Deadpool & Wolverine is shaping up to be one of the biggest Marvel movies ever and a new batch of stills (which appear to have originated from Empire) have today hit social media.
In them, we see more of Wade Wilson's birthday party, a battle in the snow, the Merc with the Mouth exploring - and possibly fighting in - the TVA, a new shot of the anti-hero and Logan, and Cassandra Nova in all her intimidating glory.
There's also a great behind-the-scenes photo of Ryan Reynolds and Hugh Jackman suited up alongside director Shawn Levy.
The biggest reveal, however, comes our way in that shot of Deadpool and Mr. Paradox. Behind him, we see the Sacred Timeline branching uncontrollably, just like it did at the end of Loki season 1. However, at the end of season 2, it had taken on the shape of the tree-like Yggdrasil, suggesting Deadpool & Wolverine takes place before that.
Perhaps Paradox enacts his own plan to save the Sacred Timeline? Talking to the publication, actor Matthew Macfadyen hinted that there's more to his TVA agent than meets the eye when he said, "He's sexy, heroic [Laughs]. He's running the TVA and he appears on the surface to be quite helpful. He's got a plan for Deadpool."
Check out these new stills from Deadpool & Wolverine in the X posts below (via @CineGeekNews).
