As the premiere of Deadpool & Wolverine draws near, fans are eagerly consuming teasers and sneak peeks of the highly anticipated movie. A recent trailer has caught the attention of many by subtly referencing another Marvel blockbuster.
Deadpool & Wolverine has become a focal point of excitement this year. With the release date approaching, fans are eagerly awaiting every tidbit and preview released. In the most recent trailer, a sharp-eyed fan noticed an interesting connection between the upcoming film and a beloved Marvel classic.
Deadpool & Wolverine is known for its abundance of references. Following the unveiling of a new trailer, a Twitter user going by Multiverso Marvel (@multiversombr) pointed out a striking similarity in a fight scene involving the two superheroes. The scene where Wolverine attacks Deadpool, who skillfully dodges each blow, resonates with a moment from the 2002 Spider-Man movie, where Peter Parker evades the attacks of his adversary, Flash Thompson.
This subtle detail might slip past many viewers who aren't paying close attention, with only a handful catching it. While there's no confirmed link between the superhero duo and Spider-Man, it adds an element of amusement and curiosity to the scene. Moreover, the trailer cleverly weaves in references to the backstories of both heroes, nods to the broader Marvel universe, mentions of other Marvel characters, and even hints at elements beyond the franchise.
The movie will pick up from the Deadpool franchise's timeline, following Ryan Reynolds' portrayal of Wade Wilson as he enters the MCU. In his third MCU appearance, Deadpool will join forces with Wolverine, played by Hugh Jackman. This film is poised to play a pivotal role in the MCU's Multiverse Saga, as Deadpool navigates across dimensions, transitioning from Fox's X-Men franchise timeline to various settings previously explored in MCU content. Consequently, Deadpool & Wolverine stands out as one of the most anticipated future releases in the MCU. The movie is anticipated to feature numerous cameos, though not all have been officially confirmed. Among the confirmed appearances are Vanessa Carlysle (portrayed by Morena Baccarin), Elektra (Jennifer Garner), Colossus (Stefan Kapicic), Negasonic Teenage Warhead (Brianna Hildebrand), Yukio (Shioli Kutsuna), as well as Blind Al (Leslie Uggams) and Dopinder (Karan Soni). Additionally, the film will introduce two new characters: Cassandra Nova (Emma Corrin) and Paradox (Matthew Macfadyen).
Deadpool & Wolverine is slated for a theatrical release on July 26, 2024.
