Highlights

  • A fan-made LEGO version of Deadpool and Wolverine trailer recreates all details.
  • Deadpool's R-rated future in the MCU was uncertain after Disney's Fox acquisition, but Marvel decided to keep Reynolds' version in the mix.
  • Despite past box office disappointments, fans are eagerly anticipating Deadpool and Wolverine along with Marvel Studios' X-Men content.

The Deadpool and Wolverine trailer already won fans over with its easter eggs and raunchy humor. Now, a talented fan has given fans another reason to revisit the Marvel Studios previews by creating a LEGO version of the Deadpool 3 trailer.

Deadpool and Wolverine marks the Merc with a Mouth's (Ryan Reynolds) MCU debut and Hugh Jackman's welcomed return as Logan. The first Deadpool and Wolverine trailer may have shown that Marvel Studios still has its mojo, but it still kept many elements under wraps, including the onscreen appearance of Jackman's fan-favorite character.

Rumor: An X-Men Character Will Wield Thor's Hammer In The MCU

An X-Men character is rumored to be worthy of holding Thor's hammer in an upcoming MCU project, but how will that storyline unfold?

Still, YouTuber and animator Jekester has given fans a reason to rewatch the trailer by skilfully creating the entire preview with LEGO characters. This is no amateur production, as Jekester has taken care to ensure even the smallest details in the Deadpool and Wolverine trailer are accurately recreated in the LEGO version, from the decorations in Wade Wilson's home to the Secret Wars comic book easter egg in the final shot. Of course, Jekester also refrains from revealing the LEGO version of Jackman's Wolverine, but the end of the video does feature a "Thanks for watching" image that includes a blurry version of the LEGO character in his yellow costume.

The Deadpool and Wolverine trailer's LEGO makeover is undoubtedly on par with similar videos from other fans, including last year's Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse LEGO trailer. It also demonstrates how much excitement there is for the long-awaited Deadpool 3. After Disney acquired Fox and consequently gave Marvel Studios the screen rights to the X-Men and related characters, fans were curious to see if Deadpool would be folded into the MCU or jettisoned so Marvel Studios could restart with their version of the character. Fortunately, Marvel Studios decided to keep Reynolds' version of Deadpool and make the film R-rated, much to fans' delight.

Fans' concerns about Deadpool's future after Disney acquired Fox weren't unreasonable. The possibility of an R-rated Deadpool movie was far from guaranteed considering Disney's family-friendly image, and Marvel Studios' X-Men movie is rumored to be taking a fresh approach by recasting characters. Fortunately, Reynolds' Deadpool will seemingly be folded into the MCU, though it remains to be seen if any other past X-Men actors will join him after Deadpool and Wolverine.

Regardless, with X-Men '97 practically here and Deadpool 3 only four months away, fans are ready to get their mutant fix. Fun videos like the Deadpool and Wolverine LEGO trailer only remind everyone that while Marvel Studios may have had a rough 2023 with box office bombs like Ant-Man 3 and The Marvels, fans are still eager to see what the MCU has in store. Whether Marvel Studios' X-Men content can live up to the expectations, especially after such a long wait, remains to be seen. Still, there's plenty of time for Marvel Studios to recover, and excitement for future projects is still palpable, so fans shouldn't count the company out yet.

Deadpool and Wolverine is scheduled to be released in theaters on July 26, 2024.
