Wendy Jacobson executive produces Deadpool & Wolverine, which will be released in theaters on July 26. The movie serves as Deadpool’s eagerly anticipated entrance into the Marvel Cinematic Universe, but that’s not all — he’s bringing Wolverine along for the ride! It’s safe to say the MCU will never be the same.

Marvel Studios presents their most significant mistake to date—”Deadpool & Wolverine.” Alistless Wade Wilson toils away in civilian life. His days as the morally flexible mercenary, Deadpool, behind him. When his homeworld faces an existenFal threat, Wade must reluctantly suit-up again with an even more reluctantlier… reluctanter? Reluctantest? He must convince a reluctant Wolverine to—Fuck. Synopses are so fucking stupid.
