The debut trailer for Deadpool 3 made its splashy entrance during Super Bowl LVII, but not without a tweak to its racier content.
Officially dubbed Deadpool & Wolverine, the trailer packs in its signature irreverence, including a particularly inappropriate line that got some adjustments for international audiences.
When Wade Wilson gets targeted by the TVA, his response to their batons is a quip about his familiarity with unconventional activities, humorously noting, “Pegging isn’t new for me, friendo, but it is for Disney.”

This nod to a previous Deadpool moment serves as a reassurance to fans concerned about the character’s tone under Disney’s stewardship. The international version swaps out the term ‘pegging’ for ‘R-Rating,’ making it more universally acceptable.
The trailer kicks off with a kidnapping orchestrated by Matthew Macfayden’s character, who operates under the TVA umbrella (yes, the one from Loki), before diving into a frenzy of action, violence, and Deadpool’s trademark snark. Wolverine makes a cameo, adding to the chaos by stabbing Deadpool in the chest.
Marvel enthusiasts will delight in spotting Easter eggs and a hint at an upcoming Avengers installment peppered throughout the trailer.
Deadpool & Wolverine hits UK theaters on July 25 and US theaters on July 26, marking its entry into Marvel’s Phase 5. For those eager to dive deeper into the MCU, a slew of upcoming Marvel movies and shows await, alongside guides on how to watch the Marvel movies in chronological order.
