As a dedicated gamer and avid Marvel fan, I was deeply moved by the emotional tribute to Ray Chan at the end of Deadpool & Wolverine. Having followed the development of the MCU over the years, I’ve come to appreciate the unsung heroes behind the scenes who contribute significantly to the final product we all enjoy.
Fans are intrigued by the appearance of the name Ray Chan in the credits of “Deadpool & Wolverine.” Towards the end of the movie, Chan received an emotional tribute, leaving viewers wondering about his connection to the production. Marvel is renowned for acknowledging individuals who have impacted their successful superhero film series, regardless of their role’s size. However, we’re left pondering: Who is Ray Chan, and what was his reason for being included in the credits?
Here are all the available details regarding the aforementioned tribute.
Who is Ray Chan from Deadpool & Wolverine?
Ray Chan played a significant role at Marvel Studios, serving as the Supervising Art Director on numerous Marvel Cinematic Universe productions.
Although Chan may not be widely recognized, he played a significant role in maintaining the high caliber of Marvel Cinematic Universe films. He began collaborating with Marvel in 2013 as the art director for Thor: The Dark World. Later, Chan was responsible for overseeing the art direction in several other MCU productions, such as Guardians of the Galaxy, Avengers: Age of Ultron, Doctor Strange, Avengers: Infinity War, and Avengers: Endgame.
In the aftermath of Endgame, Chan was awarded a well-earned promotion, becoming the new art director for the Marvel productions. He served in this role for numerous films, with Deadpool and Wolverine marking his last projects for Marvel.
Why was Deadpool & Wolverine dedicated to him?
At the conclusion of Deadpool & Wolverine, Ray Chan was posthumously recognized for his contributions despite tragically passing away in April 2024 at the age of 56. This unfortunate event occurred near his residence in Wales earlier in the year.
To show our deep appreciation for his exceptional contributions, Marvel added a heartfelt message in the credits of Deadpool 3.
“In memory of Raymond Chan, this film is lovingly devoted. Ray served as our steadfast foundation, enriching this production and countless others with his invaluable talents. His legacy, a cherished gift, continues to inspire us deeply. You will be sorely missed, Ray.”
After Ryan Reynolds, who is known for portraying Deadpool and Wolverine, passed away (R.I.P.), Reynolds expressed his condolences on social media for Ray Chan. In his post, Reynolds acknowledged Chan’s invaluable impact on the filmmaking process through his art direction.
We are left speechless in the face of this profound loss.
Ray Chan’s immeasurable well of ability, resilience, and artistry is gone.
As a Production Designer, he was an indispensable creative element behind Deadpool and Wolverine. His contributions were on par with the writers, director, and leading actors.
