Now that we have had a few days to di-sect this trailer, its about time we posted it. The merc with the mouth is BACK! This time, he now enters the Marvel Cinematic Universe, and he is bringing some friends with him.
Deadpool 3 aka Deadpool & Wolverine is the only live-action MCU movie of 2024 due to the recent strikes in Hollywood. A good reset of the MCU is due anyways because of the recent run of movies not performing very well at the box office
Now, as for what Deadpool 3 will be about, is anyone’s guess. “Your little cinematic universe is about to change forever,” Wade says in the trailer, dubbing himself “the messiah” of the Marvel Cinematic Universe. “I am… Marvel Jesus.” The action-packed footage, which features the blink-and-you’ll-miss-it return of X2: X-Men United‘s hot-headed mutant Pyro (Aaron Stanford), ends with a blue-and-yellow-suited Wolverine — seen only in shadow — unsheathing his claws with a “SNIKT!”
The third entry in the Deadpool trilogy reunites director Shawn Levy with Reynolds (Free Guy, The Adam Project) and Jackman (Real Steel). It’s also a reunion for Jackman and Marvel Studios president and producer Kevin Feige, whose first producing credit was 2000’s X-Men. Reynolds co-wrote the script with Deadpool and Deadpool 2 writers Paul Wernick & Rhett Reese, and Zeb Wells (The Marvels, Robot Chicken) & Levy.
Alongside Reynolds and Jackman, the cast includes includes returning Deadpool stars Morena Baccarin as Vanessa, Brianna Hildebrand as Negasonic Teenage Warhead, Stefan Kapičić as Colossus of the X-Men, Leslie Uggams as Blind Al, Karan Soni as Dopinder, and Rob Delaney as the unpowered Peter. Emma Corrin (The Crown) and Matthew Macfadyen (Succession) also star.
This will be the first R-Rated MCU movie for Marvel Studios. “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.” That includes meta jokes about the former Fox properties now under the Disney-Marvel banner.
Deadpool & Wolverine is due to hit cinemas on July 25th 2024
