Deadpool & Wolverine: Overview
Deadpool & Wolverine is an upcoming American superhero film based on the Marvel Comics characters Deadpool and Wolverine, produced by Marvel Studios, Maximum Effort, and 21 Laps Entertainment, and distributed by Walt Disney Studios Motion Pictures. It is intended to be the 34th film in the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) and a sequel to Deadpool (2016) and Deadpool 2 (2018). The film is directed by Shawn Levy from a screenplay he wrote with Ryan Reynolds, Rhett Reese, Paul Wernick, and Zeb Wells. Reynolds and Hugh Jackman star as Deadpool and Wolverine, respectively, alongside Emma Corrin, Morena Baccarin, Rob Delaney, Leslie Uggams, Karan Soni, and Matthew Macfadyen.
Development on a third Deadpool film began at 20th Century Fox by November 2016, but was placed on hold after the studio was acquired by Disney in March 2019. Control of the character was transferred to Marvel Studios, which began developing a new film with Reynolds. It integrates Deadpool with the MCU and is intended to retain the R rating of the previous films. Wendy Molyneux and Lizzie Molyneux-Logelin joined in November 2020 as writers. Reese and Wernick returned from the previous films for rewrites by March 2022, when Levy was hired as director. Jackman decided to reprise his role as Wolverine from Fox’s X-Men films in August 2022. Wells, Reynolds, and Levy were confirmed to be contributing to the script by May 2023. Filming began later that month at Pinewood Studios in England, with additional filming in Norfolk and at Bovingdon Film Studios. Production was suspended in July due to the 2023 SAG-AFTRA strike, but resumed that November and wrapped in January 2024. The film’s title was revealed a month later.
Deadpool & Wolverine is scheduled to be released in the United States on July 26, 2024, as part of Phase Five of the MCU.

Movie Review:
Anything is possible, and it works
X-men buffs know too well that Logan, aka Wolverine, died in the 2017 film ‘Logan’. So, how do you bring him back to life without ‘dishonouring his memory’? Heavy words for a ‘Deadpool’ film, which thrives on irreverent humour, where even words like necrophilia take a funny twist. The very first few scenes, with Deadpool talking to the skeleton of Logan he has just dug out, establish the madcap tone of ‘Deadpool and Wolverine’. Mark the words: “There’s nothing that will bring me back faster than a big bag of Marvel cash.” In line with the earlier ‘Deadpool’ outings, the humour is spot-on and insolent.
If Deadpool/Wade Wilson spells madness, he and Wolverine/Logan are a deadly combination, and Ryan Reynolds and Hugh Jackman a magical one. A blabbering mouth, which we all know Ryan as Wade is, and the quietly strong Hugh as Logan, with sardonic witticism his strong suit, are a perfect foil to each other. Coming back to the original problem, how do you make Logan live again, after we have all bid him a teary-eyed adieu in ‘Logan’?
In the Marvel Cinematic Universe of many verses, anything and everything is possible. Still, for the sake of a plot and not credulity, mind you, there is a Time Variance Authority. Deadpool is summoned by Paradox, who promises to fulfil his ultimate wish, to make him part of the coveted Avengers, provided he is ready to toe his timeline. Some mumbo jumbo about Logan as ‘anchor being’ and obliteration of the world and we are transported to this mishmash of different cinematic universes, which is as crazy as fun. Before we can say the plot thickens, action begins.
Deadpool takes out the ‘worst of all Logans’ to ensure his timeline survives. In the process, we also get to see many versions of Logan. What ensues all through is a volley of jokes and rib-tickling one-liners. Many jibes are directed at the industry and studios too, a majority of which land, provided you are clued in to the X-men and Deadpool world. But even if you are not, lines like a “man with forks for hands”, used to describe Wolverine, are likely to tickle your funny bone.
Not to say that the Shawn Levy directorial is a long litany of gags alone. Action, too, is paramount in this crossover of different worlds as this odd team of two ends up in Void ruled by Cassandra Nova (Emma Corrin). She is the twin sister of Charles Xavier of the X-men series, the founder of the mutant strike force. Cassandra can dig her fingers into people’s heads to extract information and possesses lethal powers otherwise.
The real action is reserved for later when the titular players regroup with a battery of other characters from other movies. Laura from ‘Logan’, Elektra from ‘Daredevil’, Eric Brooks from the ‘Blade’ film trilogy and many more, one could say it’s a crowd out there. But fan service never did fail and always induces mirth and whistle-worthy moments, especially when there is the handsome Chris Evans as Johnny Storm too.
Those of you who don’t believe in ‘what’s in a face’ and are missing the actual good looks of the ‘sexiest man alive’, Ryan Reynolds, take heart. No, the film doesn’t restore his disfigured face, which followers of the ‘Deadpool’ franchise know too well was burnt. But since we are dealing with multiple verses, in one of his avatars, he is at his handsomest best.
Apart from uttering those cheeky lines with panache, Ryan, also one of the co-producers, can take a bow for being part of the writing team (Rhett Reese, Paul Wernick, Zeb Wells and Shawn Lewy). Words rarely feel more light-hearted and pointed at the same time.
A small window alludes to a Wade and Thor union in future outings. But, for now, how the film climaxes needs no elucidation. For, your ‘educated wish’ is as good as ours. The world will be saved, Wade Wilson, aka Deadpool, will matter and Logan might live up to 90 in this new world.
Even if fan service might be a bit excessive, cropping up very other moment, fans are not going to be disappointed as they traverse through a rollercoaster of comedy and action.
‘Deadpool and Wolverine’ runtime revealed! Ryan Reynolds and Hugh Jackman starrer to be longest film in the franchise
The highly anticipated film ‘Deadpool and Wolverine,’ starring Ryan Reynolds and Hugh Jackman, is on a record-breaking spree ahead of its release next month.
According to the latest reports, the film is set to make history as the longest ‘Deadpool’ movie ever. The upcoming superhero film will reportedly have a runtime of 2 hours and 7 minutes, surpassing the lengths of its predecessors.
This update comes after the film became the first movie in the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) to obtain an ‘R’ rating. The studio, which has adhered to PG-13 ratings, will break the mould by bringing “strong bloody violence and language throughout, gore and sexual references” with this Shawn Levy directorial.
That’s not all, the film’s trailer also broke the record for using the most swearwords than the entire MCU combined. If the swear words from thhe trailer itself is added up, it is more than the total of the Fox X-Men, Netflix shows, Disney+ web series and even MCU films.
‘Deadpool and Wolverine‘ will see Hugh return as the Wolverine, seven years after playing the character in the film ‘Logan‘.
The film slated to hit the big screen on 26 July 2024, is touted to play a big part in the Multiverse saga, and the future MCU slate.
Meanwhile, Levy, who is busy putting the final touches on the film, is reportedly in the running to direct the fifth Avengers film. According to the Hollywood Reporter, Marvel and Levy are discussing the idea, and the studio delivered the newest script to the filmmaker late last week. However, insiders claim that other directors are also vying for the high-profile gig.
