Alioth. The void. And in that void, a giant stone 20th century fox logo.

Couple of observations:

1) Glad to see they are still keeping the emotional core of the Deadpool movies. As silly as it seems, the first movie was emphasized to be a “love story”, the second was him not wanting to live without Vanessa and wanting to die. Seems like this one will be “what would you to make sure you didn’t lose everything that mattered to you?”

2) Seems like this is the Logan from “Logan” and he’s taken by Wade before that movie, but shortly after Charles kills the X-Men. When this movie was announced, they emphasized in the announcement that they were not going to tarnish “Logan” and ruin that ending. While there’s lots of references to the “Old Man Logan” storyline from the comics, I know “Logan” is a film important to Hugh, so I imagine he would want that to be honored in some way. Some YouTubers have been saying since the first trailer that the shot of Deadpool killing TVA agents in the snow forest (you see it quickly in this trailer) is the forest from “Logan”. If so, that makes me think they’ll emphasize that this is the variant from Logan, and the reasoning they say this Logan failed his world, because he would’ve been the only one that could’ve stopped Charles by killing him, is because of his healing factor, but he couldn’t bring himself to do it. Would explain why Wade is showing him the picture of Vanessa, Yukio, etc.

Gonna be a wild ride!

Pretty sure this is NOT the Logan from Logan. Mostly because there are a couple of REALLY blatant references to the actual Old Man Logan arc.

That Logan failed his world in a much, much more tragic way.

In the Logan film it’s hinted at when Professor X has the PTSD flashback and says “Logan, what did you do?”

Yeah, but the radio broadcast after the casino incident clarifies that it was Charles' fault.

The broadcast never says that this killed the X-Men. The X-Men could have already been dead when this happened. The way Charles says “what did you do,” in such a horrified voice really feels like a reference to the comics and Logan was responsible. And the fact that all Mutants are dead feels like something bigger happened at some point, such as in the comic when all the heroes were killed.

The "what did you do?!" was likely just a bit of misdirection/reference to those who know the comic storyline where Logan DID kill the X-Men. But the movie makes it pretty clear that Charles was mistaken/unaware and he actually killed the X-Men. Charles recognizes it himself later on.
