The trailer also features a nod to Ant-Man, which is in turn connected to the world Wolverine comes from.

“That was always the North Star”: Shawn Levy’s One Guiding Thought Behind Making Deadpool & Wolverine is a Good Thing for The Film
As the tweets indicate, the shot from the trailer left fans worried about Ant-Man’s fate as many X users pointed out that the hero was likely dead. His corpse, including the giant head, was likely used as a base by the minions of the film’s primary villain,who is expected to be Cassandra Nova, the twin sister of Charles Xavier. As a result, it seems Ant-Man was killed in at least one alternate reality.
WhatDeadpool & Wolverine‘s Ant-Man Head Means For the MCU Heroes
The appearance of Ant-Man’s severed head in the trailer forDeadpool & Wolverinequickly sparked a dark fan theory for the MCU heroes. As one user correctly pointed out, the scene was seemingly a reference to Earth-807128, which is the reality wheretheOld Man Loganstorylinetakes place in the comics.
Given that the trailer confirms Wolverine’s home reality was doomed, the reference to theOld Man Loganstoryline makes even more sense. In the comics, Earth-807128 is an alternate reality where most of the Earth’s Mightiest Heroes, including Ant-Man were mascaraed during a battle with Magneto and the Absorbing Man.
Yes it is, there taking inspiration on the Old Man Logan comics where all the heroes are dead.

As a result, the trailer forDeadpool & Wolverineheavily implies that the Avengers existed in the native reality from where Wolverine originates. However, they were likely killed during a conflict, presumably with Cassandra Nova, giving Wolverine the necessary motivation to team up with Deadpool to take down the villain.
Fans are Almost Sure Deadpool & Wolverine will Include Henry Cavill as Ryan Reynolds’ Film Reportedly Undergoes Reshoots
TheOld Man Loganstoryline was previously referenced in 2017’sLogan,Hugh Jackman‘s last appearance as Wolverine before the upcoming return. Therefore, it will be interesting to see if this version of Wolverine is somehow connected to theLoganversion.
