Marvel has released a new teaser trailer for Deadpool & Wolverine, exciting fans with the confirmation of a major X-Men character's return. With less than a month until the release of the third installment in the franchise, anticipation is mounting to see how the plot unfolds.

Hugh Jackman and Ryan Reynolds reprise their iconic roles as Wolverine and Deadpool, respectively, in what promises to be a thrilling addition to the Deadpool series. They will unite to combat the malevolent Cassian Nova, portrayed by Emma Corrin. However, Cassandra Nova isn't the only threat in the film; Wolverine's arch-nemesis Sabretooth is also set to return, seeking revenge.


Deadpool & Wolverine trailer introduces Sabretooth

Ryan Reynolds has released a thrilling one-minute teaser for Deadpool and Wolverine, featuring fresh footage, with the movie's release only a few weeks away. In the most recent appearance, Tyler Mane is seen playing Sabretooth from the 2000 X-Men movie, possibly setting up a battle with Hugh Jackman's Wolverine.

In the trailer, Deadpool offers some advice while removing swords from Wolverine’s rapidly healing body. The scene concludes with Wolverine and Sabretooth charging towards each other.

"Ready to die?!" says Deadpool upon seeing Hugh Jackman's Wolverine.

Before the battle, Ryan Reynolds' Deadpool takes a moment to help his friend. "You look ridiculous," the red-suited Merc with a Mouth comments, pulling out various swords and knives lodged in the adamantium-clawed mutant's torso. "People have waited decades for this fight. It's not going to be easy."

In an interview with Entertainment Weekly, director Shawn Levy discussed the cameos, stating that they didn't start off with a wishlist. From the day they started devising this Deadpool and Wolverine story, the story dictated the characters, not the other way around. He also said that Aaron Stanford's return as Pyro was an outgrowth of that, which mostly applies to pretty much all the characters.

Comic book readers are familiar with Sabretooth as Wolverine's archnemesis. Because of their similarities—especially the claws and healing powers—many fans have speculated that the villain could be Logan's father.

Sabretooth is one of the most merciless killers in Marvel's cast of villains. His lethal actions are backed by his mutant physiology, which includes his claws and fangs combined with superhuman agility.

Sabretooth, real name Victor Creed, has a regenerating healing factor that considerably reduces the rate at which he ages. His smile is characterized by his physical mutations, most notably his fangs. Depending on the artistic interpretation, his animalistic characteristics have a range of impacts on his appearance.

In the Marvel Universe, he poses a serious threat to ordinary people because of his extraordinary strength, speed, and agility. Because he enjoys causing death and destruction, Sabretooth is one of the most dangerous enemies facing Marvel's superpowered heroes.
