The final trailer for Deadpool 2, released on Thursday, sees Ryan Reynolds' titular character throwing shade at rival comic book universe DC. In the teaser, Josh Brolin's time-travelling soldier Cable delivers a brutal beating, jamming a knife into Deadpool's neck. 'So dark... you sure you're not from the DC universe?' Deadpool quips, insulting Marvel's competitor.
The trailer also features Deadpool poking fun at his own studio, referring to Brolin's other role as Thanos in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. 'Pump the hate brakes, Thanos!' he tells Cable. Brolin plays the Mad Titan in the upcoming Avengers: Infinity War, now part of the same cinematic universe following Disney's acquisition of Fox.
Auditions for a 'super-duper f***ing group' are shown, with Terry Crews' Bedlam, Lewis Tan's Shatterstar, and Zazie Beetz's Domino making appearances. Domino introduces herself as 'lucky,' but Deadpool scoffs, 'Lucky isn't a superpower, nor very cinematic.' She proves him wrong as a car sails overhead in slow motion.
Action sequences include Cable firing a gun at Deadpool, who slices a bullet in half in slow motion before being hit by the remaining rounds. 'Phew! Your bullets are really fast!' he exclaims. The trailer ends with a final applicant named Peter, who admits he has no superpower but 'just saw the ad.'
Deadpool 2 hits UK cinemas on May 15 and US cinemas on May 18.
