Hugh Jackman's Wolverine faces off against X-Men villain in new Deadpool teaser

A new teaser for ‘Deadpool and Wolverine’ previews an epic battle between Hugh Jackman's Wolverine and his nemesis

A new teaser for "Deadpool and Wolverine" has set the stage for a long-anticipated clash between Hugh Jackman's Wolverine and his nemesis, Sabretooth. The minute-long trailer starts with familiar scenes, showing Ryan Reynolds' Deadpool reflecting on his found family and blaming Wolverine for his world's destruction. The narrative then shifts to Sabretooth's entrance, underscored by The Alan Parsons Project's "Sirius," famously used as the walkout music for the Michael Jordan-era Chicago Bulls.

Deadpool, true to character, humorously breaks the fourth wall while giving Wolverine a pep talk. He advises, "It's not gonna be easy. You shoot the double, take him down... full mount and you ground and pound until he makes no sound until he's dead." Wolverine's curt response to "shut the fuck up" is met with Deadpool's sheepish, "Good luck, I'm a huge fan."

Leaked set images have hinted at this confrontation, suggesting Wolverine will indeed face off against Sabretooth, his half-brother. The identity of the actor playing Sabretooth remains unclear, though it appears to be more in line with Tyler Mane's portrayal from the original X-Men film rather than Liev Schreiber's later version.

The film, "Deadpool & Wolverine," is slated for release in UK cinemas on July 25 and in the US on July 26. This eagerly awaited film promises to deliver the intense and comedic dynamics fans have come to expect from the Deadpool series, coupled with the dramatic return of Jackman's Wolverine.
