Rumors Reveal the Connection Between The Punisher & Cassandra Nova In the Upcoming ‘Deadpool & Wolverine’

One of the biggest upcoming MCU releases is most certainly ‘Deadpool & Wolverine.’ The movie marks several big things. It’s Deadpool’s first foray into the MCU and also the only MCU movie to be released in 2024, in the hopes of restoring at least some of the faith that the fans of the franchise lost in the last several years due to a string of several poorly received movies.

The recently released trailer also confirmed that several old faces from the ‘Deadpool’ and Fox’s ‘X-Men’ franchises are going to be making a return.

According to the latest rounds of rumors, and one synopsis, ‘Deadpool & Wolverine’ won’t reference only old Fox’s ‘X-Men,’ it’s also going to revisit key moments from phases 1-4 and it’s going to reference The Punisher.

According to MyTimeToShineHello, The Punisher will be referenced in the movie as someone who stood up to Cassandra Nova, but he came back after putting up a fight against her.

The twist in all of this? It’s likely going to be Thomas Jane’s Punisher from the 2004 movie, since in the latest trailer, The Russian can be seen working for Cassandra Nova, and The Russian notably appeared in that movie played by Kevin Nash. As you can see ‘Deadpool & Wolverine’ is weaving quite the net, trying to incorporate as many Marvel-based movies as possible.

It’s unknown whether The Punisher will appear as himself or he will only be mentioned in the passing. ‘Deadpool & Wolverine’ will see Deadpool recruited by the TVA to stop a reality-shattering event and Cassandra Nova, and obviously, Wade will have to recruit Wolverine to help him.

‘Deadpool & Wolverine’ is scheduled to be released on July 26, 2024, as part of Phase Five of the MCU.
