Approximately one week ago, the first trailer for Marvel Studios’ Deadpool and Wolverine was released. Although the film doesn’t officially come out until July, its press tour has seemingly begun overseas.
To commemorate the occasion, a new poster has been released.
The poster first surfaced on the official Instagram account for Marvel Australia/New Zealand.
Posted with the caption “Besties,” the latest piece of marketing aims to solidify the idea that the two titular heroes are reluctant friends. However, it also could be seen as a subtle nod to a previously rumored cameo.

After all, what other star is known for their use of friendship bracelets? (hint: It’s Taylor Swift).

Other than Ryan Reynolds and Hugh Jackman, other Marvel (and mostly Deadpool) veterans returning for the threequel, as previously reported, include Karan Soni, Leslie Uggams, Morena Baccarin, and Stefan Kapicic, who respectively portray Deadpool’s cab driver sidekick Dopinder, his roommate Blind Al, his fiancée Vanessa — who in the sequel was killed and then revived — and the metallic mutant Colossus. Comedian Rob Delaney is also expected to return in some capacity.
Newcomers to the franchise will include Hugh Jackman (who reprises his role as Wolverine), The Crown‘s Emma Corrin, and Succession‘s Matthew Macfadyen.
Currently, it’s unclear if the film will follow the continuity – or at least have the main character remember the continuity – from the first two films, or if this will be a soft reboot of sorts. Considering that these characters are appearing in the film, there may be a chance this isn’t a soft reboot after all. There are rumors that Mobius and the TVA will appear to go after Deadpool for the time traveling he did at the end of Deadpool 2.
Deadpool & Wolverine is set to be directed by Shawn Levy (Free Guy, The Adam Project). Rhett Reese and Paul Wernick return to the franchise to write. Kevin Feige will produce.
The film is currently slated to be the only Marvel film hitting theaters next year on July 26, 2024.
