The latest trailer for the highly anticipated Deadpool & Wolverine has raised intriguing questions about the fate of Hugh Jackman’s Wolverine and the world he hails from. While the first trailer focused on Wade Wilson’s journey into the Marvel Cinematic Universe, the new footage sheds light on Logan’s tragic backstory, teasing a dark twist that could redefine our understanding of his universe.
In the trailer, we witness a brief yet impactful scene where Wolverine is told that he is unwelcome anywhere, hinting at a catastrophic event that has left his world in shambles. Deadpool and the TVA’s agent Paradox further allude to Wolverine having “let down his entire world,” suggesting that he failed to prevent a cataclysmic occurrence that forever altered the landscape of his reality.
One plausible explanation for this dark turn of events could be the concept of “Incursions” introduced in Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness. In the comics and the MCU, Incursions refer to the collision of two universes, often resulting in the destruction of one or both realities. It’s possible that Wolverine’s world faced such an Incursion, and despite his best efforts, he was unable to save it from annihilation.
The trailer also teases a “third-act flashback” that could shed light on Wolverine’s past, potentially revealing the exact nature of the tragedy that befell his universe. A brief glimpse of Logan falling to his knees in a desolate location further heightens the intrigue surrounding his backstory.
While some fans have speculated that there might be two versions of Wolverine in the film – one from his original universe and another variant trapped in the Void – the trailer seems to suggest that both depictions are of the same character, grappling with the consequences of his failure.
Interestingly, the trailer also confirms the presence of various characters from the Fox X-Men universe, including villains like Lady Deathstrike and Azazel, as well as heroes like Cyclops, Storm, and Professor Xavier. This raises the possibility that Wolverine’s world might be an earlier point in the timeline of the Fox universe, allowing the film to explore the events leading up to the tragic conclusion hinted at in Logan.
As Deadpool & Wolverine delves deeper into the mysteries of the Multiverse, the revelation of Wolverine’s dark past promises to add a compelling layer of depth and emotional resonance to the story. With the fate of his world hanging in the balance, audiences can expect a poignant exploration of heroism, sacrifice, and the consequences of failure in the face of overwhelming adversity
