With two weeks left until Deadpool & Wolverine arrives in theaters, Marvel Studios isn't allowing Captain America: Brave New World to overshadow the Merc with the Mouth and Logan!
In this latest TV spot, we're treated to plenty of new footage as Wade Wilson gets used to his new life as...a used car salesman?! Both that and his wig look set to be a recurring joke in the movie and a conversation between Deadpool and Wolverine about exactly that hints at a bromance forming between the duo.
Ryan Reynolds and director Shawn Levy were recently asked how Hugh Jackman joining the movie changed things. The filmmaker started by saying, "We had been trying to craft a story for several months. We had some interesting approaches, but it never gelled. Literally within a day of Hugh joining this story, we knew what the movie was. "
"We got on Zoom with Feige, and he’s like, 'Look, we’re not quite cracking it,'" Levy continued. "We were able to say, 'Actually, a new wrinkle: What would you say to the Wolverine?'"
Reynolds added, "We had a why. When Hugh called, Shawn and I were on our last pitch. Right before, we were like, 'We’ll do the Zoom with Marvel, and if they don’t bite on this pitch that we have, we’ll stand down.' We won’t belabor the creative part of it too long, but Hugh also unlocked the biggest thing when he sent us a 10-minute voice memo."
