New Deadpool 2 Trailer Brings In X-Force

"Isn't that a little derivative?"

Fox

Avengers: Infinity War might be the talk of the town right now, but - just so you don't forget about it - Fox have released yet another trailer for Deadpool 2. It's really quite funny.

In what must be the most revealing look at the sequel to Fox's 2016 hit offered so far, Deadpool himself isn't made the sole focus. Instead, Cable (Josh Brolin), Domino (Zazie Beetz) and the rest of Deadpool's rag-tag band of mutants - AKA X-Force - take centre stage, ensuring the film's ensemble status is clear for all to see.

The trailer also shines a light on the film's once guarded plot, with Cable having come back in time to assassinate (supposedly) Julian Dennison's still unnamed mutant. Deadpool, enlisting the help of some other gifted youngsters, sets out to make sure that doesn't happen, although a twist is likely to factor in at some stage in the story, owing to Cable and Deadpool's long-running (and tested) comic book partnership.

In any case, Deadpool 2 is looking to be just as irreverent, chaotic and action-oriented as its predecessor. Whether or not it's your cup of tea is another thing altogether, but - at the very least - there's no denying the appeal of seeing Terry Crews suit up in the company of Marvel's most magnificent mutants - especially as the X-Force make their cinematic entrance.

Content Producer/Presenter

WhatCulture's very own resident movie guy, Ewan has been working in the content creation biz for over 10 years now, having started as a freelance contributor to WhatCulture Gaming all the way back in 2015. After graduating with a First-Class Honours in History from Northumbria University in 2017 (where he won a prize for a totally killer dissertation on the Watergate years), Ewan took on the role of Comics Editor at WhatCulture and quickly developed WhatCulture Comics into one of the biggest superhero-focused channels on YouTube. He followed this with a brief hiatus at Screen Rant in 2021, where he worked across the Gaming and Film sections as a writer and editor, before returning to WhatCulture as a Senior Content Producer / Presenter in 2023. He started his own podcast, We Love Dad Movies, in 2022, and has contributed several written pieces to the Eisner-nominated comics website Shelfdust as well. In his current role, Ewan incorporates his love of cinema, comic books, and history into written pieces and video essays for WhatCulture's Film & TV channel, as well as WhatCulture Gaming and WhatCulture Horror, with a particular focus on nineties-era Dad Movies, old school Westerns, and Golden Age Hollywood Noir. John Carpenter is his fave, and he thinks Batman Beyond should never have been cancelled. If that's your vibe, you'll probably like his stuff.
