Marvel Fans Lose Their Minds Over Deadpool"s Squirrel Girl Mention, As Ryan Reynolds Mocks Wolverine
Summary
- Marvel Studios teases Squirrel Girl in a Deadpool & Wolverine promo video, sparking fan interest in a possible crossover.
- Deadpool's voiceover pokes fun at the similarities between Hugh Jackman's Wolverine and a real-life Wolverine.
- Fans speculate on a live-action Deadpool and Squirrel Girl crossover, hoping for a cameo in the upcoming Phase 5 movie.
In a new Deadpool & Wolverine promo video, Ryan Reynolds' Wade Wilson namedrops Squirrel Girl, a famous Marvel character who's yet to make her MCU debut. With Deadpool & Wolverine's July 26 release approaching, Marvel Studios' promotion for the Phase 5 movie is now in full gear.
On X, the official Deadpool Movie account shared a video with the caption "A truly Hugh-nique specimen". The video follows a real-life wolverine in the style of a nature documetary, with Ryan Reynolds' voiceover describing the animal as "kind of a boring animal" with a "pungent aroma". Reynolds then describes Hugh Jackman's Wolverine as "an older male Wolverine, sadly sulking out of its den one last time, probably for a paycheck," and wonders if there could be "a Squirrel Girl team-up" when he sees a dead squirrel.

Marvel fans quickly understood the reference to the superhero Squirrel Girl, whose sense of humor is quite similar to Deadpool's in the source material. Several X users voiced their interest in a hypothetical live-action Deadpool and Squirrel Girl crossover. Curiously, Squirrel Girl was set to star in Marvel's canceled New Warriors show, where actor Milana Vayntrub would play the hero.
One fan suggests Squirrel Girl could show up as early as Deadpool & Wolverine in the form of a cameo and jokes that they won't be able to see such a crossover anyway because they could only afford to watch Alien: Romulus in 2024:
