The video showcased Wade Wilson as a car salesman, who retired from the superhero world, and later arrived at the Time Variance Authority. Known for its unfiltered quirks, the Deadpool & Wolverine footage featured many R-rated moments along with jokes that will make you fall off your seat. According to Variety, with quips about Disney executives' supposed unpreparedness for the film's explicit content, Deadpool cemented his status as the ultimate provocateur.

One standout moment included Reynolds' character cheekily announcing, "Suck it, Fox, I'm going to Disneyland. Get fucked," in a nod to Disney's acquisition of 20th Century Fox. The footage didn't shy away from taboo subjects either, with references to cocaine use and even a case of mistaken identity involving a security force and exotic dancers at a surprise birthday party for Reynolds himself.

Perhaps the most anticipated moment for fans was the brief glimpse of Hugh Jackman's return as Wolverine, eliciting cheers and excitement from the audience. Audiences also saw a brief glimpse of Hugh returning with his much-loved character, as Deadpool reunites with Wolverine, driving together in a car.

But it wasn't just the star power that captivated viewers; Deadpool's trademark breaking of the fourth wall provided meta-humour that had audiences roaring with laughter. From sly nods to Marvel Studios President Kevin Feige to self-aware commentary on Disney's entry into edgier content, the reel was a masterclass in comedic timing and satire. As Deadpool himself quipped, "I'm not new to pegging, but Disney is. And this isn't 'Pretty Woman.' We're kissing." It's clear that Deadpool and Wolverine is poised to deliver the same brand of outrageous fun that fans have come to expect from the Merc with a Mouth.

Deadpool 3 promises to be a thrilling addition to the Deadpool franchise and the MCU at large. The upcoming film stars Ryan Reynolds, with Wolverine star Hugh Jackman reprising his role. Brianna Hildebrand and Shioli Kutsuna are returning in addition to Karan Soni, Leslie Uggams, Morena Baccarin, Stefan Kapicic and Rob Delaney. Emma Corrin and Matthew Macfadyen are the new cast members.

Jennifer Garner is also reprising her role of Elektra after 20 years. She first played the role in 20th Century Fox’s 2003 feature film Daredevil which starred Ben Affleck. However, she was also headlining the spin-off.

Deadpool 3 is being produced by Marvel’s Kevin Feige, director Shawn Levy and Ryan Reynolds. The script is by Reynolds, Levy, Paul Wernick, Rhett Reese, and Zeb Wells. Deadpool 3 will be released on July 26, 2024 English, Hindi, Tamil, and Telugu.
