This is a callback to a similar line said by Loki (Tom Hiddleston) in “The Avengers” just before Hulk beat him up. In the movie, Loki says, “I am a god, you dull creature, and I will not be bullied by—.”
The Bond-esque Wolverine variant wearing a white suit and eye patch is another nod to the comics.

In the comics, Wolverine dons a similar look and assumes the alias Patch when he goes to Madripoor.

Reynolds plays a Deadpool variant with long hair named Nicepool. In the credits, someone named Gordon Reynolds is listed as playing the character. That’s not another Reynolds relative; that’s just one of the actor’s aliases.
Reynolds previously used the pseudonym Champ Nightingale for double roles in the film “Fast & Furious Presents: Hobbs & Shaw,” and to post a fake Amazon review for his gin brand.

Chan died in April at 56 years old. His cause of death wasn’t disclosed.
“This film is dedicated to the memory of Raymond Chan,” the statement in the film’s credits reads. “Ray was our anchor being. His contribution to the film and so many others was a gift which was never taken for granted and will never be forgotten. We’ll miss you, Ray.”
The credits shout out Len Wein for his “significant contribution to the X-Men.”

“Deadpool & Wolverine” credits four people with creating Wolverine: Len Wein, John Romita Sr., Herb Trimpe, and Roy Thomas.
Wein also gets another acknowledgment in the credits, with a line that reads: “The producers would like to recognize Len Wein for his significant contribution to the X-Men.”
This might be in response to a controversy that emerged in April, in which Christine Valada, Wein’s widow, criticized former Marvel editor in chief Roy Thomas for being credited as a Wolverine co-creator. Typically, comic book writers and artists are given creator credit, not an editor.
Wein, who died in 2017, was best known for co-creating Wolverine and the DC Comics character Swamp Thing. He also co-created the X-Men characters Nightcrawler, Storm, and Colossus.
