The Marvel Cinematic Universe’s newest frenemies are coming together this July. Deadpool & Wolverine reunites Ryan Reynolds and Hugh Jackman together for the first time in 15 years, as they last shared the screen in 2009’s critically-panned X-Men Origins: Wolverine. While that film featured watered-down versions of Wade and Logan, both mutants are set to be unleashed in their full R-Rated glory in this team up. As evident by early trailers, Deadpool and Wolverine getting on the same page will take some time, as distrust towards the Time Variance Authority as well as the metal-clawed mutant’s overall distaste for his newfound friend may necessitate some fisticuffs first.

Deadpool and Wolverine Battle in New Poster
This summer’s greatest showdown has its official poster.
In celebration of tickets going on sale, Marvel Studios has unveiled a new poster for Deadpool & Wolverine. The frame showcases Ryan Reynolds and Hugh Jackman in their respective characters’ comic-accurate suits on a white backdrop. Wolverine has his claws aimed at Deadpool’s chest while Deadpool has two pistols lining up Wolverine’s already-tattered threads, suggesting this still is pulled from the duo’s battle in The Void from the early trailers.
You can check out the full poster below…
“From the moment I put it on here, I was like, ‘How did we never do this?’ It looked so right,” Jackman said of donning the yellow suit for the first time. “It felt so right. I was like, ‘That’s him.’ There are different sides of Wolverine we haven’t seen before in the movies. It was exciting for me.”
