Why Marvel Fans Are Freaking Out About Ant-Man’s Skull In The Deadpool 3 Trailer

«Old Man Logan» is essential reading to understanding 2017’s «Logan,» but it may also come into play with «Deadpool & Wolverine.» Paradox (Matthew Macfadyen) mentions how this Wolverine let down his universe. «Old Man Logan» sees the character slaughter his fellow X-Men after Mysterio manipulates him. It’s possible «Deadpool & Wolverine» will change this up a bit, and the backstory will be that Wolverine killed the Avengers in his universe after falling under Cassandra Nova’s influence. The movie’s trailer illustrates how she can control him pretty easily.

The giant Ant-Man skull in the «Deadpool 3» trailer isn’t the only cool thing from that shot. People on social media have also pointed out how there’s a bevy of supervillains outside the base. The right side has Azazel with his unmistakable red skin, and the left side seems to have Lady Deathstrike with her claws protruding. It’s unclear if they’re played by the same actors who portrayed them in earlier X-Men films.

Plus, there’s one other spot in the trailer where Ant-Man’s skeleton plays a role. As Deadpool and Wolverine leap into a portal made by sorcerers, they jump from one of Ant-Man’s eye holes. You can see the deceased superhero’s hands in the background when the angle changes. Given how much the trailers have shown already, it’s intriguing to consider what outrageous «Deadpool 3» cameos Marvel Studios is hiding from us.
