The covers of the upcoming issue ofTotal Filmhave been revealed, and they promise a must-see superhero team-up, asDeadpool and Wolverineunite under the banner of the MCU. Deadpool & Wolverine sees Ryan Reynolds' irreverent supe step into his destiny as the self-appointed ‘Marvel Jesus’, with a new variant of Hugh Jackman’s Wolverine begrudgingly along for the ride. Both feature on the newsstand cover of the new issue which is landing on shelves on Thursday, June 20, with subscribers due to receive their Dogpool-fronted copies shortly.
In Deadpool & Wolverine the merc with a mouth is recruited by the TVA (as featured in Loki) and given the opportunity to join the superhero big leagues, aka the MCU. Also making hisDisney-verse debut for this fourth-wall-breaking mission is Hugh Jackman’s Wolverine, who seems less than thrilled to have Wade Wilson for a partner.
They must team up to take down Emma Corrin’s Cassandra Nova, a mutant with an interesting comic book history, in order to save Wade’s home universe from being wiped out of existence. In the cover story, Total film talks to Reynolds and Jackman, as well as director Shawn Levy, about Deadpool’s unlikely promotion to saviour of the MCU, resurrecting Wolverine on-screen, and the odd couple pairing of the summer.
Look out for more Deadpool & Wolverine exclusives dropping soon. Elsewhere in the issue, we ride out with Kevin Costner and the cast of Horizon: An American Saga, walk the seedy streets of 80s Hollywood with director Ti West and the cast of MaXXXine, talk heists-gone-wrong with Dough Liman and Matt Damon, and celebrate 25 years of The Blair Witch Project. Plus there’s a deep-dive interview with Natalie Portman ahead of Apple TV+ series Lady in the Lake, and new looks at Borderlands, The Rings of Power S2, Cobra Kai’s final season, and loads more besides.
