Ryan Reynolds and Hugh Jackman are gearing up for the highly anticipated third installment of the Deadpool franchise, with ‘Deadpool & Wolverine’ set to hit the screens. The release of the final trailer for this superhero action-thriller has revealed numerous references to the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU), hinting at connections with the X-Men and Avengers. Here’s a preview of what to expect from this upcoming MCU action-saga.
Sabretooth vs Wolverine
Tyler Wane returns as Sabertooth from X-Men in ‘Deadpool & Wolverine.’ The trailer reveals an intense showdown between the two old adversaries. Sabertooth, a psychopathic mutant with heightened senses, razor-sharp claws, superhuman strength and reflexes, and regenerative healing powers, previously battled Wolverine while trying to transform humans into mutants.
Logan’s daughter comes back
Dafne Keen returns as Laura/X-23, Wolverine’s daughter, from “Logan.” In the new film, Laura engages in a profound conversation with Logan (Hugh Jackman), where she helps him understand his own value. In one of the scenes Logan says, “You have got the wrong guy.” Laura replies, “You were always the wrong guy till you weren’t.” The action-thriller is set to feature emotional scenes of Wolverine confronting his past struggles while also exploring his relationship with his biological daughter.
Spider-Man vs Deadpool
In the MCU comics, Spider-Man and Deadpool are often depicted as rivals, with Spider-Man adhering to his traditional superhero code while Deadpool follows his own unconventional methods. Despite their frequent clashes, they ultimately join forces to combat a shared adversary. In one scene, Deadpool humorously mimics Spider-Man’s web-shooting abilities, suggesting a possible future showdown between the two Marvel heroes.
Logan fights Charles Xavier’s twin sister
Emma Corrin plays Cassandra Nova, the twin sister of Charles Xavier. Cassandra, a mutant with telekinetic and telepathic abilities, attempts to manipulate Wolverine’s mind. Unlike Charles, who aims to foster harmony between mutants and humans, Cassandra serves as the antagonist against Logan and Deadpool.
Deadpool’s emotional arc
The trailer highlights Deadpool’s deep connection with his family, emphasizing his willingness to go to great lengths to protect them. In one scene, he convinces Wolverine to assist him in saving nine individuals who are crucial to him, as he cannot manage it on his own. Additionally, the trailer reflects Deadpool’s respect for Logan and the X-Men.
Lady Deadpool
The trailer also offers a brief look at Lady Deadpool, with both Logan and Deadpool appearing surprised upon seeing this new character. It remains uncertain whether she will be an adversary or an ally to the protagonists.
‘Deadpool and Wolverine’ is set to be released worldwide on July 16.
