The highly anticipated trailer for Deadpool & Wolverine has left fans buzzing with excitement as they dissect the plethora of Easter eggs and references hidden throughout. From subtle nods to iconic moments in the comics to playful winks at pop culture, the trailer is a treasure trove for diehard fans to decipher and theorize about.
One of the most surprising Easter eggs in the trailer involves the iconic song ‘Like a Prayer’ by Madonna. Fans were quick to notice that the song was playing in the background of a key scene, sparking speculation about its significance. Interestingly, it was revealed that the song choice was actually a happy accident, as the release date of the trailer coincides with the song’s historic reign at the top of the Billboard charts 35 years ago.
While some fans speculated that the song choice was a clever marketing stunt, actor Ryan Reynolds shut down the rumors, confirming that it was merely a bizarre coincidence. However, this hasn’t stopped fans from predicting that ‘Like a Prayer’ may once again top the Billboard charts, much like Celine Dion’s ‘Ashes’ did for 2018’s Deadpool 2.
Set to premiere on July 26, 2024, Deadpool & Wolverine has already generated considerable buzz after a nine-minute sneak peek was shown at Cinemacon. Featuring Deadpool’s trademark humor and plenty of action, the trailer promises an epic showdown between the two beloved characters. Fans can’t wait to see what other surprises are in store when the film hits theaters.
