The famous antihero Deadpool is back to complete the trilogy for Marvel. If i’m honest, one of my favourite superheroes or characters from the marvel universe, is undeniably without a doubt Deadpool. No matter who your favourite superhero is, we can all agree that you and me both are excited for the upcoming Deadpool movie.
The raunchy comedy always gets me going, especially if I had a few libations while watching. I’m also a big fan of the way that Deadpool’s character breaks the fourth wall and talks to the camera. I don’t know about you but it makes me feel like I’m a part of the movie. The film will finally make its debut in July, after first being teased in September and November of 2023, until it was pushed back due to the writers and actors strike.
In the first movie, we saw the character development of Wade Wilson and how he came to be the inevitable and invincible Deadpool. The second movie he was a part of the X-Men, and when worlds collide in Marvel, it gets me going! If you didn’t know, they actually filmed the first two movies down here in Ryan Reynolds hometown Vancouver, but sadly they won’t be returning to Vancouver to film, but instead they will be filming on the other side of Canada, down in Toronto.
Now let’s take a deep dive into what we know about the upcoming movie. The second trailer came out this morning on April 22nd, with the first showcase of the movie happening on the biggest stage of them all, the Super Bowl. The first trailer that came out, had shattered records. In the first 24 hours, the trailer had already surpassed 365 million views which was even more than anticipated Spider-Man: No Way Home. The highly awaited MCU movie plans to hit the cinemas in July and I don’t know about you but I’ll be in the cinemas on opening day with my $20 bucket of popcorn and my $10 fountain drink.
This Deadpool film will be unlike any other, as he will be partnered up with co-star Hugh Jackman who will play his iconic Wolverine. There isn’t too much information that we have about his role, but after watching the trailer a couple times, i’ve put together the idea that Wolverine is washed up and Deadpool needs him, but is Wolverine willing to help is the question. Deadpool looks to become the ‘hero among heroes’ with the trailer teasing that Deadpool needs Wolverine’s help, as he already destroyed the world just like he needs to. We know that there’ll be multiversual antics between the two, but we will have to wait and see. Jackman isn’t the only big face making its debut in the Deadpool franchise, but actress Emma Corrin will be in the film as well, playing the debut of the X-Men villain, Cassandra Nova.
In the second movie, we were introduced to many heroes apart from the X-Men and I’ve got good news! If you enjoyed their part in the movie, then don’t get too excited but Negasonic Teenage Warhead, Shatter, Yukio, and Peter all make their return alongside Stefan Kapičić is back in his role as Colossus. Sadly, Zazie Beetz who played Domino, announced that she will not be back for the third movie. If you were a fan of the loveable girlfriend of Deadpool who had slipped her way out of death, then rejoice because Morena Baccarin will return to the trilogy film as Vanessa. Fans hope to see more of her in this year’s movie as they felt like she was being shorted of screen time.
“I can understand that people felt that way and I certainly was disappointed that I didn’t have more to do, because I just loved the part so much, But in watching the film and reading the script, it felt like such an emotionally pivotal role in the film and the entire arc of his character in the film is set into motion because of what happens to my character.” said Baccarin.
Josh Brolin is still unconfirmed as the actor for Cable but what we do know is the fact that Vinnie Jones will not be making his return as the famous Juggernaut. In one major announcement, Marvel came out with information that two certain actors will make their return for the trilogy. That being, Leslie Uggams will return as Blind al as we also saw in the trailer as she’s back with her funny antics and quotes, and Dopinder is also back, being played by Karan Soni who will now complete the hat trick by being in all three of the Deadpool movies.
When talking about the movie, director Shawn Levy said that this isn’t Deadpool 3 in any way but something totally different. “It’s the third Deadpool movie, but it’s not Deadpool 3. It’s a different thing that’s very much Deadpool and Wolverine, And it’s not trying to copy-cat anything from the first two movies. They were awesome, but this is a two-hander character adventure.” said Levy. There was a very slight easter egg involved in the trailer, as at one point we see a destroyed 20th Century Fox logo destroyed and broken, buried in the snow.
Back in October of 2022, Jackman had said “I’ll probably have more fun on this movie than any other I’ve ever done.” That’s pretty huge coming from Jackman who is a renowned actor who has been in plenty of films. Now talking about the trailer, we see that Deadpool and Wolverine somewhat relate as they both sit at the bar drinking but there is one difference made from that scene. Deadpool has gained and holds the respect and love from those around them, but Wolverine on the other hand, does not have any respect, even in his own universe. We got this intel as the bartender reminds Wolverine that he is not welcome here or sadly even anywhere in his universe.

One of the biggest events that occurred in the movie, was right at the very end where we see Wolverine and Deadpool take a huge jump into the magical portal. Does this mean a sorcerer from the MCU universe will be involved in the film? This could be a little insight that we might see Dr. Strange or even Wong, but it is unlikely so who knows, we may be introduced to a whole new sorcerer.
Cassandra Nova will be making her villain debut and we are all excited to see. During the trailer we get a glimpse of her home base and it was pretty recognizable as it was a huge Ant-Man mask. This just proves what kind of villain she is, as she walks out of a decomposed, former helmet of an Avenger, Ant-Man.

As the months begin to count down and the week turns to days, we will soon be watching the much anticipated and be licking our lips at the Deadpool & Wolverine movie. Like I said earlier, Deadpool is one of my favourites in the MCU and there is nothing stopping me or getting in my way from not enjoying this movie. Both the last Deadpool movies were immaculate and hit all the right spots, from action to comedy to drama, it had it all. And now we get to see that once again but this time accompanied by the decorated Wolverine.
