Deadpool & Wolverine is fast approaching and, in the next couple of months, we'll start seeing a lot more from the Merc with the Mouth's MCU debut.
A new trailer will likely arrive in time for Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes, and from there, we'll soon start seeing action figures, official promo art (instead of the recent leaks), posters, TV spots, and more. Now, though, we have concept art from the threequel.
Shared by Marvel Studios Director of Visual Development Andy Park to promote this October's release of Deadpool & Wolverine: The Art of the Movie, it offers our best look yet at Wade Wilson's MCU-fied costume.
"Leading the Visual Development team here at Marvel Studios on the upcoming film [Deadpool & Wolverine] was a big deal to me for so many reasons," he explains. "One big reason being that, as some of you may know, I started my career as a comic book artist. And the guy who gave me my [first] job was none other than Deadpool creator himself [Rob Liefeld]."
"I’ll definitely have more to say once the film comes out. I can’t wait! For now check out and preorder this book that showcases the concept designs and ideas my amazing team [and I ([and so many other amazing artists from the other departments) came up with for this film!"
He'd add that it's, "Not final cover art but it does showcase my concept design of Deadpool I did."
We cannot wait to see the designs for Deadpool & Wolverine's Variants and hope the earlier-than-usual release date doesn't mean the book is going to be light on spoilers.
Check out Park's take on the Merc with the Mouth below.
