Deadpool & Wolverine: Initial Reviews Showcase MCU’s Gory Marvelous Team-Up
By ATC
Welcome to the world where superhero films know no borders, ladies and gents. After six years in limbo and a major acquisition, the third entrant in the ‘Deadpool’ series is here. This one’s got a twist: it’s the first officially inducted into the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Buckle up, folks. This isn’t your everyday ride.
A Marvelous Team-Up
The special cherry on top? A buddy-comedy team-up between your favorite R-rated superhero, Deadpool, embodied by the charming Ryan Reynolds, and Hugh Jackman’s Wolverine. (We’ve agreed to mutual amnesia around X-Men Origins: Wolverine. Let’s keep it that way.)
Strap in, because Deadpool & Wolverine hits theaters this weekend. Early reviews are trickling in from the grand premiere. Director Shawn Levy’s daring plunge into entwining Deadpool and Wolverine into the MCU seems to be shaping up just fine. (We’re working on a sharper moniker for Wolverine—cut us some slack.)
A Cut Above the Marvel Movies?
Initial reactions suggest it’s what you’d expect: a jamboree of Easter eggs, surprise appearances, and nostalgia for Fox’s X-Men movies. The chemistry between Reynolds and Jackman is crackling. The film stands firm with its R-rating and plenty of gore—reminding everyone it’s the goriest Marvel movie to date.
Yet, these are early tweeted reviews. Like the first slice of toast, they tend to be more positive. The actual reviews, brewed over serious contemplation, will soon follow.
Here’s a sampler of the initial reactions to Deadpool and Wolverine:
“DEADPOOL & WOLVERINE”
Remember folks, ‘Deadpool & Wolverine’ opens in theaters this Friday. Save the date!
Looking Back Down the X-Men Lane
It’s worth remembering that the Fox X-Men franchise, despite some high points, had its share of forgettable moments. So here’s hoping Deadpool and Wolverine make more lasting impressions. Get ready to return to a world where mutants roam and superheroes play.
