Hilarious Promo Video Hints from Deadpool & Wolverine Target Squirrel Girl's MCU Entry
A recent promotional video for the forthcoming Marvel film "Deadpool & Wolverine" has set viewers into a frenzy with a sly allusion to the beloved Marvel Comics character, Squirrel Girl. Ryan Reynolds's Wade Wilson, the Merc with a Mouth, dropped the name Squirrel Girl, a character who has not yet made her official MCU debut, in the video posted on X—formerly Twitter.
The Special Charm of Squirrel Girl in the Marvel Universe
Many comic book readers have fallen in love with Squirrel Girl, a character with eccentric humor and shockingly strong talents. Though she has an unusual name and look, Squirrel Girl has incredible agility and strength as well as squirrel communication ability. She has even vanquished some of Marvel's most powerful enemies in the comics, including Doctor Doom and Thanos, so establishing herself as a strong and sometimes underappreciated hero.
Tongue-in- Cheek Reference by Ryan Reynolds Ignites Fan Interpretation
Reynolds, sporting his iconic Deadpool look, parodies Hugh Jackman's Wolverine in the promotional video as a "boring animal" with a "pungent aroma." The humorous tone changes when Reynolds wonders about the prospect of a "Squirrel Girl team-up" while viewing a dead squirrel. Fans, who are keenly awaiting the possible arrival of Squirrel Girl into the MCU, have been speculating over this subdued mention.
Marvelheads Celebrate the Possibility of a Deadpool and Squirrel Girl Cross-over
Marvel fans have been ecstatic about the film, many of which express their excitement for a possible live-action crossover between Deadpool and Squirrel Girl. On film, the two characters—known for their sarcastic attitudes and funny interpretations of the superhero realm—could provide an interesting and erratic dynamic. The prospect of a team-up has spurred debates on how Squirrel Girl's particular skills and comedic sensibilities could fit the MCU.
Past MCU appearances and canceled plans for Squirrel Girl
Though Squirrel Girl has not yet starred in a live-action MCU film, she was originally intended for a part in Marvel's shelved "New Warriors" series. Cast to portray Squirrel Girl in the series, Milana Vayntrub sadly had her project shelved before it could ever start. This past effort to bring Squirrel Girl to the MCU leaves viewers wondering whether she will at last make her long-awaited MCU debut, so adding still another level of excitement to the recent promotional video.
The Prospect of a Squirrel Girl Cameo in "Deadpool & Wolverine"
Some fans have conjectured that Squirrel Girl might make a cameo in "Deadpool & Wolverine." This would be a lighthearted approach to introduce her to the MCU and hint to a possible future crossover with Deadpool. Given the humorous tone of the movie and Ryan Reynolds' skill for lighthearted surprises, it wouldn't be shocking even if the likelihood of a cameo is still unknown.
