From snikt-snikt to thwip-thwip, the new Deadpool and Wolverine trailer has referenced everyone’s favorite webhead – and it’s got fans clamoring for a crossover.

The new teaser, which you can see below, has plenty of action from Ryan Reynolds’ Merc with a Mouth and Hugh Jackman’s returning Wolverine. In one moment, though, you can see Deadpool mimic Spider-Man’s iconic web-shooting pose. Check it out for yourself at the 35-second mark.

"This just makes me want a Spider-Man/Deadpool crossover movie even more," one wrote on Twitter. Another added, "A Deadpool and Spider-Man movie adaptation will feed families."

That’s echoed elsewhere, with one commenting on the moment: "I’d love a Deadpool & Spiderman movie and I'm sure the world would love one too."

Realistically, Deadpool’s Spidey pose here is nothing more than a cheeky nod – especially as the Marvel/Sony working partnership might not allow for much more than that.

However, there’s a decent chance that an upcoming major Marvel release – say, Avengers: Secret Wars – could bring together a whole host of heroes from across the multiverse, including Deadpool, Wolverine, and multiple Spider-Men.

All being well, we might find out more at next week’s San Diego Comic-Con. A Deadpool and Wolverine special panel, featuring the stars of the movie, has already been announced alongside Marvel’s traditional Hall H blowout.
