They didn’t say it’d never happen but it’s definitely happening! Unless you’re out of the MCU loop, you may have seen lingerings of this for a while now as Deadpool and Wolverine are coming together in what seems like Marvel Studios’ reboot, as it’s a NSFW encounter for two frenemies revel in, if this trailer is anything to go by.

Do you need to know everything that’s gone before? I have no idea. Obviously even if you only know the two leads in their various incarnations, then you’re in a good place. And this trailer is loving every moment of their tempestuous relationship – plus it’ll be released right around my day of birth…. why’s it weird when you write it that way around?
