New Deadpool & Wolverine Trailer Teased With Official Poster, Ryan Reynolds Video

Logan has clawed his way back from the grave. Marvel Studios and Ryan Reynolds unsheathed a new look at Deadpool & Wolverine with the official poster, plus a sepia-toned video teasing a Monday trailer drop. “Eventually, you’re gonna hang up the claws, and it’s gonna make a lot of people very sad,” Reynolds’ Wade Wilson tells Hugh Jackman’s Wolverine over footage from X-Men Origins: Wolverine, The Wolverine, and Logan. “But one day, your old pal Wade’s gonna ask you to get back in the saddle again. And when he does, say ‘yes.’” 

“I’ve always wanted to ride with you, Log,” the Merc With a Mouth adds as Wolverine, wearing his classic blue and yellow costume, steps into frame. Watch the Deadpool & Wolverine trailer announcement and see the one sheet below. 

The long-awaited Deadpool sequel marks Jackman’s return to his iconic X-Men role for the first time since 2017’s Logan, which ended with the metal-clawed mutant — suffering from adamantium poisoning and a failing mutant healing factor — succumbing to his wounds and dying after saving his daughter, Laura/X-23 (Dafne Keen).

“It’s been fun,” Reynolds told ET Canadalast year of coaxing Jackman out of superhero retirement.”He and I areboth really excited. We’ve wanted to do this for a decade. So, to havethis opportunity now is, I think actually weirdly, the perfect time… Inever stopped [trying to recruit Jackman]. I was just pestering himlike a gnat over the last many years.”

“I believe in timing, asmuch as hard work and luck and all those intersections that are supposedto meet, timing is a big one as well, and I think he was ready,”Reynolds added. “I think he was excited and what we pitched him wasenough of a divergence from the character that he knows and thecharacter that he’s left behind, that it gives him something completelynew to play and something that he’s really excited to do.”

Jackman was adamant that his days as Wolverine were over with his swan song Logan, but the actor regretted exiting the X-Verse just after Reynolds revivified it with 2016’s R-rated Deadpool.

“I was 20 minutes into watching Deadpool and I had just announced, literally, a few weeks before that, that Logan wasgoing to be my last, which I fully intended. And then I was like,’Uh-oh.’… And it came to me like, ‘I really want to do that.’ And thatwas it,” Jackman explained in a 2022 interview.”I rang Ryan just to see what the hell was going on. And then here weare. It was so quick. And trust me, there’s not a morning I don’t wakeup where Ryan Reynolds isn’t outside my house with posters saying,’Please.’ He’s constantly asking me about it. And I was like, ‘Dude, I’mdone. I’m done, I’m done, I’m done, I’m done, I’m done.’ So then whenhe rang me [back], he was like, ‘Are you serious?’”

He continued: “I’m a terrible poker player. All this time I was saying Iwas done, I really meant it. But anyway, somewhere deep down, this ideawas obviously lurking and brewing.”
