Fans were hoping that we might get a glimpse of some footage from Marvel Studios' Deadpool 3 before the New Year, and while that obviously didn't happen, we may know when to expect the first teaser (or possibly even full trailer) for the Merc With a Mouth's MCU debut.
According to insider Daniel Richtman, the first teaser for Deadpool 3 - sorry, "Untitled Deadpool Movie" - will indeed be released during Super Bowl LVIII exactly one month from now on February 11.
Most studios unveil trailers for their upcoming tentpole releases during the event, so this wouldn't exactly be a massive surprise, but if this is accurate, we will likely get official confirmation (along with a little preview, hopefully) over the next few weeks.
We have no idea what to expect from this first look at the movie, but knowing star Ryan Reynolds - who recently accepted his Emmy Award for Welcome To Wrexham in-costume as Deadpool - it's going to be far from a standard movie trailer!
Cameos that have reportedly been lined up include several X-Men characters (Storm, Cyclops, and Jean Grey among them), and possibly even Channing Tatum and Taylor Kitsch as different Variants of Gambit. A recent rumor claimed that Liev Schreiber is also set to reprise his X-Men Origins: Wolverine role as Victor Creed.
Variants of the Merc With a Mouth are also expected to appear, including Dogpool (since confirmed), Kidpool, Lady Deadpool, and more.
The one major return that had been confirmed by the trades is Jennifer Garner as Elektra, but the Alias alum declined to confirm anything in a recent interview.
Morena Baccarin (Vanessa), Karan Soni (Dopinder), Leslie Uggams (Blind Al), Rob Delaney (Peter), Brianna Hildebrand (Negasonic Teenage Warhead) And Shioli Kutsuna (Yukio) will all return as their respective characters, and they'll be joined by franchise newcomers Emma Corrin (The Crown) and Matthew Macfadyen (Succession), whose roles are still under wraps (the former is rumored to play Cassandra Nova, however).
A rumored synopsis for the movie reads: "After facing some professional setbacks while going through a midlife crisis, Wade Wilson decides to officially retire Deadpool and becomes a used car salesman.But when his friends, family, and the whole world are at stake, Deadpool decides to bring his katanas out of retirement," the synopsis continues. "He recruits an unwilling and wary Wolverine to not only fight for their survival, but ultimately, their legacy."
Deadpool 3 is set to be released in theaters on July 26, 2024.
