Get ready, Marvel fans! It's finally happening – Deadpool is joining the Marvel Cinematic Universe and he's not coming alone. The Merc with a Mouth is bringing Wolverine along for the ride, and lucky fans at the Deadpool & Wolverine UK Sneak Peek Fan Event got an exclusive sneak peek into the highly anticipated third movie.
The event, held at the Eventim Apollo, was filled with excitement and anticipation as fans eagerly awaited the first-ever team up of Deadpool and Wolverine. And to make things even more exciting, both Ryan Reynolds and Hugh Jackman will be reprising their roles as the beloved characters.
It's been 24 years since Jackman first debuted as Wolverine with his signature adamantium claws, and fans were initially hesitant when he announced that his last outing as the character would be in Logan. But all doubts were laid to rest as fans witnessed Deadpool literally walking all over Logan's grave and launching into a 35-minute sneak peek of the film.
For those who missed out on the event, here's what went down when Deadpool and Wolverine finally came together. The event kicked off with Martin Kemp as the DJ for the eager crowd, followed by a battle of the bands between two bands – 'Clawsome' and 'The Bloody Katanas'.
The cast and crew, including Ryan and Hugh, took the stage, and even Peggy the dog (aka Dogpool) made a brief cameo. Then, the moment everyone had been waiting for – the sneak peek. It was short but oh so sweet, as it gave fans a taste of what's to come in the full movie.
The opening credits, in true Deadpool style, featured Ryan's familiar voiceover as he battled his current enemy with plenty of crude jokes and a killer soundtrack. And the trailer delivered on its promise of a yellow-suited Wolverine for the first time ever. It also gave fans a glimpse into the first 35 minutes of the film, which is packed with fourth-wall-breaking references and one epic cameo that had the audience cheering.
Without giving away any spoilers, let's just say that Deadpool gets caught up in some time-traveling shenanigans involving the Time Variance Authority. And as fans left the venue, there was a sense of optimism – could Deadpool be the one to save the MCU?
So, who else can we expect to see in the movie? Of course, all eyes are on Hugh Jackman, who is returning to his role as Wolverine despite initially announcing his retirement. At the event, he joked that he saw Deadpool and immediately regretted his decision, but it wasn't until 2022 that his body was "screaming" to take part.
But there are also some new additions to the cast, including Emma Corrin (of The Crown fame) as Cassandra Nova, the mind-bending twin of X-Men's Charles Xavier. We'll also see Matthew Macfadyen as Paradox and Rob Delaney returning as fan favorite Peter, a member of the X-Force team from Deadpool 2.
And let's not forget about the other mutants – most of them are returning for more action, including Colossus, Negasonic Teenage Warhead, and Yukio. But with the merging of Fox and Marvel properties, we can expect some surprise cameos from other heroes as well.
Now, for the important question – what will the age rating be? Like its predecessors, Deadpool and Wolverine has been given an R rating in the US, which translates to a 15 in the UK. The guidance includes sex and nudity, violence and gore, swearing, and alcohol and drug use – all of which are expected in a Deadpool movie.
At the event, the producers emphasized the importance of preserving the integrity of Deadpool as the "Merc with a Mouth". And they certainly didn't shy away from flaunting the R rating, with Wade and Blind Al listing various names for cocaine and Deadpool stating that it was the only thing Disney insisted was "off the table".
So when can we finally watch the movie in the UK? The wait is almost over – Deadpool and Wolverine will be released in UK theaters on July 25, exactly 24 years after the first X-Men film was released. And for those who prefer to stream, the movie will be available on-demand on a yet-unknown date, most likely on Disney Plus.
