Deadpool is gearing up for his MCU debut, and the latest look at the threequel gave us more of what we really want: Wolverine. Nine minutes of Deadpool & Wolverine was shown during Disneyās CinemaCon 2024 presentation on Thursday, which also included the first trailer for Marvelās Captain America: Brave New World (slick, small-ish spy movie) and an update on Thunderbolts*, which now has an asterisks in the title. But on to Deadpool 3.
The extended first look starts with Wade Wilson selling used cars with is usual vulgarity, all while claiming that heās officially done with superhero work. But despite his seemingly ordinary life, Wade canāt help but feel that someoneās watching him, which leads directly to to the birthday party that starts the movieās first trailer. After a few zingers, an awkward romantic reunion, and an extended bit about cocaine, Wade gets abducted by the Time Variance Association, seemingly kicking off the movieās main plot.
To introduce that mission at hand, Matthew Macfadyenās agent shows up to explain what the TVA does, and that for some reason, Deadpool is very necessary to saving the future (and helping anyone who missed Loki play catch-up). In fact, Macfadyen says, it might be necessary for him to avenge something, at some point. While explaining this, Wade gets a glimpse of possible futures for the sacred timeline, including Thor crying over Wadeās dead body. After this explanation, Wade takes a second to grab the camera and yell āsuck it Fox Iām going to Disneyland!ā Then he suits up in a new and improved costume. So there was any question whether Disney would sand the edges off the Merc with the Mouth, fear not, at least in the beginning this is still the same old Deadpool.
After all that, CinemaCon audiences were shown a scene in which Deadpool and Wolverine are in the car together. Wade makes fun of Loganās yellow suit and asks if Fox made him wear it, before the whole thing cuts to black.
Introducing the clip on stage during CinemaCon, Marvel Studioās president Kevin Feige called the movie āfucking awesome,ā three times over, which he said heās allowed to say since the movieās officially rated R ā- a first for Disneyās Marvel movies.
Deadpool & Wolverine is directed by Shawn Levy and co-written by Levy, Ryan Reynolds, Rhett Reese, Paul Wernick, and Zeb Wells. Alongside Hugh Jackman and Reynolds, the new movie will also feature Matthew MacFadyen (Succession) and Emma Corrin (The Crown), as well as plenty of returning faces to the series like Morena Baccarin, Karan Soni, and Leslie Uggams.
Donāt expect the clip to appear online, but good news: CinemaCon broke the first look on Jackman in his costume days prior ā courtesy of a soda cup. So who really needs a new trailer?
Deadpool & Wolverine is set for release on July 26.
