00:00Hugh Jackman is returning as Wolverine for the first time since 2017, and he brought
00:04another claw-wielding mutant with him. The final trailer for Deadpool and Wolverine reveals
00:09a couple of cameos that you won't want to miss.
00:12With just one week to go until the movie hits theaters, Marvel Studios released the final
00:16trailer for Deadpool and Wolverine, and it comes with some pretty big reveals that some
00:20people might even consider spoilers. If you simply can't wait to learn which characters
00:24from Marvel movies past will be making appearances, then the trailer's big moment is worth getting
00:28excited about.
00:29While some of the early footage from Deadpool and Wolverine leaned into jokes about sex
00:32and drugs, the film's final trailer is a bit more serious, at least by Deadpool's standards.
00:37Both Wade and Logan show genuine vulnerability, and as the Wolverine talks about his failures,
00:41it's revealed that the person he's speaking to is a familiar face.
00:44You got the wrong guy.
00:51You were always the wrong guy.
00:52Yes, that's Laura, also known as X-23, from 2017's Logan. Played once again by Daphne
00:59Keen, she's certainly grown up a bit since we last saw her seven years ago. While one
01:03assumes that Marvel is still keeping a lot of this movie's secrets locked up until opening
01:07weekend, they definitely dropped a bomb by revealing Keen at the final hour. It's the
01:10kind of emotional reveal that would get cheers from unsuspecting audiences, but now that
01:14it's out in the open, Keen has plenty to say about her return to the Marvel multiverse.
01:19While many X-Men actors got to enjoy multiple appearances throughout the franchise, Keen
01:23showed up at the very end to give a singular, devastating performance at the age of 11.
01:27At one point, Fox had plans to make an X-23 spinoff movie with director James Mangold
01:32involved, but once Disney purchased Fox, those plans fell through. It seemed like Laura was
01:36gone for good, but when Hugh Jackman changed his mind about retiring from Wolverine and
01:40picked up the claws once again, it only made sense for Keen to follow suit. Up until now,
01:45though, she had to keep her involvement under wraps.
01:47Keen talked about keeping the secret during press for her role in the Star Wars series,
01:51The Acolyte, telling Entertainment Weekly,
01:53"...I got asked in every interview, and I just got to lie, which was really funny."
01:56Even though Keen received no shortage of roles after her appearance in Logan, she was still
02:00upset that X-23's scrapped movie never came to be. She continued,
02:04"...I was quite sad. I was like, oh well, I guess that's it, that's life, and I'll have
02:09to move on. Even though this is one of the greatest characters I'll ever get to play,
02:12And annoyingly, I got to play her at 11. I peaked at 11."
02:16However, Keen's agent had been negotiating in secret with Marvel to get her a part in
02:19Deadpool and Wolverine. When the call finally came in, she was thrilled. She recalled,
02:24"...I immediately screamed. I dropped my phone in the bath. I had to put it in Bryce. It
02:28was a whole thing."
02:29While Keen was nervous to get back into Laura's shoes after all these years, she also said
02:33that it was easy to pick up where she left off with the character. As she put it,
02:36"...As soon as they said, rolling, I really felt like we were back doing Logan. It was
02:40like eight years hadn't passed."
02:42For many, Logan was the perfect send-off to Wolverine, and one of the better comic book
02:46movies ever made. So some fans are worried that Jackman and Keen's returns might cheapen
02:50the 2017 film's tragic ending.
02:52"...He's a hero in my world. Yeah, well, he ain't s----- mine."
02:59Jackman and Keen aren't the only ones who'll be joining the fight in Deadpool and Wolverine,
03:03though. The final trailer offers a little bit more footage of Sabretooth, played by
03:06Tyler Mayne for the first time in over 20 years. There's also a good look at Lady Deadpool
03:11from head to toe, but it's still a mystery who might be under her mask. Theories have
03:14ranged from Blake Lively to Taylor Swift. Or maybe it's just Ryan Reynolds wearing a
03:19wig.
03:20Regardless, it seems like the movie still has a few big reveals up its sleeves. If you
03:23need to know the answer, the wait is almost over. Deadpool and Wolverine hits theaters
03:26on July 26, 2024.
