Deadpool & Wolverine broke records with its first trailer, and now it’s done it again with its second – but not in the same manner. Having been mostly scrupulously clean for the last 16 years, the MCU is about to get a harsh awakening when the Merc With a Mouth brings his F-bomb filled hijinks to the Marvel Cinematic Universe and alters it forever. That has been proven by the second trailer for Deadpool & Wolverine surpassing the unlikely record for the most profane words used in a Marvel trailer ever – shattering the previous record jointly held by…you guessed it, Deadpool and Deadpool 2.
The new Deadpool & Wolverine trailer delivered the first real look at Hugh Jackman back in action as Wolverine, and living up to its red band status, the 2 minutes 38 seconds long trailer packs in no less than 6 F-bombs – more than the entire MCU count of full or cut-off F-bombs to date, as per LadBible. Before the advent of Deadpool & Wolverine, despite some near misses, there has only been one use of the swear word in entirety to have made it into the franchise – in last year’s Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3.
For anyone who needs a reminder, you can rewatch the trailer below and tally them for yourself.
Deadpool & Wolverine is Likely to Set Several New Records This Summer
When it comes to R-rated superhero trailblazers, it is always wise to place your money on Deadpool being front and center. Having already made a name for himself with two immensely successful movies, Ryan Reynolds' character is now dragging Hugh Jackman into his profane world to great effect.
Deadpool & Wolverine has set out its stall as a very distinct movie to any that have come before it in the Marvel franchise. Spanning several universes, bringing back long-lost characters, and promising to bind together many divisions of the expansive MCU, there are a number of records just screaming to be shattered by the movie this summer.
Having been allowed the creative license to deliver the movie he wanted, Ryan Reynolds, together with Jackman and director Shawn Levy, are poised to deliver one of the franchise’s largest earners of the last several years, and potentially one of the highest-grossing R-rated movies of all-time. It is an accomplishment that many have attempted, and many have failed at. It is obvious from the reaction to its trailers, that Deadpool & Wolverine is setting itself up to be a lot of things, but a disaster is not one of them.

The initial trailer for Deadpool & Wolverine was the most-watched movie trailer within 24 hours ever. It is completely anticipated that the movie will surpass the highest-grossing movie in both the Deadpool and Wolverine franchises. Deadpool 2 currently retains the top position with $786.3 million worldwide, while Logan, Jackman's original last solitary venture as Wolverine, garnered $614.2 million. If the movie really finds its audience in the way it is anticipated to, then it could also exceed the $1.078 billion taken by Joker in 2019 to become the highest-grossing R-rated movie in cinema history.
There are likely to be further trailers and glimpses of what is to come, but there are many mysteries that Levy, Reynolds, and Jackman don’t want people to see until the movie reaches cinemas in July. Despite having just one movie release this year, Marvel Studios is going to reap the rewards of finally bringing Deadpool into the MCU all weapons ablaze, and everyone is going to have a ball witnessing it happen.
