The Marvel Cinematic Universe is expanding with the return of two iconic characters in the upcoming movie "Deadpool & Wolverine." The long-awaited return of Ryan Reynolds and Hugh Jackman as their respective characters, Deadpool and Wolverine, has been officially teased with a new trailer that dropped during the Super Bowl, revealing a mix of meta-commentary, humor, and action. Fans of the R-rated Deadpool franchise will be pleased to see the film retaining its signature tone despite the transition to Disney. The narrative seems to involve the Time Variance Authority, last seen in the "Loki" series, indicating a plot that intertwines with the wider MCU multiverse.

Noteworthy is the inclusion of Wolverine in his iconic yellow suit, and assurances from both Jackman and Reynolds that the movie will respect the character's storyline from "Logan," where (spoiler alert) Wolverine dies. "Deadpool & Wolverine" was initially planned for a May release but was postponed due to industry strikes last year. The new release date is now set for July 26, with fans eagerly awaiting to see how these beloved characters will impact and fit into the overarching Marvel universe.

Will "Deadpool & Wolverine" be R-rated like the previous Deadpool movies?

Yes, "Deadpool & Wolverine" will retain the R-rated humor and violence that fans expect from the Deadpool series.

Background information: "Deadpool & Wolverine" is the third installment in the Deadpool film series, which began with "Deadpool" in 2016. Although originally developed by 20th Century Fox, the franchise's characters have since been integrated into the Marvel Cinematic Universe following Disney's acquisition of Fox. Deadpool is known for his fourth-wall-breaking humor and R-rated content, distinguishing the character from other mainstream superhero films. Hugh Jackman's portrayal of Wolverine has been celebrated for years, with "Logan" (2017) serving as a critically acclaimed send-off for his version of the character. Fans have been speculating on how Deadpool and Wolverine would be introduced to the MCU, making this team-up movie one of the most anticipated superhero films of recent times.
