The entire summer movie season feels like it has been building toward a single event. Deadpool & Wolverine is headed to theaters on July 26, and promises to be a hilarious Deadpool movie and also a potential game-changer for the Marvel Cinematic Universe, which has now acquired 20th Century Fox’s catalog of characters.

The promotion for the movie is ramping up in the days leading up to the event, and a new trailer gives us another look at what the movie has up its sleeve. The promotional materials have leaned heavily into teasing Deadpool’s variants, as Deadpool and Wolverine are expected to spend some time traveling the multiverse in the new film. While there’s a female variant we likely won’t get to see until the movie itself, this latest trailer has revealed that one of Deadpool’s variants will be a little doggy that he carries around. The new trailer also features a sneak peak at Cowboy Deadpool, although once again we don’t get to see who will be playing him.

As you might expect, the trailer is also filled with various jokes and puns from the movie, some of which you may have heard before, and others that are new to this trailer. The folks at Disney are clearly in full-court press mode for this film, and the current tracking suggests the movie could open between $160 and $165 million. Of course, how much the movie actually makes will depend in part on reviews and word of mouth, but there’s certainly plenty of excitement about the return of both Ryan Reynolds’ Merc with a Mouth, and Hugh Jackman’s Logan.

What do the SAG and DGA nominations mean for the Oscars?
'Wicked' led the SAG nominations, but was snubbed by the DGAs
Ralph Fiennes in Conclave.

Two of the most high-profile awards bodies in Oscars season unveiled their nominees today, giving us a firmer sense of which movies are likely to become Oscar frontrunners. The Screen Actors Guild (SAG) Awards are an actor-oriented ceremony, but their membership has major overlap with the Academy. The Directors Guild Awards (DGAs), meanwhile, give us a sense of which directors might wind up nominated for Best Director.

The SAG nominations turned out to be particularly good for Wicked, which received nominations for three of its actors and its ensemble and its stunt performers for a total of five nominations. A Complete Unknown was just behind it with four, including an ensemble nod and three acting nods, and Anora, Conclave, and Emilia Perez rounded out the best ensemble lineup.

This Netflix thriller just became one of the streamer’s most-watched movies ever
The movie has earned favorable comparisons to Die Hard.
Taron Egerton in Carry-On

It turns out people like a good airport thriller. Variety is reporting that Carry-On, Netflix's holiday action movie set largely in an airport, is now the fifth most-viewed English language movie in the streamer's history. Carry-On achieved the designation on Jan. 7, hitting 149.5 million views since its release in December.

“More than the numbers, it’s seeing people’s reactions to the movie,” director Jaume Collet-Serra told the publication following the news. “I started getting a lot of calls and texts from friends and people who didn’t know I directed it. They didn’t know until they saw the credits and they were sending me texts that they loved it. I think at that moment I knew the movie was finding an audience and connecting to it.”
