After nearly six years, Deadpool makes a triumphant return, now entering the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) following the conclusion of Fox’s “X-Men” franchise and Disney’s acquisition. 

The Super Bowl trailer for “Deadpool and Wolverine” unveiled this highly anticipated crossover, reintroducing Ryan Reynolds’ Merc With a Mouth alongside Hugh Jackman’s Wolverine, previously seen in 2017’s “Logan.”

The trailer showcases Deadpool’s abduction by the Time Variance Authority, the multiverse overseers introduced in “Loki” Season 2, as they bring him into the MCU. 

Embracing his irreverent style, Deadpool dubs himself “Marvel Jesus,” promising to infuse Disney’s typically family-friendly brand with his trademark R-rated humour and meta commentary. Although Wolverine’s face remains unseen, his presence looms large, setting up a tantalising confrontation teased at the trailer’s end.

Production setbacks, including a four-month delay due to a SAG-AFTRA strike, have slightly altered the schedule for “Deadpool 3,” shifting its release date from May 3 to July 26. 

The franchise’s earlier instalments achieved significant box office success, with “Deadpool 2” breaking records upon its 2018 release.

Director Shawn Levy hints at an homage to “Star Wars” in “Deadpool 3,” illustrating the creative freedom and personal investment he feels within the expansive Marvel universe. 

Levy’s collaboration with Ryan Reynolds underscores their shared vision for the franchise, promising an exciting continuation for fans eagerly awaiting Deadpool’s next adventure.
