New “Deadpool & Wolverine” Trailer & Images Reveal Fresh Look at Lady Deadpool & More
We’re now less than ten days away from Deadpool & Wolverine, the long-awaited pairing of Ryan Reynolds’ Merc with the Mouth and Hugh Jackman’s mutant berserker. (Re-pairing, if you want to be technical about it—they appeared in character in 2009’s X-Men Origins: Wolverine, but it was a very different version of Reynolds’ Wade Wilson). Marvel has understandably been flooding the zone with promotional material (Deadpool & Wolverine is their only 2024 release), feeding the excitement that folks already have in spades to see Reynolds and Jackman yuk it up and fight it out on screen together. Marvel will also bring the film to San Diego’s Comic-Con next week, no doubt with new material to share. Ahead of the Con, we’ve now got a new trailer, which gives us a tantalizing glimpse at some of Deadpool’s variants, including Lady Deadpool (briefly shown in a previous trailer), who is revealed right up until the point that we see her face, as well as a decent amount of new footage.
The glimpse at Lady Deadpool begins at the 12-second mark, which is followed by a look at another Wade Wilson variant, Cowboy Deadpool—you’ll notice the spurs and side holster—which speaks to how Deadpool & Wolverine will make the most of the Time Variance Authority and their ability to traverse the multiverse. Matthew MacFayden’s Mr. Paradox will have a lot to do on that front, and the TVA’s time-hopping is how Wolverine is pulled into the action in the first place—this isn’t the same version of the character we saw die in James Mangold’s stellar 2017 film Logan.
The new trailer also includes some familiar faces in Yukio (Shioli Kutsuna), the Negasonic Teenage Warhead (Brianna Hildebrand), and the utterly non-superheroic yet undeniably charming Peter (Rob Delaney), who comes upon Deadpool and Wolverine in a parking lot after the dynamic duo makes a graceless entrance.
As for the new cache of photos, we’ve got fresh looks at the villain Cassandra Nova (Emma Corrin), Professor X’s very powerful, very bad twin. In the comics, Cassandra’s backstory is extremely gothic—while she and her twin, Charles Xavier, were gestating in the womb, Charles recognized her evil presence and killed her before she could do the same to him. But Cassandra’s mind lived on, and years later, she formed a new body and swore revenge on her twin brother. Her powers are immense.
We’ve also got a fun shot of Wade, sans his red suit and wearing his bad toupee, giving Peter some pep talk. Peter’s hair is all-natural, of course.
There’s little doubt that Deadpool & Wolverine is going to be a hit, and with the premiere date clawing its way toward us, we’ll also be hearing from critics soon, after their advanced screenings and the social media embargo, and eventual review embargo, are lifted. Marvel fans, as well as Reynolds and Jackman fans, are ready for action.
Deadpool & Wolverine slashes its way into theaters on July 26:
