Deadpool and Wolverine have taken the world by storm. In just one week since its release, their latest movie has earned over $824 million at the global box office. This success has even surpassed “The Passion of the Christ” on the list of top-grossing R-rated films. With such impressive profits and hype, fans are curious about the future of these beloved characters. This excitement comes at a crucial time, as Marvel has experienced a decline at the box office in recent years, a trend this film has reversed in its first week in theaters.
In a spoiler-filled discussion with Collider’s editor-in-chief, Steve Weintraub, Ryan Reynolds and director Shawn Levy shared some insights into what lies ahead for Deadpool and Wolverine. However, fans should brace themselves for news they might not want to hear. Riding the wave of the third Deadpool film’s success, Reynolds expressed his thoughts:
Disney and Marvel’s Support for ‘Deadpool & Wolverine’.
Reynolds, Levy, and Hugh Jackman, Reynolds’ co-star, pushed Disney to the edge with “Deadpool & Wolverine.” This film marks Marvel Studios’ first venture into R-rated territory, a fact that was widely publicized during its promotion. Despite potential concerns about restrictions, Levy revealed that both Marvel and Disney were supportive throughout the process. They never felt pressured to start another chapter immediately. Levy stated, “A lot of people have asked me, ‘Were you pressured to set up something for Avengers?’ Honestly, neither Disney nor Marvel ever asked us to do anything beyond creating a really satisfying, self-contained story. We made exactly that with their support. So, as for the future, time will tell.”
“Deadpool & Wolverine” is currently playing in theaters.
