Confession time: I still haven’t seen Deadpool 2 yet. I know that sounds wild, but I just haven’t made the time for it yet. Maybe soon? Is it weird that I am starting a lot of these out with “confessions” for things that I should have seen or read already? Probably. Anyway, the trailer for Deadpool & Wolverine looks awesome!
I’ve been interested in how they’re going to incorporate Deadpool into the Marvel Cinematic Universe, and based on this trailer it looks like they’ll be doing it through the TVA. I’ve heard the rumors that some believe this will be Marvel’s way of sending off the Fox Marvel movies similar to how Spiderman: No Way Home was the send off for the Sony Marvel movies.
(Let’s be real. You could forget the current Sony Marvel movies [Venom, Venom 2, Venom 3, Morbius, Madame Web, Kraven] don’t exist, and the world would probably be a better place for it. They are bad.)
Deadpool is obviously the perfect character to bring into the MCU at this point given the Multiverse Saga and them trying to piece everything back together into “one timeline” while acknowledging that past projects, even ones that weren’t made by Disney, still matter. Everyone out there loved SOMETHING. Even if it was Elektra. Or Wolverine: Origins. Or X-Men: The Last Stand. You get the point.
I’m excited for the movie. I think it looks good from the brief glimpses that we got in the trailer. I loved Loki seasons 1 and 2, so building upon the TVA that Loki re-established at the end of the show is a great idea. Let’s go!
Here’s the trailer. Enjoy!
