Marvel Cinematic Universe is cooking something big y’all.
The year 2024 is not as stacked as MCU’s calendar usually is. But that doesn’t mean it’s devoid of any weight. Fans are all set to be treated to a movie traversing the story of two of the most loved characters in the history of X-Men – Wolverine and Deadpool. The movie has already generated quite the hype amongst its fans, who couldn’t be more excited to witness the camaraderie and equation between the two, well…, different characters. But right now, the flick is generating hype for another reason altogether.
Deadpool & Wolverine is hitting all the right straps
When fans first learnt that they might be able to witness the return of Hugh Jackman as Wolverine they couldn’t contain their happiness. The joy was quadrupled when they learnt that it would be alongside Ryan Reynolds’ Deadpool. The first trailer of Deadpool & Wolverine attracted everyone’s eyes.
The real treat was yet to come.
The second trailer of the movie directed by Shawn Levy takes a deeper look into the nuances of the characters involved – and a sneak peek at who will be the antagonist the X-Men will square up to. But that was not the only remarkable thing about the trailer.
The new Deadpool & Wolverine trailer had a nice surprise for fans
The new trailer witnesses Logan take the center stage alongside his new partner, battling out with his enemies from this universe. Fans couldn’t help but harp on about seeing their favorite X-Men jump back into the action. But that ain’t the sole thing that the trailer pays homage to.
The return of an iconic star is not the only thing that makes this trailer iconic. What makes really iconic is the background music. Synchronized with every kick and move in the trailer, is Madonna’s iconic song, Like a Prayer (a subtle reference to Deadpool’s Marvel Jesus in the first trailer).

What makes the choice more iconic? It was on the same day all the way back in 1989 that the iconic song began a 6-week run on top of the Billboard Album chart and a 3-week run on top of the Billboard Hot
