In the latest Deadpool and Wolverine films, fans are treated to a variety of Deadpool variants, including Kidpool, Cowboy Pool, and Lady Deadpool. However, one particular variant has captured the most attention. This variant draws inspiration from Hugh Jackman’s role as P.T. Barnum in The Greatest Showman. The character’s appearance features elements reminiscent of Barnum’s look, such as a top hat, gold waistcoat, and a lion-wrangling lasso, a nod to the musical’s opening number.
Social media users have been quick to notice and celebrate this unique Deadpool variant. A tweet from August 4, 2024, highlighted this connection with the caption “ily The Greatest Showman Deadpool,” sparking a wave of enthusiastic reactions. One user expressed surprise and excitement, while others humorously wished for an extended cut where this variant could sing the movie’s intro, referencing Jackman’s musical prowess.
Another user pointed out a missed opportunity in not casting Hugh Jackman as this “Greatest Showman Deadpool” variant, with Ryan Reynolds playing Wolverine in that universe. This suggestion underscores the playful and imaginative engagement of fans with the film’s multiverse concept and its potential for creative crossover scenarios.
Directed by Shawn Levy, known for his work on Stranger Things, Deadpool and Wolverine marks a significant moment for the franchise as Deadpool joins the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU). The film features Deadpool teaming up with Wolverine to save everything he cares about, leading to a complex adventure involving time travel and a telepathic antagonist named Cassandra Nova.
The movie is currently in theaters, offering fans a new chapter in the Marvel universe. For additional information on upcoming Marvel films and how to watch them in chronological order, interested viewers can check out the latest Marvel updates and guides available.
