The reveal of the first Deadpool & Wolverine trailer yesterday unleashed a new kind of mayhem on Marvel. The Merc with the Mouth (Ryan Reynold)’s entrance into the MCU—alongside Wolverine (Hugh Jackman), the beloved, be-clawed mutant mauler, no less—was the raunchiest, most foul-mouthed and deliriously unhinged trailer to ever fall under the MCU banner, and that’s by a wide margin.
