The Deadpool & Wolverine Trailer Gets A LEGO Remake - And Ryan Reynolds Loves It
The "Deadpool & Wolverine" trailer absolutely blew up the Internet when it debuted during the Super Bowl — to the tune of 365 million views in 24 hours, becoming the most-watched trailer of all time. Anticipation for Ryan Reynolds' latest film sure is high, thanks in part to the project being the first to bridge the gap between 20th Century Studios' roster of "X-Men" characters and the hundreds of characters in the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
In line with previous "Deadpool" films, the threequel won't be kid-friendly — "Deadpool & Wolverine" will also be the first MCU flick to receive an R rating. Despite this, YouTube user Trevor Carlee took it upon himself to re-create its trailer using LEGOs, a video he uploaded just a few days after the Super Bowl. It quickly amassed over 550,000 views on YouTube and drew the attention of Reynolds himself. "My god, this is wonderful. Holy s***. ❤️⚔️❤️," the actor tweeted.
Could we get a LEGO Deadpool Movie?
LEGO is more than just classic toy sets and colorful bricks. Just as popular are its products based on licensed themes, such as "Star Wars," the Wizarding World, and "Indiana Jones." One of the company's most successful partnerships is with DC, having yielded not only numerous direct-to-video titles but also 2017's "The LEGO Batman Movie," which grossed over $310 million worldwide.
With Trevor Carlee's LEGO "Deadpool & Wolverine" trailer receiving considerable fanfare, is it possible that we'll one day see a theatrical "LEGO Deadpool Movie"? The MCU has yet to release an animated film, but "Deadpool" would be the perfect character to start with. The antihero's quippy and self-aware nature could make for an intriguing, family-friendly animated feature.
Seeing as LEGO has seen considerable success in the world of video games with hits like "LEGO Batman: DC Super Heroes" and "LEGO Marvel Super Heroes," it's even possible that we could one day see a "LEGO Deadpool & Wolverine" game grace consoles and PC. Either option would be an interesting way to spice up Marvel's most formulaic fare. "Deadpool & Wolverine" hits theaters on July 26.
