Deadpool & Wolverine gives new look at Hugh Jackman in action-packed trailer
Jackman joins Ryan Reynolds in the first Deadpool film produced by Marvel Studios.
With just three months to go until Deadpool & Wolverine arrives in cinemas, the latest MCU big screen instalment has just released a brand new trailer - and it's just as R-rated and action-packed as fans will have expected.
The new film sees Ryan Reynolds's mutant joining the MCU for the first time, alongside Hugh Jackman's Wolverine.
In the trailer, Jackman's Logan is seen wallowing in a bar, drinking away his sorrows, as the bartender tells him, "You're not welcome here."
Seconds later, Deadpool appears and a tense stand-off occurs, as Logan struggles to fully extend his claws as he seeks to fight back - something Reynolds's Wade Wilson assures him is "quite common in wolverines over 40".
Deadpool points a gun to Wolverine's head, and the latter smiles as he leans forward and stares down the barrel.
You can watch the video in full right here now - but be warned, there's predictably plenty of adult language and violence.
The new footage also sees Jackman in his classic yellow X-Men outfit, as the pair go toe-to-toe after Wilson is told "this Wolverine let down his entire world".
However, by the end of the clip, the titular duo - seemingly reluctantly - team up to protect the loved ones in Wilson's life, including his previously presumed-to-be-dead wife Vanessa (Morena Baccarin).
Outside of Deadpool and Wolverine, we also get a glimpse of Emma Corrin's Cassandra Nova, a Doctor Strange-style portal and a giant Ant-Man-themed settlement. So plenty to get excited about.

The release of the trailer was first teased yesterday (Sunday 21st April), with a clip made up primarily of footage from previous films in the X-Men franchise, along with a new voiceover from Reynolds as Deadpool.
Not only will Deadpool & Wolverine be the first feature film in the history of the MCU to be R rated, expected to be a 15 in the UK, but it is also the only big-screen outing for the franchise releasing this year.
