‘Deadpool & Wolverine’ Marks Marvel’s Solo Theatrical Release this Year
Marvel Studios raised the curtains on an aspect of their most anticipated film of the year, ‘Deadpool & Wolverine,’ at this year’s edition of CinemaCon. The superhero film, featuring Ryan Reynolds and Hugh Jackman as the title characters, stands alone as the studio’s only big-screen project set for release this year. The film is expected to revisit many returning familiar faces from past Marvel franchises.
Director Shawn Levy, along with Marvel Studios President Kevin Feige, presented nearly 10-minutes of footage from the upcoming film during the annual cinema event. The clip unveiled surprising revelations, including the appearance of an original Avenger.
A Familiar Asgardian Joins Deadpool & Wolverine
It has been revealed that the long-standing Avenger not saying goodbye to the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) just yet is none other than Chris Hemsworth’s Thor. Since the conclusion of ‘Avengers: Endgame,’ several major Avengers – Iron Man (Robert Downey Jr.), Captain America (Chris Evans), and Black Widow (Scarlett Johansson) – have left the MCU. Hemsworth’s Thor, however, is set for a return, appearing in a cameo in the CinemaCon footage for ‘Deadpool & Wolverine.’
Hemsworth is no stranger to the MCU, having made his debut as the Asgardian warrior in ‘Thor’ (2011) and making several appearances in various films within the franchise since then. His latest stint was in ‘Thor: Love and Thunder’ (2022).
Thor, Deadpool and the Secret Wars
The CinemaCon footage of the upcoming film shows a visibly emotional Thor mourning over an injured and nearly dead Deadpool, eliciting curiosity about the plot and timeline. Speculation suggests that the scene could belong to the ‘Avengers: Secret Wars’ timeline, which would see Deadpool and Thor joining forces against a massive multiverse enemy. If this ‘BattleWorld’ storyline is included in the film indeed, it makes it probable for heroes from various universes to unite against a common foe.
Marvel Debuts Mutants and More in Deadpool & Wolverine
‘Deadpool & Wolverine’ stands out as Marvel’s first official exploration into the realm of mutants. Thanks to Disney’s acquisition of 20th Century Fox, Marvel can now integrate X-Men characters into their MCU canon. Jennifer Garner and Aaron Sanford are set to reprise their roles as Elektra and Pyro, respectively, from previous films, with Hugh Jackman also on board.
The film is also expected to bring back ‘X-Men’ characters like Sabertooth and Toad, along with other notable characters like Professor X (Patrick Stewart), Magneto (Ian McKellen), Storm (Halle Berry), Cyclops (James Marsden), and Beast (Nicholas Hoult). Rumors are also swirling about a potential appearance by Taylor Swift playing mutant Dazzler, but there’s no official confirmation yet.
‘Deadpool & Wolverine’ promises much fanfare with its ensemble cast and an exciting plot. The film, undoubtedly one of the most anticipated this year, is scheduled to hit theaters on July 26.
