“Pegging isn’t new for me, friendo. But it is for Disney…”

With that Wade Wilson/Deadpool (Ryan Reynolds) introduces himself to the Marvel Cinematic Universe in the new trailer for Wolverine & Deadpool, premiering during Super Bowl LVIII.

Yes, while his wife Blake Lively watched the big game between the Kansas City Chiefs and San Francisco 49ers in one of Allegiant Stadium’s suites with pal Taylor Swift in Las Vegas, Reynolds debuted his blockbuster film, in theaters July 26th.

Directed by Shawn Levy, the trailer sees Deadpool be recruited into the MCU by a Time Variance Authority agent, played by Succession’s Matthew Macfadyen, who shows him flashes of other Marvel superheroes, from Hulk to Captain America, at the TVA headquarters. We also see a couple of flashes of Hugh Jackman’s Logan/Wolverine, first at a gambling table and then as his shadow looms over an injured Deadpool. There’s also plenty of gunplay, naturally.  

The film is rumored to feature the return of Jennifer Garner’s Elektra Natchios (Daredevil) as well as The Crown’s Emma Corrin as the lead villain and Brianna Hildebrand as teen X-Men member Negasonic Teenage Warhead.

“Your little Cinematic Universe is about to change forever. I am the Messiah. I am… Marvel Jesus,” utters Deadpool.

TIFF Takes Aim at Trump's 'Lake America' Came Change on Opening Night

The Toronto International Film Festival (TIFF) has officially started, as some of the movie world's biggest stars descend upon the city's red carpets amid some strained relationships between Canada and the United States. Obviously, on the opening night of the festival, Trump was at the center of the conversation, specifically for his renaming of Lake Ontario to Lake America.

At Thursday night’s world premiere of Sian Heder’s Being Heumann, TIFF CEO Cameron Bailey, programmer Anita Lee and Toronto Mayor Olivia Chow each took pointed aim at U.S. President Donald Trump’s controversial attempt to rename Lake Ontario as “Lake America.” Bailey drew the first laugh during his opening-night remarks at Roy Thomson Hall, referring to the body of water bordering Toronto by its longstanding Canadian name. The comment was met with sustained applause and laughter from the festival crowd.

Baldwin contended he never pulled the trigger. The clip shows the immediate aftermath of the shooting, as Baldwin and others brace for oncoming paparazzi.
