Marvel Studios has launched the marketing for the next MCU blockbuster with the release of the Deadpool 3 trailer during the Super Bowl on Sunday, and the official title is revealed to be Deadpool & Wolverine. The R-rated film's green-band two-minute and twenty-five-second teaser reunites the Merc with a Mouth/ Wade Wilson (Ryan Reynolds) and the adamantium clawed Wolverine (Hugh Jackman) for the first time since 2009's non-canon X-Men Origins: Wolverine.
You can watch the Deadpool & Wolverine trailer from Ryan Reynolds' official YouTube channel below:
The Deadpool & Wolverine trailer reveals that the Time Variance Authority from Loki Disney+ series will be involved before showing us a lot of action-packed and hilarious footages of Deadpool fighting, and it concludes with a shadow of Wolverine standing over him, but we don't get to fully see Jackman in his iconic yellow costume this time. It's likely that we'll see more of Logan in the next trailers.
The third Deadpool movie reunites director Shawn Levy with Jackman (Real Steel) and Reynolds (The Adam Project, Free Guy). The first R-rated Marvel Cinematic Studios movie is also a reunion for Jackman and Marvel Studios president and producer Kevin Feige, whose first producing credit was the X-Men movie (2000).
Joining Reynolds and Jackman, the cast includes returning actors from previous Deadpool movies Morena Baccarin as Vanessa, Stefan Kapičić as Colossus, Brianna Hildebrand as Negasonic Teenage Warhead, Karan Soni as Dopinder, Leslie Uggams as Blind Al, Rob Delaney as Peter. Succession star Matthew Macfayden and The Crown's Emma Corrin are also starring in the movie.
Speaking to Wired, Levy talked about how the Deadpool & Wolverine is the first MCU movie to get the R-rating:
Not only have Kevin Feige and Marvel and Disney supported this extremely Deadpool-ian, audacious, R-rated tone, they've also supported our super meta, self-referential self-awareness.Some of the jokes are dirty, some of them are cultural observations, but that's what we love about Deadpool, that he knows he's in a movie, even though the stakes are real. Our movie is very loyal to that DNA too, with tremendous Marvel and Disney support, in making fun of and being self-aware about everything, including themselves.
Directed by Levy from a script co-written by Reynolds, Deadpool and Deadpool 2 writers Paul Wernick & Rhett Reese and Zeb Wells (The Marvels), Deadpool 3 is set to release in theaters on July 26, 2024.
