Avengers: Endgame"s Portal Scene With Deadpool & Wolverine"s "Like A Prayer" Will Make Any MCU Fan Cry
The iconic sling ring portal scene from Avengers: Endgame has been edited to include Deadpool & Wolverine's "Like a Prayer," and it's enough to bring a tear to the eye of any MCU fan. Deadpool & Wolverine's final scenes delivered an emotional gut-punch as it depicted the titular antiheroes joining hands to sacrifice themselves for the survival of the entire multiverse to the tune of a choir singing "Like a Prayer." While their sacrifice would be undone moments later by their joint efforts and healing factors, it was a tear-jerking moment that rivals some of the MCU's most emotional scenes.
X user @_dpiddy has decided to blend this sequence with the MCU's Battle of Earth, switching out the original score for the choir cover of "Like a Prayer." The post depicts the scene in which the Avengers are joined via a series of sling ring portals by almost every surviving MCU hero to battle Thanos and his army. The edit certainly adds a different kind of emotional heft to a moment that's both tear-jerking and celebratory in equal measure, though it is safe to say that the Avengers: Endgame score and Madonna's Deadpool & Wolverine input are better kept separate.

Why "Like A Prayer" Works Better For Deadpool & Wolverine Than Avengers: Endgame The Movies Strike Very Different Tones Close The choral version of Madonna's "Like a Prayer" has become a popular feature of Deadpool & Wolverine to overlay on to other emotional MCU scenes. It isn't too hard to see why, as it is specifically intended to engender intense emotions in a climactic moment – which is no doubt helped by the fact that the song is one of Madonna's most esteemed. It is, however, a pop song at its core, which is precisely why it works as part of Deadpool & Wolverine's pop-laden soundtrack, and not in a tonally distinct movie like Avengers: Endgame.
The Avengers: Endgame score was composed and conducted by Alan Silvestri, who also worked on every other Avengers movie.
While the MCU is famous for injecting levity throughout the vast majority of its productions – even those that carry the most emotional weight – the irreverence of Deadpool's franchise is in a league of its own. Deadpool & Wolverine even features "Like a Prayer" as its flagship song, with the appearance of the choral version in its final sequence being a reprise of the standard version used moments earlier in Deadpool and Wolverine's brawl with the Deadpool Corps. The reprise is therefore dramatic but still tongue-in-cheek.
While Avengers: Endgame affords brief moments of levity to the MCU's funniest heroes, it is still a much more serious movie than Deadpool & Wolverine. This is why it isn't hard to see Deadpool fitting into a wider MCU narrative down the line in upcoming MCU movies like Avengers: Secret Wars, though it is unlikely that he will bring the catchy soundtracks of his own movies with him. For now, the choir cover of "Like a Prayer" is best confined to the incredible final scene of Deadpool & Wolverine.
