Marvel has released a new Deadpool & Wolverine trailer — and it’s as over-the-top with swear words and claw-filled action as you'd expect.
The trailer finally fully reveals Hugh Jackman reprising his iconic role as Wolverine, this time wearing the fan-favourite yellow and blue costume made famous by the character's design from the X-Men comics. There's plenty of set-up here, with Ryan Reynolds' Deadpool asking a washed-up Wolverine for help. It appears that in this reality, Wolverine has failed spectacularly in some catastrophic way (the X-Men are dead!) and needs a bit of encouragement before going all-in on Deadpool's mission.
At various points we see Deadpool and Wolverine fighting each other before working together to fight common enemies, including Cassandra Nova, the evil twin sister of X-Men leader Charles Xavier, aka Professor X. It's unclear exactly why Cassandra Nova is the big bad here, but, curiously, we see Ant-Man's head as the entrance to a villainous base of operations.
We also see Deadpool and Wolverine leap through a portal that looks a lot like the kind Doctor Strange conjures up in the MCU. The trailer ends with Deadpool and Blind Al (Leslie Uggams) having a chat about drugs, with Marvel Studios president Kevin Feige namechecked in typical fourth wall-breaking fashion. Check out IGN's round-up of fan theories and speculation about the Deadpool & Wolverine trailer for more insight.
We also got a new poster along with the trailer, which you can see below.

This new trailer for Deadpool & Wolverine, due out July 26, 2024, follows the first one we got during this year's Super Bowl. That trailer was so big it became the most-viewed trailer of all time within 24 hours.
Check out our reaction to the nine minutes of footage of Deadpool & Wolverine we saw at CinemaCon, including Deadpool saying, "Suck it Fox, we're going to Disneyland!' Oh, and despite being the third Deadpool film, the highly anticipated Deadpool & Wolverine is not Deadpool 3, director Shawn Levy has insisted.
