The first teaser poster for Deadpool & Wolverine featured just the hands of Wade Wilson and Logan, with the former extending a single finger to touch one of the X-Man's claws.
Now, an IMAX one-sheet has been released which features the Merc with the Mouth pretty much holding hands with the no doubt reluctant clawed mutant. However, many fans are convinced there's more to this latest poster than meets the eye.
Yes, the fact they're wearing friendship bracelets has sent speculation into overdrive - again - about Taylor Swift possibly making an appearance in the threequel. So far, she's been rumoured to appear as Lady Deadpool, Dazzler, a female Wolverine, and herself.
Some also believe the placement of Deadpool's figures is meant to signify Swift's trademark "13," though we'd say that's perhaps reading too much into what we see here.
The friendship bracelets are tough to ignore, though, particularly as this is the first time they've been used on a Deadpool & Wolverine poster.
"That is hardly confirmed nor denied in this interview," director Shawn Levy recently said of the Taylor Swift rumours. "I’m going to literally walk out of the frame and save myself, otherwise Ryan [Reynolds]’s taking a hit [out] on me."
"All that’s known is that I went to a football game, and those hours were well-documented and that’s all I’m gonna say. What can I say? I think intrigue is fun."
"They sure are loud," the filmmaker added, referring to the constant reports about the singer showing up in Deadpool & Wolverine. "I’m going across the board. 'No comment' because that’s a double whammy. That’s Taylor-related. And it’s MCU-related. I’m no dummy. You’re going to have to wait and see."
Check out this new poster for the movie below.
