A new teaser for “Deadpool & Wolverine” confirms the return of a longtime foe of the steel-clawed hero, a famous foe he faced over 20 years ago in the very first “X-Men”…
Dear Logan seems to be ready to face an old adversary again, more than 20 years after their last meeting in the original X-Men from the year 2000. Indeed, on the occasion of the release of Deadpool & Wolverine this month Next, Ryan Reynolds shared a new teaser revealing the reappearance of a certain Sabretooth!
“I don’t think we can add another ‘and’ to the title”, joked Ryan Reynolds by sharing the video on X (formerly Twitter). And yes, Wolverine’s sworn enemy, played for the first time in live action by actor Tyler Mane, made his comeback in the images published this Friday. “Ready to die?” he asks once reunited with Wolverine (Hugh Jackman).

Of course, that’s without counting on Deadpool (Ryan Reynolds), who, before the battle begins, must first prepare his friend.Tu as l’air ridicule”, he said while removing all kinds of swords and knives from the body of the adamantium-clawed mutant. “People have been waiting for this fight for decades. It’s not going to be easy”, he adds knowingly.
Sabretooth is Logan’s most famous adversary in the comics, with the two characters facing off on the big screen in the first X-Men directed by Bryan Singer but Tyler Mane had not resumed his role since: it is now a done deal. In the 2009 prequel X-Men Origins: Wolverine, it was Liev Schreiber who brought the character to life.

He’s not the only one back
Although there have been hints at the return of other characters from previous X-Men films, only Pyro (Aaron Stanford) had been officially confirmed to be cast in Deadpool & Wolverine. The mutant who can control any source of fire was seen in X-MenX-Men 2 and X-Men: The Last Stand. We have no doubt that the film has more surprises in store for us.
In an interview with Entertainment Weekly, director Shawn Levy took the opportunity to tease these potential returns: “I will say that we didn’t start with a wish list. From the day we started designing this Deadpool and Wolverine story, we let the story dictate the characters, not the other way around. Aaron and his return as Pyro are a consequence of this, and it applies to almost every character you’ll see in the film.”
