“Deadpool & Wolverine” marks the 34th film of the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU), which began in 2008 with “Iron Man”. The title is part of phase five of the franchise and was the studio’s only theatrical release in 2024.
The expectation is that the duo Ryan Reynolds It is Hugh Jackman which had its own franchises under the Fox seal and is introduced to the MCU in this production, regains the power that Marvel held and lost since the end of phase three.
Four MCU films are among the top 10 highest-grossing films in cinema history, three of which are from the “Avengers” saga. The latest film, which premiered in 2019, grossed nearly $2.8 billion (around R$15.5 billion). After the Avengers era, “Spider-Man: No Way Home “, from 2021, was the only production to maintain the level.
Marvel’s latest releases have not attracted the expected number of people to theaters and have begun to lose traction among critics and fans. “The Marvels“ from 2023, had the worst debut in the history of the MCU.
Before the premiere “Deadpool & Wolverine” the director of “X-Men: First Class”, Matthew Vaughn stated that the title will “save the entire Marvel Cinematic Universe.” See all the MCU films and their phases below.
