'Deadpool & Wolverine' makes a splash with cheeky new footage: 'I'm going to Disneyland'

LAS VEGAS – It's hard to fathom what's more exciting, Deadpool finally diving headfirst into the Marvel Cinematic Universe, or Ryan Reynolds' beloved wisecracking oddball getting his own popcorn bucket.
The good news from CinemaCon is that superhero fans don't have to choose, they're getting both. Marvel Studios president Kevin Feige teased at the convention of theater owners that Deadpool is "designing" a collectible container to sell at concession stands − and director Shawn Levy introduced nine minutes of new footage from "Deadpool & Wolverine" (in theaters July 27).
For those wondering if it'd be the same cursing, fourth wall-breaking Deadpool from the previous Fox films, they got their answer with a whole bunch of f-bombs. In the sneak peek, Wade Wilson (Reynolds) has literally hung up his tights and is now selling cars. His friends throw him a birthday party – complete with cocaine riffs and "Frozen" jokes – but Wade gets nabbed by a goon squad from the Time Variance Authority (see: "Loki" Seasons 1 and 2).
He's taken to see Mr. Paradox (Matthew Macfadyen of "Succession" fame), and this cryptic guy shows him scenes from Marvel movies and tells Wade he can finally be the hero he's always wanted to be. So Deadpool gets a new costume and, in meta fashion, agrees to leave his timeline for the MCU. "Suck it, Fox! I'm going to Disneyland," Deadpool says into the camera before busting it.
Marvel showed some of the chemistry between Reynolds' Deadpool and Jackman's Wolverine, who's also making his MCU debut in the new film. The Disney presentation started with a "Silence your phones" announcement where Wolverine let loose a curse-laden rant – with Deadpool chiming in, "So much testosterone" – and Levy screened a quick scene with Deadpool in a car with Wolverine, dressed in the yellow-and-blue costume from the old 1960s "X-Men" comic books. "Friends don't let friends dress like they play for the Los Angeles Rams," Deadpool cracks.

Feige also gave a few updates to other Marvel projects: "Fantastic Four" (out July 25), starring Pedro Pascal and Vanessa Kirby, begins filming in a few months, while "Thunderbolts*" (May 2, 2025), the supergroup movie with Florence Pugh, David Harbour, Wyatt Russell, Sebastian Stan and more, now has an asterisk as part of its official title. But Feige said he can't talk about that until "after release."
The Marvel chief also debuted the first footage from "Captain America: Brave New World," a political thriller and the first solo movie to feature Sam Wilson (Anthony Mackie) with the star-spangled shield. "It's been amazing," Mackie reports.
The sneak peek showed one scene where Sam is brought to the Oval Office by President Thaddeus "Thunderbolt" Ross, now played by Harrison Ford. (William Hurt played Ross in Marvel movies before his death in 2022.) The president tells Sam that he's had problems with heroes in the past but wants Sam to rebuild the Avengers. But in another scene, an event at the White House turns bad when Isaiah Bradley (Carl Lumbly) and other super-soldiers are "activated" by a song and try to assassinate the president, leading into an action-packed trailer where Ross brings the sass to Sam. "You're no Steve Rogers," he tells Sam, invoking the name of Chris Evans' previous Cap.
