As fans eagerly awaited the release of the first trailer for Deadpool 3, the Internet exploded with excitement when it was revealed that the film would be titled Deadpool & Wolverine. However, amidst all the buzz, Hugh Jackman had a little fun with the name and shared his own humorous version on social media. The beloved actor, known for his portrayal of Wolverine, declared the 'fixed' name of the movie to be 'Wolverine & Asshole.'
Both Jackman and Ryan Reynolds, who plays Deadpool, shared a new poster for the film featuring a half-heart necklace with one side representing Deadpool and the other side representing Wolverine. The tagline 'Come Together' added to the anticipation. However, the two actors had their own unique comments to accompany the poster.
Reynolds seized the opportunity to make a clever jab at the recent controversy surrounding the popcorn bucket design for Dune: Part Two. He humorously referenced the adult nature of the popcorn container in his post. Jackman, on the other hand, focused on the wording on the necklace, which read 'Best Friends' across the two halves. Not one to conform, he seemed to disagree with that sentiment.
In case you missed it, the epic new trailer for Deadpool & Wolverine was unveiled. It provided a glimpse into the film's main premise. As Wade Wilson, aka Deadpool, tries to settle into a normal life, he is unexpectedly pulled back into action. The catalyst for this upheaval is revealed to be the Time Variance Authority, a familiar institution from Marvel's Loki series. This organization deals with variant versions of MCU characters that deviate from their planned timelines.
The trailer shows Wade being uprooted from his ordinary existence and offered the chance to suit up once again as Deadpool to save the universe, specifically the Marvel Cinematic Universe. To do so, he embarks on a journey across the multiverse, encountering different iterations of familiar characters, and eventually crossing paths with Wolverine.
While the trailer provided a thrilling taste of what's to come, it wisely held back on revealing many of the movie's rumored cameos. This approach is a welcome change, as recent MCU films have been criticized for divulging too much in their trailers. As fans meticulously analyze every frame for hidden details, we can expect more tantalizing hints in the months leading up to the film's release.
Mark your calendars, because Deadpool & Wolverine is set to hit theaters on July 26, 2024. Until then, let the speculation and excitement continue to build as we eagerly await the duo's highly anticipated on-screen reunion.
