Deadpool & Wolverine Sets Streaming Records

Marvel Studios' 'Deadpool & Wolverine' has achieved remarkable success following its release on Disney+, garnering 19.4 million views in its first six days, making it the most-watched live-action film on the platform since 'Black Panther: Wakanda Forever'. The film has also become the highest-grossing R-rated movie of all time, earning over $1.3 billion at the box office. Its debut on streaming has broken records on both Disney+ and Hulu, surpassing previous viewership milestones. While many celebrate its triumph as a revitalization for the Marvel Cinematic Universe, some critics question its artistic merit, describing it as a corporate strategy rather than a creative endeavor. The film features Ryan Reynolds and Hugh Jackman, with a plot centered around Deadpool's alliance with Wolverine to save the multiverse from an existential threat. With hopes for awards recognition, the film is positioned as a significant entry in the MCU's Phase 5.
