‘Deadpool and Wolverine’ trailer features Reynolds, Jackman

-

After a 30-second Super Bowl teaser sent Marvel fans into a frenzy, the full trailer for “Deadpool and Wolverine” dropped this week, featuring all the hallmarks of a “Deadpool” movie: extravagan­t fight scenes, fourth-wall-breaking and plenty of expletives.

In the trailer, Ryan Reynolds’ Deadpool is enlisted by the Time Variance Authority — an organizati­on in the Marvel Cinematic Universe that monitors the multiple universes and timelines — to save his universe.

From there, Deadpool needs Wolverine’s help — and the variant of Wolverine he recruits seems to have been responsibl­e for the destructio­n of his own world.

Wolverine, played by Hugh Jackman, initially doesn’t want to get involved, so he and Deadpool duke it out before eventually joining forces.

Once they’re on the same side, they take on a slew of opponents, as seen in a gory fight montage set to Madonna’s “Like a Prayer.”

Many fans of the original comics were pleased to see Jackman sporting a comic-accurate version of the Wolverine suit in all of its yellow, sleeveless glory.

The film will mark Deadpool and Wolverine’s MCU debuts, since the original “Deadpool,” “X-Men” and “Wolverine” films were distribute­d by 20th Century Fox. It’s also Marvel’s first R-rated movie.
