For those attending San Diego Comic-Con, Jack in the Box has a special treat in store. The fast-food chain will release 2,000 limited edition Big AL Packs at an undisclosed location in San Diego during the convention. Each pack features specially curated art of Deadpool and Wolverine from their comics and film adaptations, making it a must-have collectible for fans. Details on the exact location will be revealed on Marvel.com in the coming weeks.

In a nod to Deadpool’s playful nature, Jack in the Box is offering a limited-edition Deadpool-themed antenna ball to the first 100 customers at each store who purchase a Fan Favs Box. This special box includes five southwest chicken Mini Chimi Bang Bangs, curly fries, onion rings, and churros, with a variety of sauces, ensuring fans can indulge in a feast worthy of any mercenary.

The development of a third Deadpool film began at 20th Century Fox in November 2016, but the project was placed on hold after Disney acquired the studio in March 2019. Marvel Studios took over, integrating Deadpool into the MCU while retaining the R rating of the previous films. The film’s development faced several challenges, including the 2023 SAG-AFTRA strike, but filming resumed in November 2023 and wrapped up in January 2024.

Deadpool & Wolverine is set to premiere in New York City before its release in France on July 24, 2024, and in the United States and China on July 26, 2024.
