The second trailer for Deadpool and Wolverine showcases Marvel’s favorite frenemies in action. This third installment in the Deadpool series takes place in the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) for the first time. The trailer features Deadpool and Wolverine in intense combat set to the iconic tune of Madonna’s “Like a Prayer.”
Deadpool opens the trailer by expressing his fear of losing everything he cares about, to which Wolverine responds, “Not my problem.” This leads to a fierce battle where Wolverine slashes Deadpool’s crotch with his claws, prompting Deadpool to retaliate with several gunshots.
Amid the chaos, the trailer includes lighter moments as the two share a meal, discussing their inner struggles. The film brings back Hugh Jackman as Wolverine and Ryan Reynolds as Deadpool. Fans last saw Wolverine in the 2017 film Logan.
Deadpool and Wolverine arrives nearly six years after Deadpool 2, bridging the gap between the end of Fox’s X-Men film series and Disney’s acquisition of 20th Century Fox. The film introduces these characters to the MCU, generating great anticipation.
The first trailer set a new record, surpassing Spider-Man: No Way Home as the most-viewed movie trailer within 24 hours, with an astounding 365 million views. The film begins with Deadpool’s journey into the MCU after his kidnapping by the Time Variance Authority, familiar from the series Loki.
Shawn Levy directs the film, which also stars Emma Corrin, Morena Baccarin, Rob Delaney, Leslie Uggams, Karan Soni, and Matthew Macfadyen. Producers for Deadpool and Wolverine include Kevin Feige, Ryan Reynolds, and Levy, with several other notable names as executive producers. The screenplay is written by Reynolds, Rhett Reese, Paul Wernick, Zeb Wells, and Levy.
Deadpool and Wolverine hits theaters on July 26.
