Call of Duty Dataminers Unearth What Looks Like an Unannounced Deadpool & Wolverine Crossover

ign.com:

Call of Duty dataminers are doing their thing yet again, this time unearthing what looks like evidence of an unannounced Deadpool & Wolverine crossover coming to Modern Warfare 3 and Warzone.

Dataminers have a long history of discovering files that reveal unannounced content for Activision’s first-person shooter behemoth. The recent Fallout, Gundam, and Warhammer 40,000 crossovers were all datamined ahead of release. There’s even evidence to suggest a The Crow crossover is coming to Call of Duty to coincide with the upcoming The Crow movie reboot starring Bill Skarsgard.

Now, dataminer ‘crashfty‘ has shared brief video clips showing what looks like finishing moves inspired by Ryan Reynolds’ depiction of Deadpool. We see a soldier rest on the ground before executing their enemy, then in another clip they wave sarcastically after the kill — all very Deadpool things.

There’s no word yet on any files that look like they hint at Wolverine executions, however, nor is there word of new skins. But with Deadpool & Wolverine the movie set to come out on July 26, assuming this crossover is real we’ll no-doubt hear more soon.

Modern Warfare 3 and Warzone are currently in the middle of Season 4, with Season 5 expected to launch on July 24, 2024 just ahead of the release of the Deadpool & Wolverine movie. Activision has yet to detail what to expect. It's also preparing to launch Black Ops 6 in October. It's worth noting that Modern Warfare 2 and Modern Warfare 3 content will not carry forward to Black Ops 6.
