Other characters that make cameos are Dogpool, a canine variant of Wilson, played by dog actor Peggy, and the mutants Sabretooth, Toad, Lady Deathstrike, and Azazel.
Deadpool & Wolverine Hugh Jackman
Giving his 2 Cents on the Deadpool & Wolverine, Hugh Jackman described both of his roles Logan and Deadpool as opposites with a “quarrelling dynamic” that would not be helpful to Logan. In preparation for the role, Jackman had to commit to a vigorous workout routine which included eating up to 8,000 calories a day. Damn!
Deadpool & Wolverine Shawn Levy
The director of the famous Pink Panther, The Adam Project & Big Fat Liar, Shawn Levy is set to add to his stash of successes after directing Deadpool & Wolverine. His most successful work so far is Stranger Things which won the best episodic drama at the 28th Producers Guild of America award. Levy worked closely with distinguished producers, Kevin Feign, Ryan Reynolds & Lauren Shuler Donner as co-producers on the movie.
Deadpool & Wolverine Trailer
The second trailer for Deadpool & Wolverine provides more details on how the two characters come together compared to the first one. Wade’s mission is to bring Wolverine to the TVA (Time Variance Authority) but they end up either both being sent to the Void or Deadpool changing his mind and teaming up with a different version of Logan.
It is hinted that the Wolverine in the TVA scene might have caused the destruction of his universe, which could explain why he’s open to teaming up with Deadpool to save the multiverse.
