The Marvel-verse never fails to surprise its fans! This time, they've rolled out a fresh short trailer for the much-awaited “Deadpool & Wolverine” that unveils a classic face from the iconic 2000 X-Men film. Can you guess who? It's Tyler Mane's Sabretooth, ready to engage in a fierce duel with none other than Wolverine himself.
Those who are fans of the original 2000 X-Men movie might remember Sabretooth, Wolverine's deadly rival, portrayed with a unique beast-like appeal by Tyler Mane. More contemporary portrayals of Sabretooth saw him less wild and more cunning as played by Liev Schreiber in “X-Men Origins: Wolverine.”
A Twisted Tale of Continuity
In the latest trailer for Deadpool & Wolverine, the ever-humorous Deadpool hints at this interesting continuity switch with one of his signature meta jokes, triggering much excitement among the fan base. As Wade, Deadpool's alter ego, quips, “People have been waiting decades for this fight.” Wise words, Wade!
The last time Wolverine crossed paths with this Sabretooth, they battled it out at the Statue of Liberty. Unfortunately for Sabretooth, he didn't survive the duel and met his end, falling after being hit by Cyclop's eye beam. Watching this original beastly version of Sabretooth return to wrestle with Wolverine is sure to give fans an adrenaline rush.
The Road to Deadpool & Wolverine
Behind the scenes, the creation of Deadpool & Wolverine had its own share of drama. Ryan Reynolds and Shawn Levy, were on the brink of shelving Deadpool 3 due to their struggle to formulate a unique story. However, the timely intervention of Hugh Jackman, known for his role as Wolverine, changed the course of events for the better.
Reynolds and Levy, alongside Paul Wernick, Rhett Reese, and Zeb Wells had put months into building a compelling script. But as they found themselves stuck in a creative rut, Jackman's call heralded the resurrection of the project. Resolving to make hay while the sun shone, Reynolds and Levy decided to leverage this golden chance and thus, Deadpool & Wolverine was conceived.
Marvel's special knack for introducing unexpected character cameos is what keeps fans on their toes. With Disney's acquisition of Fox, Marvel now has more characters within its creative grasp to play around with. This strategy has once again paid off, setting the stage for the much-awaited duel between Wolverine and the original Sabretooth, delighting both old and new fans alike.
