Leaked Deadpool & Wolverine Scene Reportedly Has Deadpool Stabbing TVA Agents With Wolverine's Bones

Marvel Studios reportedly showed 30 to 40 minutes of footage from the opening of Deadpool and Wolverine to fans during an event in Shanghai, and details of exactly what was in that footage have surfaced. There are spoilers ahead, and the details below come from reports on what fans at that screening described seeing.

One of the biggest reveals concerns a scene already glimpsed in the trailers: Deadpool fighting TVA agents in a snowy forest in a bloody, aggressive battle. In the trailers he is not using his katanas, and it turns out why. Apparently he is stabbing the TVA agents with adamantium bones, either dug up or broken off from Wolverine, tied to the ending of Logan where Wolverine dies. "Reportedly that is what is happening in this scene," and a still frame from the trailer does appear to show Deadpool holding a broken adamantium bone in his right hand.

Zombie Wolverine and other Logan variants reportedly appear as Deadpool searches for the perfect Wolverine

The footage reportedly confirmed there are many cameos in the film, including various versions of Logan, among them a zombie version of Wolverine. Fans online have already reacted to that detail with excitement.

My own read on why so many Wolverine variants show up is that Deadpool gets assigned a task by the TVA and then goes universe hopping in search of a Wolverine to help him. That lines up with a plot leak heard a while back stating Deadpool searches for the "perfect" Wolverine but ultimately decides Hugh Jackman's version is the one, and that nobody could replace him.

It is during that universe hopping search, in the first 40 minutes covered by this footage, that the various Wolverine variants and other cameos reportedly appear before Deadpool finally finds Hugh Jackman's Wolverine and they end up back at the TVA, then in the void, fighting each other before Cassandra Nova's people capture them, which matches what has already been shown in the trailers with the two of them tied together in cages.

Rumors point to Henry Cavill and Daniel Radcliffe playing Wolverine variants

There has been a rumor that Henry Cavill will play a variant of Wolverine, and another rumor that Daniel Radcliffe will as well, alongside Hugh Jackman playing variants of himself. Since the footage report also mentions many cameos beyond Wolverine variants, there are apparently other characters showing up during Deadpool's universe hopping search before he finds the Wolverine he is looking for.

A Wolverine versus Hulk fight is reportedly in the film

According to the report on the footage, there is a Wolverine versus Hulk scene. It is still unconfirmed whether that fight happens right after Wolverine fights Sabertooth, but at this point it looks confirmed that the fight happens somewhere in the film. That has led to speculation that when Deadpool tells Wolverine people have been waiting decades for this fight, he may not be talking about Wolverine versus Sabertooth at all, but Wolverine versus the Hulk. Since this comes directly from footage that was shown to fans, it does seem to be official that the Hulk is in the film and that Wolverine fights him.

The footage reportedly blends violent humor with deeply emotional scenes about Wolverine's past

The footage was also described as very violent, which tracks for a Deadpool film even under Disney, alongside being funny with great action sequences, an excellent score, and some deeply emotional scenes. My assumption is that those emotional scenes refer to Wolverine's past, and I have theorized before that Cassandra Nova may have used her telepathy to mind control Wolverine into killing all of the X-Men in his universe. That is my theory, not a confirmed detail, but the emotional weight does seem tied to Wolverine having let down the people he loved.

Deadpool has his own version of that same weight. He loves his friends, but he is also in a dark and weird place: he is depressed, selling used cars badly, Vanessa is with someone else, and his whole universe is about to be destroyed. It is good to hear the film reportedly has some genuine depth rather than being wall to wall jokes and violence.

The footage reportedly confirms all released trailers come from the first 40 minutes

One of the more important takeaways from the report is that the first 30 to 40 minutes are apparently fantastic, described as feeling like a blend of the epic scale of Avengers Endgame and the irreverent humor of Deadpool. That description sounds like a huge event for Marvel Studios while keeping the Deadpool feel from the first two films.

The footage also reportedly confirms that everything shown so far in trailers and TV spots falls within those first 40 minutes, meaning the fans who saw the footage saw nothing beyond what has already been released publicly. For anyone who felt the marketing was giving away too much, that is reassuring, since it suggests Marvel Studios is showing plenty without actually revealing much of the movie itself.

Lady Deadpool's voice reportedly sounds like Blake Lively

Lady Deadpool was also shown but not fully revealed, since she wore a mask throughout her scenes. Her voice reportedly sounded like Blake Lively, Ryan Reynolds' wife, rather than Taylor Swift as many had speculated. Since her face was not seen, it is not confirmed, but it lines up with what fans have been expecting, and it would be very fitting for Ryan Reynolds to play Deadpool opposite his own wife also playing a version of Deadpool.

This report on what was shown at the fan event comes from Maxbiz.com, which also states the same footage was set to screen at further fan events in Seoul, Berlin, and New York City on July 4th, July 7th, and July 22nd respectively, meaning more detailed descriptions of these first 40 minutes could follow from those screenings.

Which of these reported details are you most curious to see confirmed once the film is out?
