My wife (who watches The Bachelorette as her guilty pleasure) told me about this spot and how funny she thought it was...she's looking forward to this movie and is set to venture into a theater for the first time since Covid to see it with me.

IGN was recently invited to watch the opening act of Deadpool & Wolverine, which was then followed by a new trailer. Those 35 minutes are as funny, crass, and violent as you’d expect of a Deadpool project, but beneath the gags is a weightier sense of purpose. Deadpool & Wolverine actively and directly recognises that there’s an ongoing conversation about the quality of the MCU right now. And while we won’t know for sure until the full cut of the movie releases on July 26, the fourth wall-breaking subtext seems to be a story that recognises there’s a lot of work to be done, and that the journey to reclaiming the MCU’s former glory starts here.

 

Without spoiling anything, it seems like Marvel Studios really values the unification of its beloved characters. That’s already fairly obvious – this is an MCU film featuring Ryan Reynolds’ Deadpool and Hugh Jackman’s Wolverine, afterall – but the film doesn’t treat their presence as a joke or simple IP transference. The opening half an hour is really dedicated to providing in-universe reasoning for how they’re able to be part of the same universe as Captain America, Iron Man, and Thor.

 

Thanks to the Loki TV series’ introduction of the Time Variance Authority and Matthew MacFadyen’s casting of TVA agent Paradox, you can likely already guess the very basics of the official lore behind the uniting of the different film universes. But I think the way Deadpool & Wolverine’s writing team (plus, presumably, a bunch of editorial minds from Marvel Studios HQ) have plotted out the convergence of the Fox and MCU universes is genuinely satisfying.

 

The presence of the TVA means Deadpool & Wolverine gets to play around with variants, and it has as much fun – if not more – with the concept than Loki did. You won’t get any clues here, but the first 35 minutes includes some great deep cuts that will have comic readers punching the air. One in particular is something fans have been waiting years… no, decades to see on screen.

Are IGN credible, or just another fawning bunch of shills?

35 minutes do not a movie make.

But at least it is much more than the common 5-10 minute spots some studios offer. So hopefully that implies Marvel Studios feels that confident in the total package without any of the many missteps of late.

I'm with you, I sincerely hope IGN is correct in their assessment.

It brings me some hope, but one movie does not save a franchise.  Even if this one is fantastic, the next few have to also be good.  So Cap 4 and then Thunderbolts (think that is the one after) can't just go back to the quality of phase 5. Really, the best thing to do may be to scrap everything in developement and just get to the X-Men and the Fantastic Four.

 

Plus, the shows even if amazing are not going to save the MCU. Plus, Agatha and Iron Heart are not going to reinvigorate fans.
