Back at Super Bowl LVIII, comic and comedy fans were treated to a teaser trailer for the highly anticipated movie marriage between Deadpool & Wolverine. Now, with the movie release still several weeks away, speculation is running wild as to what to expect from two of cinema’s most recognisable icons. Here’s what we know so far.
It’s been a long wait for Deadpool fans as a number of stops and starts have delayed the antiheroes return to the big screen. While a third instalment of the series was being developed as far back as 2016, Disney’s acquisition of 20th Century Fox and the subsequent transferring of the characters rights to Marvel studios meant that a new direction was eventually formulated. The new premise was to integrate Deadpool with the Marvel Cinematic Universe, and to that end, a new plot involving Wolverine came to pass. Fans will be excited to learn that both Ryan Reynolds and Hugh Jackman are not only returning to their beloved roles, but they are also thought to have been instrumental in contributing to the script.

The two will be forced to co-exit however, if they are to complete what could be their most important mission yet.
