The very first Deadpool & Wolverine trailer has lastly graced us courtesy of the Tremendous Bowl, revealing not solely the official title of Marvel Studios’ marquee launch of 2024, however what may also be the MCU turning level (for actual this time!).
Certainly, with extra faces — each outdated and new — than we are able to rely and a familiarly-weighty premise spruced up by Deadpool’s cheeky, foul-mouthed, bloody smashing of the fourth wall, that is one trailer that has little question whetted many an urge for food.
And the place there’s a whetted urge for food, there’s much more starvation; as per traditional, we’ve all come out of that first new-Marvel-movie trailer with much more questions than solutions, and these seven are firmly on the forefront of our minds.
The place’s Elektra?

We’ve identified that Deadpool’s third outing was going to rope in some cinematic legacy characters by the armful, however none can declare to be fairly as large a wildcard as Elektra, who Jennifer Garner will probably be stepping again into the boots of after final taking part in the murderer in 2005’s Elektra movie.
And maybe it was daring to imagine that we’d catch a glimpse of her within the first trailer, but it surely’s nonetheless not possible to disregard the truth that Elektra’s position in Deadpool & Wolverine‘s shenanigans stays simply as large a thriller as ever. After all, given her street-hero associations and Vincent D’Onofrio’s Kingpin gaining an increasing number of prominence within the MCU, it’s in all probability protected to say that the positioning of Elektra’s largest impression has but to be revealed anyway.
How will the remainder of the mutants come into play?

Talking of confirmed characters, we all know that the mutant rep will go far past Wolverine, Colossus, and Negasonic Teenage Warhead; certainly, with X-Males baddies Sabretooth and Toad already set to look, and now Aaron Stanford’s Pyro formally within the combine as of the trailer, the remnants of the Brotherhood of Mutants are going to want one thing to do.
That one thing is nearly definitely going to contain giving Deadpool and Wolverine a headache or two, however precisely what stake they’ve on this explicit sport nonetheless isn’t clear but, and we’re now eagerly awaiting trailer quantity two to be taught precisely what their beef is.
What’s the story behind Agent Paradox?

One query that was answered on this trailer was the identification of Matthew Macfadyen’s mysterious character, who we now know as Agent Paradox of the TVA.
This, after all, results in numerous questions: What place does Paradox maintain within the TVA that provides what seems to be unrestricted entry to a case seemingly as profitable as Deadpool’s? And why are we solely simply listening to about him now? Might or not it’s that there are a number of TVA branches that we’ve but to be taught all about? Certainly, Paradox might very properly be first stepping stone to a model new area of MCU academia.
Is that this TVA pre- or post-Loki?

What’s extra, the TVA is trying awfully useful contemplating what went down within the second season of Loki, which leads us to surprise precisely the place Deadpool & Wolverine falls on the timeline. Does it occur concurrently with Loki’s acclimation to god of tales, or is it a bit extra sophisticated than that?
Regardless of the reply is, it will likely be arduous to contain the TVA in any challenge going ahead with out giving a nod to the Loki state of affairs indirectly, form, or type, so we are able to in all probability simply verify that off as one other factor to stay up for.
What occurs to Deadpool’s family and friends?

So, we all know that Deadpool received kidnapped by the TVA, however let’s not neglect that he had a sizeable posse of allies, round half of them mutants, proper behind him. May they’ve reacted to the commotion exterior and had a run-in of their very own with the TVA, or not less than checked to see the place Wade went?
This might simply be defined away by the TVA dipping out earlier than anybody had time to react, but it surely’s simply as essential to notice that Morena Baccarin — who portrays Wade’s spouse Vanessa, who’s after all current at Wade’s residence previous to the TVA’s invasion — appears to be fairly excessive on the casting invoice, so it’s no nice assumption to say that she’ll take up her fair proportion of house within the movie, additional implying that the remainder of Deadpool’s allies will present up properly past the inciting incident.
Whether or not that entails some aggressive pruning firstly of the movie is anybody’s guess, but it surely’s protected to say that Wade’s sudden disappearance received’t go fully unnoticed, nor with out retaliation.
Why has Deadpool been having “a tricky couple of years?”

If the Deadpool & Wolverine trailer has made one factor abundantly clear, it’s that issues aren’t fairly going as anticipated for Wade Wilson. That, nonetheless, is clear even earlier than the TVA exhibits up at his doorstep.
Solid your thoughts again, if you’ll, to the top of Deadpool 2, the place he and a recently-resurrected Vanessa are discussing the opportunity of kids, to say nothing of storing up an infinite provide of euphoria by slaughtering Fox’s interpretation of Weapon XI earlier than saving Ryan Reynolds from a doomed Inexperienced Lantern flip. He definitely had the momentum again then, so the place is that this obvious battle coming from now?
If Marvel is useless set on leaning into the Jesus bit, possibly Wade is simply having a fairly dire existential disaster that he hasn’t fairly conquered but (being a automobile for meta humor – and even then, one that truly works – in all probability does a quantity in your thoughts). Regardless of the case, his struggles are going to spike in an enormous means over the course of the movie, so right here’s hoping he packed his sport face earlier than being dragged off by the TVA.
What’s Emma Corrin’s villain plotting?
![cassandra nova deadpool](https://wegotthiscovered.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/02/cassandra-.png)
Regardless of being confirmed as the principle antagonist, the one data we received about Emma Corrin’s character is an ominous shot of the again of their head — a head that we aren’t even 100% certain belongs to Emma Corrin (however like, c’mon).
Whispers of them portraying Cassandra Nova — the genocidal foil to Charles Xavier — look to be proper on the cash, however the reality stays that we nonetheless don’t know how the principle antagonist ties in to Deadpool & Wolverine, which is probably one of the best indulgence of in-universe intrigue that Marvel has exercised in a while.
