As for the plot of Deadpool’s latest adventure, it would seem his time-traveling exploits at the end of
Deadpool 2, also directed by Levy, have caught the attention of the TVA (Time Variance Authority) from the
Loki series.

Deadpool is “apprehended” and recruited by the TVA for a mission we have no clue about that will take “Marvel Jesus” across different locations where he will eventually meet Hugh Jackman’s Wolverine, finally donning his comic book-accurate X-Men costume.
Jackman makes a minimal appearance in the trailer, but most of Deadpool’s buddies from his previous films do show up at the beginning of the trailer.
