Marvel Studios has dropped the bombshell final trailer for “Deadpool & Wolverine,” and it’s packed with jaw-dropping surprises. Brace yourselves because Lady Deadpool is making her grand entrance, and she’s looking fierce alongside a multitude of Merc with the Mouth variants. Fans have been teased with glimpses, but now we finally see her in all her glory. The burning question: who’s under the mask? Blake Lively? Taylor Swift? The speculation is on fire!
But hold onto your claws, because the biggest reveal is the return of Dafne Keen as X-23. Yes, you read that right! The badass child mutant from 2017’s “Logan” is back, reuniting with Hugh Jackman in a move fans have been dying for. Jackman, reprising Wolverine in a fresh twist, left us wondering if Keen would join the fray. Her coy denials during press tours kept us guessing, but the final trailer shuts down all doubts.
Keen had been firm about her absence, even expressing her disappointment on the red carpet for “The Acolyte.” “Of course it’s sad. I love Hugh, and creatively, I love Ryan [Reynolds] and I love Shawn [Levy],” she lamented. “I’m really excited to see what they’ve made. I think Shawn is one of the best directors out there right now. Obviously, Ryan’s a legend. It would have been amazing to be part of it, but I’ll just go watch it as a fan, to see my old buddy in it.”
The tables turned when Entertainment Weekly unveiled an exclusive interview with Keen, where she spilled the beans on her grand return. Inspired by Andrew Garfield’s masterful press misdirection for “Spider-Man: No Way Home,” Keen pulled off her own surprise.
“When my agent called with the news, I screamed so loud I dropped my phone in the bath,” Keen revealed. “I had to put it in rice; it was a whole thing. I was a bit freaked out. I thought, ‘I will have forgotten how to play her. She’s not in me anymore.'”
To get back into the zone, Keen rewatched “Logan” and found herself right back in the groove once the cameras rolled. “As soon as they said, ‘Rolling!’ it felt like we were back doing ‘Logan.’ It was like eight years hadn’t passed,” she said.
“Deadpool & Wolverine” is set to hit theaters on July 26. Don’t miss the electrifying final trailer below and get ready for the most epic Marvel reunion yet!
