Just in, we have a look ahead at all the incoming Marvel series of 2025 including Daredevil: Born Again, Ironheart, Wonder Man, and more. Check this out:

The timeline of releases is as follows:

Deadpool and Wolverine (Nov. 12)

What If…? Season 3 (Dec. 22)

Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man (Jan. 29, 2025)

Daredevil: Born Again (March 4, 2025)

Ironheart (June 24, 2025)

Eyes of Wakanda (Aug. 6, 2025)

Marvel Zombies (October 2025)

Wonder Man (December 2025).

On the movie side of things, Marvel fans are expecting three movies to release next year—Captain America: Brave New World (Feb. 14, 2025), Thunderbolts* (May 2, 2025), and Fantastic Four: First Steps (July 25, 2025).

Admittedly, the slate looks pretty full, which is different from what fans were expecting, with the studio said to be slowing down moving forward. Then again, with Marvel hanging back on releases this year, this could be a result of them coming back up—then again, all of these projects have been on hold for quite a while since they were initially announced. It’s great that they’re finally releasing.

Personally, I’m in the camp that thinks that Marvel is in a bit of a slump, and I don’t think that leaning in on nostalgia is going to make the studio any better—despite the success of Deadpool and Wolverine. At least there are some newer projects covering more obscure characters to look forward to.

I still am holding out for second seasons of She-Hulk and Ms. Marvel though.

It’s said that the two are expected to rest on their laurels for a while after the success of the movie, but it looks like Marvel is already excited to keep the Logan/Wade train going.

According to scooper @MyTimeToShineH (via @Marvel_Updates_) a fourth Deadpool movie is already being discussed, and Reynolds and Jackman were said to have expressed interest in returning. In a previous report from June, it was also said that Deadpool 4 was going to release after the end of the Multiversal Saga (probably after Avengers: Secret Wars), and Deadpool becomes a ‘staple character’ in the MCU alongside the mutants and the Fantastic Four.

We don’t know how much to trust this news yet since MTTSH has had some misfires in the past, but after the insane success of Deadpool and Wolverine, it’s no surprise that Marvel Studios is already looking ahead and wanting to work fast before Jackman decides that he’s too old to keep playing Wolverine again.

Personally, I’ve always been in the camp that believes that the MCU should just bring in a new Wolverine, but if Jackman is going to hang around for a while, they might as well make the best of it while they can. As for Reynolds, I imagine DP is a pretty easy role for him. After all, a lot of the action can just be done by a stunt double in a mask, and Reynolds can just dub his voice over and show his heavily made-up face once in a while—kind of like Pedro Pascal in The Mandalorian.

No official update has been made for the next Deadpool movie, but hopefully Marvel doesn’t rely too much on nostalgia with the next one.

The effect can get pretty unnerving when you watch it, and Marvel Entertainment has just released a BTS look at how exactly they pulled it off for the movie. Check this out:

Get a behind-the-scenes look at how Cassandra Nova’s fingers go under people’s skin and in their minds, with Deadpool & Wolverine VFX Supervisor Swen Gillberg.

Though the movie did shoot some references of the actors playing out the roles, a lot of the effect was actually brought to life with full CG models. As it turns out, when Cassandra is tormenting Paradox in the film, it’s actually a full CG head that we’re seeing get messed up onscreen.

On the other hand though, sometimes the movie will just replace one part with CG—like the moment where Cassandra pokes into Wolverine’s head; they only ended up replacing Hugh Jackman’s forehead digitally for that scene.

With more and more reveals just coming out for Deadpool and Wolverine, we should expect Marvel to drop some more interesting behind-the-scenes looks before the movie actually gets a home release. Besides the legacy heroes and this VFX shot, there’s so much more the movie could delve into, like the new costumes or the characters they kept from the Fox universe.

I’m just here hoping for a specific timeline breakdown of where everyone is from and how they’re going to connect to the overall MCU.

Deadpool and Wolverine is now showing in theaters.

Check these new Dogpool photos out:

Peggy. Dogpool. Mary Puppins. She goes by many names. She’s obviously a very special cast member. What many don’t know, is that she was also the Intimacy Coordinator on #DeadpoolAndWolverine. Which was a complete disaster, start to finish.

What kind of Intimacy Coordinator says… pic.twitter.com/8PYEH5dqz2

Admittedly Dogpool doesn’t really do anything active in the story, but she does make for a lot of great comic relief; particularly with Reynolds who doesn’t seem to mind having the dog continuously frenching him in the movie. It’s also Deadpool’s infatuation with Dogpool that is at the very core of his hate for “Nicepool” and once the film got rid of him, Dogpool was then free to stay with Deadpool Prime.

For now, it’s unclear what Kevin Feige and Marvel Studios wants to do with Deadpool. After all the hype surrounding the Wolverine team-up, it does seem that Reynolds and the crew are just resting on their laurels for now before they think of what to do next.

If anything, fans are sure that Deadpool and Wolverine are going to have something to do with Avengers: Secret Wars, then after that, Marvel would be ready to reboot the X-Men and introduce a whole new team.

I mean, I know there are a lot of people who love Hugh Jackman as Logan, but there’s just no way the character can keep going if they just keep sticking to him for the next few years. Even the Robert Downey Jr. announcement rubbed a lot of fans the wrong way.

While the show had given fans an army of Deadpools, we also got a bunch of different Wolverines around the multiverse as well; but unfortunately, not all of them were able to make the cut.

Talking to Happy Sad Confused, director Shawn Levy confirms that one Wolverine variant that didn’t make the cutting room floor was a literal wolverine. “We really really wanted an actual wolverine—the animal—and he would maul Deadpool. But we came up with that idea too late to do a convincing digital wolverine,” he explained.  But even if they didn’t get to do the gag for the film, Levy continued, “That one’s in my back pocket should I need one for any sequels.”

Though the yellow and blue suit was in the center of all the marketing, the movie actually featured all kinds of variant costumes including the brown and yellow suit from the comic as well as a Wolverine with one hand from the Age of Apocalypse storyline.

Levy shares about the process of picking variants, “As we were developing that sequence, we invited everybody to pitch ideas, so that meant the Marvel Visual Development Department, that meant the storyboard artists, costume designers—and so we got this grab bag of suggestions and ended up choosing the John Burn kind of old school Wolvies in there too.

“We got this grab bag of Wolverine variants that felt so satisfying and really was a brainchild of a big group collaboration and that is the fun—to me—of making movies.”

Though there were some fans hoping that Marvel would fully reboot the X-Men, it looks like Hugh Jackman’s version of Wolverine is going to stick around for a few more years—at least until Avengers: Secret Wars.

I honestly love how Hugh Jackman embodied the character over the course of decades, but I’m honestly ready for someone new to take on the role.

As it turns out, the return of the old Marvel Fox heroes was a really big deal for the production, and director Shawn Levy has shared some official behind-the-scenes images of the Legacy characters coming together. Check these out:

Though fans may be familiar with Elektra and Blade getting their own films, Gambit was a movie that was announced but never got into production. The studio went so far as to have Channing Tatum announced as Gambit at a Hall H panel, but the movie went into Development Hell, and the acquisition of Fox by Disney didn’t help the film’s chances either.

Other heroes that were said to have been courted for an appearance was Ghost Rider, but Nicolas Cage declined an offer to return. There were also rumors that other Fantastic Four members would appear, but the only one that did was Chris Evans’ Human Torch/ Johnny Storm.

So far, Deadpool and Wolverine have been earning mixed reactions from fans with some saying that the movie relied too heavily on nostalgia and was setting a bad precedent for the future of the MCU; but the box office numbers don’t lie, and the film is going down to be the most successful R-rated movie of all time, beating Passion of the Christ.

With leaks going around online like wildfire, Cavill has decided to officially share a look at him as Logan in costume—complete with cigar. Check this out:

A post shared by Henry Cavill (@henrycavill)

It’s funny because the caption, “To be safe, I shaved the moustache off for this one. Just the moustache,” is a jab at him working on Justice League. Infamously, he was told he wasn’t allowed to shave of his moustache for the reshoots, and the studio was forced to spend millions to have the facial hair digitally removed—and it didn’t even look great in the final product.

As for his appearance in Wolverine, this would probably lead to a lot of fans demanding that Cavill play the MCU Wolverine moving forward. With his Warhammer series possibly going into creative limbo, maybe Cavill can be free enough to actually have a solid spot in the MCU; but it’s possible that he’s still too closely tied to Superman so Marvel may want someone else to really embody the role.

I really just hope that Deadpool’s joke about Jackman ‘doing this until he’s 90’ isn’t going to be taken seriously by any of the Marvel execs. As for Cavill, fingers are crossed that he manages to nab a role that will treat him right soon.

To celebrate the movie actually getting #1 at the worldwide box office, Marvel Studios has shared an image of Hugh Jackman recreating the infamous Wolverine meme of him holding up a framed photo. Check this out:

And since this is still a Deadpool movie, they’ve also recreated the meme with Deadpool holding up his own framed photo:

Just for context, here’s the original meme from the animated X-Men series:

There was actually a video of the meme released as well, but instead of Logan caressing the photo, he just tosses it away.

@marvel Picture’s worth a thousand memes. #DeadpoolAndWolverine #HughJackman #CapCut ♬ original sound – Marvel Entertainment

It’s actually kind of feels like they shot this scene for the movie, but since the film was already chockfull of all kinds of cameos and references, the appearance of this meme could have been a tad overkill. It does make for fun internet fodder though.

Despite some negative reactions, the box office has spoken, and Deadpool and Wolverine looks to be the hit that Marvel Studios was looking for. With the Avengers: Doomsday announcement and this movie’s overall vibe, it does seem like Marvel is now fully leaning into nostalgia; but I am hoping that the Russos and Kevin Feige know that it’s way better to prioritize a good story than just hoping fans will point and clap when someone familiar is onscreen.

Star Wars had to learn that lesson the hard way.

 Deadpool and Wolverine is now showing in theatres.

There’s been a lot of speculation on who could be appearing in Deadpool and Wolverine, and a lot of fans have guessed that Lady Deadpool, who is definitely appearing in the film, is played by Ryan Reynolds’ irl wife Blake Lively.

While nothing official has been confirmed, a set photo shared by Lively is fuelling the rumors that she could have an appearance in the film. Check this out:

A post shared by Blake Lively (@blakelively)

Of course, it’s possible that she couldn’t be appearing, but some guess it could be like a Mandalorian situation where Lady Deadpool doesn’t remove her mask, but she speaks in Lively’s voice.

With the movie expected to have cameos and appearances from characters all across Marvel’s cinematic history, an appearance from Lively as a Deadpool Variant seems like the something that could be on the everyone’s wishlist—especially Reynolds himself. I mean, he practically willed this team-up with Hugh Jackman over the past few years; even managing to get a little story out of his supposed final appearance as Wolverine in Logan.

Going back to the Deadpool variants though, we know that there’s going to be Ladypool, Headpool, Dogpool, and Kidpool. There has been a teaser of a Cowboypool in the preview, and set photos seem to confirm that there will also be a “Handsome Deadpool” played by a non-made up Ryan Reynolds in a wig.

I’ll admit, I have been worried this movie is just going to be a cameo fest like Spider-Man: No Way Home, but after the last trailer, it does look like there are real emotional stakes for both Logan and Wade.

Catch Deadpool and Wolverine when it comes to cinemas on July 26.

Check the trailer for Deadpool & Wolverine out:

Though we know that Wade gets hired by the TVA to be ‘Marvel Jesus’, we also get a bit of background on this version of Logan. It does look like this Wolverine is the reason his world is dead and him teaming up with Deadpool will be his redemption arc.

Besides a lot of Logan, we also get a look at Cassandra Nova (Emma Corrin), who looks to be the main villain of the series. In the comics, Nova is Professor X’s ‘dark twin’ who Xavier tried to kill while they were in the womb together—no, seriously.

It looks like Nova is the one who runs this 20^th Century Fox Marvel wasteland, and we get to see some discarded characters from early X-Men films including Lady Deathstrike (X-Men 2), Azazel (X-Men: First Class), and Callisto (X-Men: The Last Stand). Even when Nova is instroduced, we see her getting off of what some assume is Charles Xavier’s wheelchair.

Of course, we should also expect some references to non-Fox properties in Deadpool &  Wolverine. We get to see Alioth, the cloud monster at the end of time from Loki; and Nova’s base of operations looks to be the dead body of Giant/Ant-Man—something right out of Old Man Logan.

So far, a very obscure cameo-fest looks to be happening, but I am hoping that director Shawn Levy and Ryan Reynolds have a meaningful story in mind for Deadpool’s jump into the MCU. I’m just honestly hoping this doesn’t mean 10 more years of Hugh Jackman as Wolverine because I would love for someone else to finally take on the role.

Deadpool & Wolverine is set to come into theaters on July 26.

Just in, some merch has come out revealing the members of the Deadpool Corps.—several variants of Deadpool from across the Multiverse including Dogpool, Headpool, Kidpool, and Babypool (albeit some glare is blocking him). We also get a better look at Wolverine’s classic cowl complete with the white eyes. Check this out:

Based on what we know from the trailer, Deadpool will be hired by the Time Variance Authority (TVA) for some kind of mission. We don’t know exactly what they want him to do—or how Wolverine factors into this—but we are expecting a nostalgic romp of everything Marvel pre-MCU including characters from the original X-Men films as well as the spinoffs like Daredevil, Elektra, and Fantastic Four.

You think there’s room for Nic Cage’s Ghost Rider in this film?

With a release set for July, we may have to wait t abit more until we get a new trailer. With promos usually being released 4 months and 2 months before, it’s possible we could get a full official trailer with Hugh Jackman and the Deadpool Corps. Sometime before the month ends.

Admittedly, the MCU is not riding as high as it was before, but hopefully Deadpool & Wolverine will manage to bring the hype back to this franchise.

Catch Deadpool & Wolverine when they cut their way into theaters on July 26.
