The debut trailer for the highly anticipated Deadpool 3 has finally arrived, and it’s every bit as outrageous as fans had hoped. However, there’s a twist – it’s not actually called Deadpool 3.
In this exciting sneak peek, we see Ryan Reynolds reprising his role as the wisecracking superhero Deadpool, alongside none other than Hugh Jackman’s Wolverine.
What starts as a seemingly innocent birthday celebration for Wade Wilson quickly takes a dark turn when he’s unexpectedly abducted, courtesy of Matthew Macfayden from Succession.
Chaos erupts, accompanied by Deadpool’s signature fourth-wall-breaking humor, a surprise appearance by the TVA from Loki, Deadpool being humorously hailed as “the Marvel Jesus,” and Wolverine getting down to business with his adamantium claws in the final moments, all before the title screen reveals the film’s official name: Deadpool & Wolverine. Needless to say, fans are ecstatic.
This installment marks Deadpool’s official entry into the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) and could potentially serve as a significant introduction for the X-Men franchise as well, although the trailer keeps details under wraps.
However, keen-eyed viewers may catch a subtle nod to Secret Wars, the title of the sixth Avengers film slated for release in 2027. As Deadpool lies on the ground just before Wolverine’s attack, a faded sticker featuring a Secret Wars comic book cover is spotted, hinting at future MCU developments.
The film boasts a returning cast that includes Morena Baccarin as Vanessa, Brianna Hildebrand as Negasonic Teenage Warhead, and Jennifer Garner reprising her role as Elektra.
Directed by Shawn Levy, known for his work on Stranger Things, Deadpool & Wolverine stands as Marvel’s sole theatrical release for the year. Despite the project being shrouded in secrecy, with filming plagued by leaks, production has successfully concluded, as indicated by Reynolds’ cheeky social media post celebrating the wrap.
Fans can mark their calendars for the theatrical release of Deadpool & Wolverine on July 26, 2024, as part of Marvel Phase 5. For those hungry for more MCU content, a slew of upcoming Marvel films and shows await, along with guides on how to navigate the expansive Marvel universe.
And Deadpool & Wolverine isn’t the only trailer making waves following the 2024 Super Bowl; other exciting previews include Twisters, Wicked, and Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes.
