DEADPOOL & WOLVERINE Trailer: Ryan Reynolds Brings Hugh Jackman Jack Into The Fray For The Next MCU Chapter
I feel like the early photo leaks ruined things a bit for Shawn Levy’s Deadpool & Wolverine. This is especially given the excitement surrounding actor Hugh Jackman’s long-awaited debut of franchise “Wolverine” donning the iconic yellow and blue hero outfit. Nonetheless, it was only a matter of time before the studio decided to reveal an official look at both Jackman and franchise main Hugh Jackman in costume, and I’d like to think the film has plenty more to offer beyond the previous photos and its first teaser from a few months ago. The official trailer now running online seems to hint at this aplenty, exploring Jackman’s return to the character long after the fatal recapituation seen in Logan. I suspect some handy surprises are abound. July 26 is the date from 20th Century Studios, so enjoy the NSFW trailer footage below ripe with nostalgic flashbacks, R-rated jabs and claws to […]
