Deadpool & Wolverine Variants Revealed by Marvel

Marvel’s Merc with a Mouth is headed back to the big screen very soon, with Deadpool & Wolverine arriving in theaters next month. The Marvel Studios venture is expected to be a bonafide smash at the box office, and a new string of variant covers from Marvel Comics is priming fans for the fun. On Friday, Marvel unveiled the complete set of Deadpool & Wolverine-themed variant covers. These covers will be available on three separate issues of Marvel’s Deadpool ongoing series, as well as future issues of Deadpool Team-Up, Deadpool & Wolverine: WWIII, and Wolverine: Revenge.

The Deadpool & Wolverine movie variant cover for Deadpool #3 is already available wherever comics are sold.

Is Deadpool & Wolverine Set in the MCU?

While both Hugh Jackman’s Wolverine and Ryan Reynolds’ Deadpool originated in the former Fox universe, the trailers for Deadpool & Wolverine have clearly indicated that the characters will be hopping over into the Marvel Cinematic Universe. In an interview last October, Deadpool & Wolverine director Shawn Levy confirmed that the project is definitely set in the MCU. 

“I’m so wary of giving anything away because I’ve learned the hard way that even with a few titles – like any Marvel title – everything and anything you say can lead to not only rumors but misinformation. I’ll just say this: It’s very much part of the MCU, what a privilege, what a wealth of resources and knowledge.”
