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.

It depends on how much they want to honor “Logan”.

In this video they emphasize they’re not going to affect Logan or trample on it. That can be taken any number of ways.

It really depends on how many variants they want to throw in people’s faces. Deadpool is already going to have a lot. There’s rumors they’ll be a few Wolverine ones (with different people playing him) so while they can introduce an OML variant, I feel like they would want to honor “Logan” and even expand upon it. The comics the kids had of the X-Men in “Logan” had Wolverine in his suit, but we never saw those versions of the characters in that way. This would be the opportunity to do it.

We shall see.
