Marvel drops first trailer for Deadpool 3, "Deadpool & Wolverine," featuring Ryan Reynolds and Hugh Jackman. MCU tie-in promises game-changing crossover (Marvel)
Marvel Studios has dropped the highly-anticipated first trailer for Deadpool 3 during the 2024 Super Bowl, marking the only Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) movie slated for release this year. Titled "Deadpool & Wolverine," the film brings together Ryan Reynolds as the irreverent Wade Wilson and Hugh Jackman reprising his role as Wolverine. Directed by Shawn Levy, the movie is co-written by Reynolds along with Rhett Reese, Paul Wernick, and Zeb Wells.
The trailer's release comes after weeks of speculation and amidst excitement following numerous set photos. In a surprising move, the film introduces a significant tie-in with the MCU, as Deadpool finds himself crossing paths with the Time Variance Authority (TVA) from the hit series Loki. While the familiar faces from Loki are absent, Matthew Macfadyen's character, known as Paradox, emerges as a pivotal figure, offering Deadpool the chance to align himself with the Avengers.
This crossover signals a significant shift, hinting at the integration of the Fox-Marvel universe into the MCU. Deadpool's eagerness to join the ranks of the Avengers is evident, with Wade humorously dubbing himself the "Marvel Jesus." However, the trailer leaves audiences speculating about Wolverine's return and the fate of the Fox-Marvel universe.
Despite being labeled a teaser, the trailer offers a tantalizing glimpse into the upcoming film, promising a summer release. Fans can expect more surprises as the marketing campaign unfolds, setting the stage for what could be a game-changing addition to the MCU. As anticipation builds, "Deadpool & Wolverine" seems poised to make a significant impact on the cinematic landscape.
