The official trailer for Deadpool & Wolverine has finally arrived, and it’s a wild ride from start to finish.
Packed into the captivating two-and-a-half-minute teaser are tantalizing hints of what fans can expect from this long-awaited release. Deadpool and Wolverine, in all their frenemy glory, strut their stuff in skin-tight spandex as they navigate through worlds unraveling around them.
The third installment of the Deadpool franchise has long been teased as a cross-dimensional escapade, with the MCU embracing the Merc with a Mouth and granting him access to the multiverse. The trailer leaves viewers with heaps of questions as they ponder the significance of various details and revelations that could shake the MCU to its core.
One of the most striking revelations in the trailer occurs just ahead of the two-minute mark — the towering proportions of Scott Lang’s unmistakable helmet. In a blink-and-you’ll-miss-it moment, viewers catch a glimpse of Ant-Man’s oversized helmet seemingly integrated into the structure of a town. Upon closer examination, it becomes apparent that the town’s walls are constructed from the oversized arms of the suit, with Ant-Man’s massive, picked-clean skull revealed when the helmet opens.
The implication is clear — Ant-Man, or at least a version of him, is dead in Deadpool & Wolverine. However, given the nature of the film and its exploration of multiversal travel, things may not be as they seem. With multiple individuals having taken up the mantle of Ant-Man across different timelines and universes, the skull within the helmet could belong to various iterations of the character.
While it appears that Ant-Man is indeed dead in Deadpool & Wolverine, it’s unlikely to signal the end of his character’s journey. The film’s multiverse narrative opens the door to endless possibilities, and the version of Ant-Man depicted may not be the one audiences are familiar with. As the third Deadpool movie promises to deliver a wild and unpredictable story, fans can expect some serious changes, but it’s unlikely that killing off Paul Rudd’s character is among them.
In the world of Deadpool, anything is possible, and Wade Wilson’s penchant for defying expectations means that surprises are always in store.
