Marvel's new film, Deadpool & Wolverine, has revealed significant spoilers in its final trailer, which is surprising considering Marvel's previous efforts to prevent spoilers for movies like Spider-Man: No Way Home. The trailer, released just a week before the film's premiere on July 26, 2024, showcases major plot twists including that the Wolverine featured is not the familiar Fox universe Wolverine, but one from an alternate universe. Additionally, Dafne Keen returns as X-23, a reveal that may have been better suited for the cinema experience.

Why did Marvel include major plot spoilers in the Deadpool & Wolverine final trailer?

Including significant spoilers in the final trailer could be a strategic decision to create buzz and drive last-minute ticket sales. Marvel may believe that the excitement generated by these reveals will outweigh the disappointment of spoiled surprises for some fans.

Deadpool & Wolverine marks the continuation of Ryan Reynolds’ Deadpool within the Marvel Cinematic Universe and brings Hugh Jackman back as Wolverine. This crossover taps into the rich legacy of the X-Men while adding new dimensions to the characters, making it a highly anticipated installment for Marvel fans.
