He’s Very Good at What He Does

The trailer climaxes back against the Fox ruins, as Deadpool finds himself smashed through debris by an unknown assailant… one revealed to be none other than Logan himself, who gives Deadpool a hand up by offering a trademark “snikt!” with his claws, seemingly going to shank our would-be hero.

Interestingly, lying just off to the left of Wade here as the camera moves in is a tattered comic bearing the Secret Wars logo. It’s specifically the version of the logo for the 2015 event of the same name, not the original 1984 comic saga. Although it’s impossible to tell just which issue it’s meant to be given the damage, it makes sense given that the series is currently playing a huge role in Marvel’s movie plans: it dealt with the fallout of “Incursions,” reality-destroying events that saw universes in the multiverse collide and eradicate each other. Given we’re literally getting a movie called Avengers: Secret Wars at some point, it’s going to come up a lot in the next few years.

No doubt we’ll learn even more about Deadpool’s shenanigans before Deadpool & Wolverine hits theaters July 26.
