Deadpool & Wolverine beats Joker to set a huge new box-office record

As someone who’s been a fan of both Deadpool and Wolverine since the early days of comics, witnessing their on-screen chemistry in Deadpool & Wolverine has been nothing short of exhilarating! The film’s success is a testament to the enduring appeal of these characters, and it’s fascinating to see how they’ve evolved over the years.


Deadpool & Wolverine has made history as it reaches another major box-office milestone.

Kicking off with an impressive $444 million worldwide, the duo of Deadpool & Wolverine surpassed their earlier versions in no time, setting a new record as the highest-grossing Deadpool film during its second weekend.

Presently, as reported by The Walt Disney Company, the Marvel blockbuster has outperformed Joker to become the highest-earning R-rated movie of all time. It has amassed a staggering $1,085.6 billion globally in merely 23 days.

In the third installment of Deadpool, Ryan Reynolds once again takes on the title character, joining forces with Hugh Jackman’s iconic character, Wolverine. Set six years after the occurrences in Deadpool 2, Wade Wilson (played by Reynolds) has embraced a routine life as an auto salesperson. However, when he encounters a personal crisis that challenges his existence, he seeks assistance from Wolverine.

With the release of Pixar’s Inside Out 2, and the success of films like Deadpool & Wolverine, Disney has claimed the number one and two positions in annual box office earnings.

As a die-hard fan, I can’t help but share my excitement about how Marvel Studios chief, Kevin Feige, managed to seamlessly incorporate Deadpool into the Marvel Cinematic Universe. His secret? Simply letting Deadpool be his unapologetic, fourth-wall-breaking self!

Initially, some assumed that since Disney acquired Marvel, they would soften the edgy aspects and make everything suitable for general audiences (G-rated). However, as Feige explained, this was not their plan from the start.

As a devoted gamer, I can assure you that if you’re fretting about Deadpool losing his edge due to Disney, put those fears aside! This guy is still the same R-rated, crude, violent anti-hero we loved from the first two films. Expect plenty of off-color humor, self-referential gags, and the usual fourth-wall-breaking antics while he dismembers his foes with ease.

However, one might wonder about its quality. Nevertheless, “Deadpool & Wolverine” is splendid entertainment, offering two hours of delight for fans, disguised as a summer blockbuster. It’s far from flawless and may not hold up during multiple viewings, but in the heat of the moment, you probably won’t mind.

Deadpool & Wolverine is now playing in cinemas.
