The R-rated Deadpool & Wolverine starring Ryan Reynolds and Hugh Jackman finally has a trailer. And it’s full of Marvel Easter Eggs. Set to Madonna’s Like a Prayer, the full-length trailer offers a glimpse of what fans can expect from the buddy action comedy.
In case you missed it, here are some Easter Eggs from the Marvel comics, the MCU and beyond:
Cassandra Nova has been revealed as the villainFans have been waiting for a closer look at The Crown star Emma Corrin’s full look as Cassandra Nova and the trailer of Deadpool & Wolverine delivers. The character who is Professor Charles Xavier’s evil sister in the comics, seems to be in the Void, a wasteland where she’s leading her Brotherhood of Mutants. She is expected to be a formidable villain as she uses her powers against Wolverine.
Ant-Man’s massive skull shows upThe trailer suggests that Cassandra Nova has turned Ant-Man’s giant skull into a base of some sort from where she operates. While this Easter Egg is interesting, it doesn’t bring good news about Scott Lang’s Ant-Man. It is unclear how the helmet got there.
There is a Loki connectionThe teasers already hinted at a connection between Deadpool & Wolverine and Loki. The trailer sees the duo fighting in a vast landscape just like the Void at the End of Time we see in the Loki series. We also see Alioth. The monster was last seen in Loki Season 2.
Wolverine dons a comic-accurate sleeveless costume One of the highlights of the film is Hugh Jackman’s return to the MCU and his comic-accurate yellow costume. Now it looks like the makers will take a step further. The trailer reveals Wolverine’s sleeveless suit which is a nice touch for comic book fans.
Deadpool and Wolverine go through a sorcerer’s portalTowards the end of the trailer, Deadpool and Wolverine jump through a portal to escape the Void with Alioth on their heels. Fans will recognise this as the magic portals used by sorcerers like Doctor Strange. Who opened the portal is still an unanswered question but the possibilities are exciting.
Deadpool & Wolverine will be released on July 26, 2024.
