Deadpool & Wolverine come back

In addition to the iconic Deadpool series, Deadpool and Wolverine are now working side by side on a mission. The movie Deadpool and Wolverine was released on July 26, 2024, and premiered on July 22, 2024. It came out on Disney+ on July 8th. The casting of this movie includes Ryan Reynolds as Deadpool, Hugh Jackman as Wolverine and the director is Shawn Levy. Shawn Levy is known for films like The Adam Project and Free Guy, which both cast Ryan Reynolds. This made it more enjoyable for Ryan.

The Deadpool movie series dates back to 2016 when the first film was released on February 12, directed by Tim Miller followed by its second movie on May 18, 2018, directed by David Leich. Deadpool’s story begins with Wade Wilson, Deadpool’s original name, where he attempts to treat his cancer through a nonofficial experiment procedure hoping it will save his life. But in the process, it unlocks his latent mutant abilities and cures him. The man leading this experiment does this all out of Wade’s will so Wade gains extraordinary healing powers but leaves him looking disfigured and not pretty. This leads him to adopt his alter ego, Deadpool.

In the latest film, Deadpool and Wolverine work together when Deadpool’s world needs help, then meets Wolverine to save his world from falling apart. Wolverine, originally called Logan is an iconic X-Men character who has mutant abilities and shares a similar past with Deadpool. As the film begins, Deadpool is seen facing a big problem while living his civilian life, his home world is threatened which leads him to finding Wolverine, exploring the different timelines and multiverses to help save his world and the others.

 In the Marvel Universe, Deadpool has always been recognized for his sarcastic personality and his ability to break the fourth wall, which makes him different from the rest of the characters. Throughout this intense and violent film, Deadpool and Wolverine grow a humorous dynamic that adds to Deadpool’s personality and gives the audience something new to look forward to. 

“This movie is funny while also being full of action which makes it a very well-made and good movie, can’t get bored watching it,” said DBHS junior student Alexa William.

The Deadpool and Wolverine film is a mix of intense action and humor as well as emotion. The movie has become a major box office success, getting 79% on Rotton tomatoes. The filming of Deadpool and Wolverine began in May 2023 at Pinewood Studios in England and wrapped in January 2024. The production time was fast, but the production crew, Ryan Reynolds and the cast made it work, staying content with the film’s production. Ever since the release of Deadpool and Wolverine, it has not been said that there would be a film following this one. But many hope this isn’t the end of Deadpool’s reign of adventures.
