots in Marvel's Spider-Man 2 video game.

We all noticed Cowboypool when he joined in with the giant Deadpool squad. While we don't see him much, the guy under the mask is actually Matthew McConaughey which makes us wonder what alternative universe that would be like.

Paul Mullin as Welshpool

The Wrexham AFC superstar traded the soccer pitch for a set for a small cameo as Welshpool. Those kicks he makes on the field definitely came in handy for this shoot.

Okay, so like, we actually don't know which Hulk was actually on our screen cause it was a super quick moment. BUT, it's always nice to see the big old green guy. (Does this also count as a Wicked promo moment now?)

Ray Park as Toad

We see Ant-Man's suit in the void and it is HUGE! Oh, and it's also Cassandra's secret lair so this Ant-Man is clearly very dead.

This movie takes place around the TVA, so it only makes sense that we have one of its most important hunters make an appearance.
