We've seen a lot from Deadpool & Wolverine in recent weeks but much of the movie remains shrouded in secrecy. We've mostly just seen the title characters in The Void and wouldn't be shocked if they spend relatively little time there in the movie itself.
Still, it's a clever way to maintain the threequel's biggest surprises, and we're expecting many of them given the Multiversal nature of this team-up. Marvel Studios last pulled a stunt like this with Avengers: Endgame, only showing footage from the first act in trailers.
In the latest issue of Total Film, we get a few more Deadpool & Wolverine breadcrumbs, including the fact it picks up six years after the events of 2018's Deadpool 2.
"He's proving to be useless at selling cars, hawking Blind Al's blood-pressure meds to make rent, and his beloved Vanessa has a new boyfriend," reads the publication's report. That last part is very interesting and has caused quite a stir on social media.
As of now, we don't know who Vanessa's new boyfriend is; something tells us the Merc with the Mouth won't like him, though! Either way, you have to feel for Wade Wilson given that he travelled back in time and changed things so she'd survive.
"I finished my shooting days on it, already," Morena Baccarin told us last December. "I think the film is now underway again after the strike and I think it's going to be quite good! Yeah, I think fans are in for a fun surprise."
When we asked whether Vanessa could finally transform into the blue-skinned copycat, the actress said, "[Laughs] I think, yes! But I think she's also competing with a very large universe."
Who do you think Vanessa's new boyfriend will be in Deadpool & Wolverine?
