*During Sunday’s Big Game, Marvel Studios released the first trailer for the highly anticipated “DEADPOOL & WOLVERINE,” starring Ryan Reynolds and Hugh Jackman.
The superhero actioner, directed by Shawn Levy, features Emma Corrin, Morena Baccarin, Rob Delaney, Leslie Uggams, Karan Soni, and Matthew Macfadyen.
Reynolds co-wrote the script and also serves as producer along with Levy, MCU boss Kevin Feige, and Lauren Shuler Donner with Louis D’Esposito, Wendy Jacobson, Mary McLaglen, Josh McLaglen, Rhett Reese, Paul Wernick, George Dewey, Simon Kinberg and Jonathon Komack Martin serving as executive producers.
“DEADPOOL & WOLVERINE” opens in U.S. & Canadian movie theaters on July 26 and will be available in IMAX, RealD 3D, Dolby Cinema, 4DX, Cinemark XD, and premium screens everywhere. Check out the new trailer via the YouTube clip above.
As comicbook.com reports, Jackman appeared in nine X-Men movies as Wolverine until he retired the role in “Logan.” Reynolds seemingly begged him to reprise the character for “Deadpool 3” (AKA “Deadpool & Wolverine”).
“There’s not a morning I don’t wake up where Ryan Reynolds is outside my house with posters saying, ‘Please.’ He was constantly asking me about it,” Jackman explained in a 2022 interview. “And I was like, ‘Dude, I’m done. I’m done, I’m done, I’m done, I’m done, I’m done.’ So then when he rang me, he was like, ‘Are you serious?’ So yeah. I’m a terrible poker player. All this time I was saying I was done, I really meant it. But anyway, somewhere deep down, this idea was obviously lurking and brewing.”
Levy confirmed that “Deadpool & Wolverine” will be rated R like the first two “Deadpool” films.
“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,” Levy told Wired in 2023 of the first R-rated movie in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. “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.”
