Marvel Studios has released a new TV spot for Deadpool & Wolverine and it finally features a decent amount of previously unseen footage from the upcoming threequel.
There's a great shot of Alioth closing in on Giant-Man's remains in The Void and a fun exchange between the Merc with the Mouth and Logan where it's made clear that the clawed mutant really isn't a fan of Wade Wilson's.
The biggest talking point is Cassandra Nova seemingly using her telekinetic powers to send Deadpool and Wolverine flying; however, upon closer inspection, it's two different scenes stitched together as she's in The Void and they're on a city street.
That begs the question of who the heroes are fighting, of course.
"My response was pretty much a yes," filmmaker Shawn Levy recently said of being offered the Deadpool & Wolverine gig. "But we had to find the right story. And that led to a really interesting chunk of months where Ryan and I, along with Paul Wernick and Rhett Reese and another writer named Zeb Wells, would come up with story ideas and have meetings a couple times a week with Kevin Feige and the team at Marvel."
"We frankly struggled to find a story that felt original and non-derivative of the other two Deadpool movies," he continued. "It had to be deserving of the first Deadpool entry into the MCU, but also feel grounded because this is an earthbound, gritty, realistic superhero franchise. We had fits and starts."
"And Ryan and I were right at the edge of saying to Kevin, 'You know what? Maybe now is not the right moment because we’re not coming up with a story.' And that is the moment when Ryan’s phone rang and it was Hugh calling from his car," Levy concluded, reflecting on the game-changing moment Jackman agreed to return as Wolverine.
