The Wild Final “Deadpool & Wolverine” Trailer Finds Wade & Logan Deep in Their Feelings

Is Wade Wilson getting emo on us? In the final trailer for Deadpool & Wolverine, Ryan Reynolds’ notoriously childish superhero is feeling the emotions as he looks on at his new partner-in-crime, Wolverine (Hugh Jackman), and tearfully tells him, “I’ve been waiting a long time for this team-up.” Wade goes on to tell Wolverine that, regardless of what he thinks about himself in his world, in the world Wade comes from, he’s not just a highly regarded member of the X-Men; he’s the X-man. However, this isn’t quite what this particular Wolverine believes because this isn’t the same version of the character we saw die a hero in James Mangold’s stellar 2017 film Logan. In fact, his reply is as curt as possible: “Yeah, well…he ain’t sh*t in mine.”

We’re now a week away from the long-awaited team-up of 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). The final trailer includes some new footage and a major cameo from Dafne Keen’s Laura, the little girl who was molded in Wolverine’s image in Logan and who he died protecting. This reveals that Shawn Levy’s upcoming Deadpool & Wolverine will, in fact, deal directly with Logan and keep its nearly flawless narrative intact. 

This final look also includes a few glimpses at Wade’s own iterations—Lady Deadpool and Cowboy Deadpool specifically. All this time-hopping is connected to the Time Variance Authority, introduced in Loki, and embodied here by Matthew MacFayden’s Mr. Paradox.

It’s a stellar final glimpse at what will likely be one of summer’s big hits. The excitement is real and the emotions, even for notorious joker Wade Wilson, are running high.

Check out the final trailer below. Deadpool & Wolverine arrives on July 26
