Here are 7 things to know about the upcoming "Deadpool & Wolverine" movie:

Not a Sequel 

While many Marvel fans might expect "Deadpool & Wolverine" to continue the plotlines from "Deadpool" and "Deadpool 2," this film diverges from its predecessors. It primarily explores Deadpool's journey apart from his established family. 

MCU’s New Multiverse Saga 

Hints from the trailer suggest that Deadpool might play a pivotal role in saving the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU). This installment is expected to showcase a more serious and responsible side of the character, potentially moving away from the usual comedic tone. 

Release Date 

After years of anticipation, "Deadpool & Wolverine" is set to hit theaters on July 26, 2024. Fans have eagerly awaited this collaboration between the two iconic characters. 

Wolverine’s Return 

One of the most exciting aspects of the film is the return of Wolverine. This is particularly surprising because Wolverine was killed by his clone X-24 in the 2017 film "Logan." Hugh Jackman's reprisal of the role adds significant buzz to the movie. 

The Villain 

Emma Corrin has been cast as the main antagonist, Cassandra Nova. In the comics, Cassandra Nova is one of the most formidable villains in the MCU, making her a significant threat in the film. 

Potential Storyline 

In an interview with CinemaCon, it was hinted that the audience might see Deadpool dealing with a midlife crisis. This suggests a more introspective and possibly darker narrative for the character. 

Returning Cast 

In addition to Ryan Reynolds as Deadpool and Hugh Jackman as Wolverine, several other familiar faces will return. Leslie Uggams, Karan Soni, Morena Baccarin, Brianna Hildebrand, and Shioli Kutsuna are all set to reprise their roles, bringing continuity and depth to the story.
