DEADPOOL & WOLVERINE Director Shares Awesome New Photos Of Blade, Elektra, Gambit, And X-23

After years of keeping Deadpool & Wolverine's biggest surprises under wraps, director Shawn Levy has shared another round of images from the movie once again highlighting The Void's Resistance fighters.

Deadpool & Wolverine director Shawn Levy has shared another batch of hi-res stills from the movie with the spotlight back on Blade (Wesley Snipes), Elektra (Jennifer Garner), Gambit (Channing Tatum), and X-23 (Dafne Keen).

These offer a detailed look at the costumes worn by each Variant, something we're sure the cosplayers among you will be eternally grateful for (even if it is, unfortunately, too late to suit up as any of these characters for Comic-Con!).

"Kid in a candy store doesn’t even begin to describe it," the filmmaker said on Instagram. "These four heroes flew over to England a week in advance of shooting just to nail down all of their fight choreography. The day before they were supposed to film, our industry shut down with an actor’s strike and everyone went home."

"These four pals came back as soon as shooting resumed and delivered at a level you all now know. Honored to bring these characters to the big screen, and lucky to call them friends."

It's been a blast over the past 24 hours or so to get these official shots of the four heroes (and the "Cavillrine") but, without sounding ungrateful, we're still eager for more! We've yet to see any snaps of the Deadpool Corps or Chris Evans' Human Torch, for example.

Understandably, Marvel Studios won't want to give too much away as they're no doubt expecting fans to continue heading back to theaters to rewatch Deadpool & Wolverine in the coming weeks...meaning we might have to be patient to see Logan's cowl in its 4K glory!

Why show Blade, Elektra, Gambit, and X-23? Well, for anyone who hasn't seen the threequel yet - who doesn't care about spoilers - hyping up the presence of these characters is a smart move.

"Unlike Henry, Channing and Jen, Wesley wanted to hear more," Levy recently told The New York Times of bringing Snipes back as Balde. "Ryan and he had not been in touch for many years, and that 'Blade: Trinity' movie they made together was a long time ago [2004], so Wesley wanted to hear more about the tone and the intention."

"When Ryan called and explained that this was coming from a place of reverence and love and a desire to properly appreciate the legacy of 'Blade,' at that moment, Wesley was in," he concluded.

For now, check out the director's latest Deadpool & Wolverine photo dump in the social media posts below.

@Vigor - Dude, Snipes is a total bad-ass (like in Demolition Man). The first 2 blade films were epic. 1 was perfect unil the very end when they cgi'ed the crap outta the last villain as usual). 2, tho soddy cgi in spots too), it easily is in my top 10 superhero flixs ever.

I read rumors but then by the time I see the movie I forget them. Glad my brain does that. So while I read somewhere that gambit and Electra and blade were in, it still was a delight to see them pop up.

@Vigor - yeah , it was leaked at some point but got mixed in with the other rumors which were ultimately BS

Just shows how most of this tends to be wrong

We as a collective need to stop linking anything back to the cesspool that is twitter

@TheManWithoutFear - not easy since much of the info we get is generated through it, like it or not.

@TheManWithoutFear - At this point I'm waiting for twitter to go bankrupt, the way it is going shouldn't take too long, done hearing from it in the main (and esp from it's owner).

@TheManWithoutFear - funny that everyone like Twitter when it was nonstop misinformation, but the truth hurts peoples feelings now a days. . Oh well.

@LandGrizzle - Take Elon out your mouth, Twitter is triple the misinformation now.

@LandGrizzle - there was never a time when 'everyone' liked twitter. A lot of us always thought it was dumb but it used to be harmless.

Now it's no longer harmless, it's a cesspool.

And for what it's worth, since you @ me, I don't have any issue with the truth. But I don't look at twitter to find truth. Nor should anyone.

LandGrizzle - 8/6/2024, 4:16 PM
@DTor91 - misinformation because it doesn’t align with what you believe? I don’t trust Elon, but I find it weird that the man can share evidence of politicians using their power to silence others that did not spread or went against “their information” and suddenly Twitter becomes a cesspool of misinformation. You should add Facebook and Instagram to that list then. Haha. I guess you believe everything you are told to believe.

@Apophis71 - I'd rather see tic-toc go before X. Then toss that sh1t social sight now. It's probably the single reason students of today can spell a damn word, put together a proper sentence, give an intelligent speech, and write creative stories.

(you bet your ass I triple checked my spelling and grammar above ...3 times)

@TheManWithoutFear - The closest it came to when 'everyone liked twitter' I feel was when it was mostly folk like Stephen Fry discussing his words, others doing motivational quotes for the day or minor diary entry type stuff from celebs, not much of an actual membership or actual conversations going on.

Now it is lousy at everything, near impossible to have rational conversations on, lousy source of news beyond local alerts from police or the like and full of misinformation and division.

Sure it is a place to keep track of some celebs who are still active on it but more and more are quitting due to the small vocal minority that seem to get off on spewing hate, and tougher to tell which accounts are official or fake last time I went on it actively.

I get folk having more issues with tic toc as it has been the one getting more of the bipartisan attacks cos of the China aspect but I've never been on it so to me it's just where folk do short dance vids and can't work out how China mining data from it would be more an issue than western companies doing the exact same on everything else and selling it to everyone.

@LandGrizzle - Almost everyone was saying it was full of misinformation before Musk even considered buying it, surely if he proved anyone as silencing anything that would be part the proof it included misinformation, at least less than fully truthful?

Hasn't improved since his takeover, how could it if he truly was honest about allowing ALL speach even if hate speach or misinformation and when he sacked most those responsible for removing fake accounts and dealing with problematic stuff as means MORE content, less monitoring and policing content.

Thus if there was a thing before Musk there will be more post Elon (simple maths) without even getting into many allowed back onto the platform that have been successfully prosecuted for harmfull misinformation (which at least in part was why they HAD been banned) including literal self confessed nazi's.

Not American so my views is nothing to do with any US partisan divides (and lean conservative in my own country) but when lies spread on a platform like Twitter lead to literal riots in my locality cos of fake details given about an arrested teen (claiming and naming as an illegal muslim immigrant when it was a native born christian) I am not going to have a good opinion of it, doubly so when the owner adds fuel to the fire rather than clamping down on the now proven false info or policing posts literaly calling for violence with instructions on when, where and how.

These images are still surreal…

Also the team lineup of Wolverine ,X23 ,Gambit , Deadpool ,Blade & Elektra is a hell of a team!!.

Anyway , these versions had good chemistry with each other so it’s unfortunate they weren’t together in the movie much and we likely won’t see them as a group again (maybe in SW?).

Ultimately , it was a solid movie overall!!.

I fell in love with Jennifer Garner all over again, and my youngest son has a new crush on Dafne Keen. Sorry Ben, but I got first dibs on Jennifer!
