‘Deadpool & Wolverine’ brings Ryan Reynolds, Hugh Jackman and some friends to jolt Comic-Con
“Deadpool & Wolverine” has swept through Comic-Con, with its hordes of Marvel fans, with a surprise screening and the film's stars and thousands of fans
SAN DIEGO (AP) — “Deadpool & Wolverine” has arrived — and Comic-Con, with its hordes of Marvel fans, celebrated the only superhero flick of the summer with a surprise screening and special guests.
The sprawling convention celebrating all things pop culture kicked off Wednesday, and a panel celebrating the release of “Deadpool & Wolverine,” was the main attraction for Thursday. Scores of fans sported clothing or costumes featuring the movie's characters.
Ryan Reynolds and Hugh Jackman, who play the titular superheroes, joined director Shawn Levy in the San Diego Convention Center’s famed Hall H Thursday, along with Marvel Studios head Kevin Feige.
To prevent fans from camping out in lines all day to snag a seat, organizers created a lottery system for the chance to win tickets. The venue holds about 6,000 people, and everyone who got in was treated to a screening of “Deadpool & Wolverine,” which Reynolds said was the “worst kept secret on Earth,” as many fans had speculated they would show the full movie. (Note: There's some mild spoilers ahead.)
