Deadpool & Wolverine is right around the corner and Ryan Reynolds has got fans talking today with a cryptic Instagram post. In that, we see what appears to be a brief snippet of footage from the threequel with an Avengers flag bearing the team's emblem blowing in the breeze.
However, the iconic logo has been defaced with the "A" symbol of anarchy, leading to speculation this could be referencing the team of Variants who assemble to battle Cassandra Nova and her villainous allies in The Void.
According to The Geeky Cast (meaning we're taking this with a major pinch of salt), the "Resistance" team will be comprised of Deadpool (Reynolds), Wolverine (Hugh Jackman), Blade (Wesley Snipes), X-23 (Dafne Keen), Gambit (Channing Tatum), the Human Torch (Chris Evans), and Elektra (Jennifer Garner).
That sounds a little too good to be true if we're being honest. If they are in the movie, though, now might be a good time to showcase them and start getting fans excited to see more than just a Deadpool/Wolverine team-up.
While that's a huge selling point and something we're all thrilled about, it's also been the basis of Deadpool & Wolverine's marketing campaign from the start. Shaking things up now to further boost interest would be no bad thing as we're sure the movie is packed full of cameos and surprises.
If we're really lucky, this means one final trailer could be coming this week which provides further context for this mysterious Avengers flag...
