Deadpool is attached to Logan after all, though not as a cameo or post-credits sequence. Instead, IGN can confirm that a short teaser plays before screenings of the new Wolverine film, and we have details about what it contains.
Spoilers for the Deadpool 2 teaser continue after the jump.
Shot by Deadpool 2 director David Leitch, the footage serves as a preview for what fans can expect from the next installment in the Ryan Reynolds superhero saga. The scene begins with dirty streets, garbage flying about, and darkly lit, grim vibe of a man walking down a street with a hoodie/hood pulled up. This almost plays off like a trick to make audiences think Logan has begun, until the man pulls back his hood and Wade Wilson is revealed, complete with his deformed face.
The audience sees Wade is listening to "Call Me an Angel," the song from the opening credits in the first Deadpool, but takes out his ear buds when he hears a man cry for help. He says he needs to do something to help, and then John Williams' Superman theme begins playing as he runs down the street to a phone booth. See where this is going?
The big (funny) central gag is that him changing into his costume inside the phone booth is then done in essentially real time. We keep hearing the man yell for help off-camera) while Wade takes off every article of clothing he has on one by one (we see his bare behind up against dirty/cloudy glass), and then struggles to pull on his tight costume in the tiny confines of the phone booth. He's almost done when he hears the scream of the guy yelling for help, indicating he was just murdered.
Now in full Deadpool costume and mask, Wade walks out of phone booth and over to corpse of victim he failed to save, saying how disgusting it is and hemming and hawing an apology. It ends with Deadpool laying down on the street and using the old man's corpse as a pillow, as he makes meta jokes about how unlikely it is there would be a phone booth on a street these days.
The scene then goes to the Deadpool logo (no new title reveal or "2" or anything) and reminds us that it's coming to theaters -- but not soon enough.
There are a few notable Easter eggs, including graffiti with the name "Nathan Summers" on it and a bunch of Firefly posters along a wall, likely as a nod to Morena Baccarin. The biggest hat tip is to Logan itself, as there are posters for the movie and a theater marquee saying "Logan is now showing" in the teaser. Deadpool even mentions Logan by name at one point.
As previously reported, this was shot specifically to be paired with Logan, and is more a tonal tease for Deadpool 2 than a full-blown trailer. We've reached out to 20th Century Fox to try to confirm which markets this teaser is playing in.
With Logan marking the end of Hugh Jackman's journey in the X-Men film franchise, it is smart for Fox to include a tease ahead at the next X-Men cinematic universe movie in the pipeline. Previously Deadpool writers Paul Wernick and Rhett Reese explained the problems with actually putting Wolverine and Deadpool in the same movie, saying it would affect Fox's plans for the franchise.
"There’s not necessarily room for [another] team-up movie," they told The Playlist at the time. "I think it does create real scheduling and universe issues and something that could be ironed out, but it would need to be ironed out."
In other Deadpool 2 news, Stranger Things' David Harbour is the latest actor to be considered for Cable. Cable and Deadpool creator Rob Liefeld also championed Russell Crowe to play Cable on Twitter recently, with Crowe responding by retweeting a piece of fan art depicting him as the character to Liefeld, saying, "Hmmm... @robertliefeld thoughts?"
Logan hits theaters on March 3, while Deadpool 2 is slated for a March 2, 2018 release date.
