A new Marvel movie featuring Deadpool and Wolverine is set to debut on Disney+, setting the stage for the upcoming MCU film starring Ryan Reynolds and Hugh Jackman. Directed by Shawn Levy, this film will bring together two iconic X-Men characters and reintroduce several heroes and villains who have been absent from live-action Marvel movies for some time. The latest trailer for Deadpool & Wolverine teases the return of villains like Lady Deathstrike, Toad, and Azazel, with other surprise appearances expected.
Disney recently announced the addition of the 2003 Daredevil movie, starring Ben Affleck, to its Disney+ lineup. This coincides with the release of an episode of X-Men '97, creating a nostalgic moment for fans of these classic Marvel characters.
While Daredevil and Deadpool & Wolverine may not seem connected at first glance, the multiversal storyline of the latter allows for the inclusion of various Marvel characters from different timelines. The potential appearance of Elektra, played by Jennifer Garner in the Daredevil movie, adds an intriguing layer to the upcoming film's plot.
Despite the mixed reception of the Daredevil movie and its subsequent spinoff, plans for a sequel and a Ben Affleck cameo in Elektra never materialized. However, the inclusion of Elektra in Deadpool & Wolverine hints at a significant role for the character in the new film.
With the concept of the multiverse offering endless storytelling possibilities, Deadpool & Wolverine has the opportunity to breathe new life into characters and storylines from past Marvel films. The return of Elektra and the potential exploration of her character's journey in this new context add depth to the upcoming movie.
As the first film in the Deadpool franchise developed under the Marvel Studios banner, fans can expect a fresh take on the Merc with a Mouth, alongside the return of Wolverine to the MCU. The inclusion of characters like Kingpin, Elektra, and Bullseye from the Daredevil movie adds to the excitement surrounding the upcoming Marvel projects.
