The newly released film 'Deadpool & Wolverine' has shattered box office records, earning $211 million domestically and $233.3 million internationally in its opening weekend, making it the most successful R-rated film debut in history. The film features Ryan Reynolds reprising his role as Deadpool and Hugh Jackman as Wolverine, marking a significant entry into the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Despite mixed sentiments among fans regarding certain aspects of the film, such as the use of a dance double for Reynolds, the overall reception has been highly positive, tapping into nostalgia and humor. The film is noted for its chaotic yet successful approach, being the only Marvel release in 2024 and cleverly integrating characters from previous Fox films. Reynolds and Jackman also promoted the film on late-night television, further capitalizing on the synergy between Disney's media properties. 'Deadpool & Wolverine' has not only revitalized interest in the superhero genre amid perceived fatigue but has also solidified the MCU's status as the highest-grossing film franchise ever.
