Are you ready for a cinematic romp through the Marvel Universe that breaks all the rules? This year’s blockbuster hit, “Deadpool & Wolverine” (2024), certainly didn’t hold back, smashing records and delighting fans with its over-the-top antics, all while stirring the pot with Disney. The film, starring Ryan Reynolds as the ever-irreverent Deadpool and Hugh Jackman reprising his role as Wolverine, takes viewers on a wild, timeline-hopping journey to save the Multiverse from the chaotic forces led by Cassandra Nova (Emma Corrin).
From the moments the trailer dropped, Reynolds made no secret of his intent to “make enemies with Disney.” And boy, did the movie deliver! The film pokes fun at Marvel Studios, The Walt Disney Company, and even the traditional post-credits scene—a staple of the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Reynolds’s statement during the promo was as unfiltered as his character, promising to “lower your IQ and raise your heart rate,” perfectly setting the stage for the wild ride that ensued.
Despite being the MCU’s first R-rated entry, the movie found a surprising amount of leeway from Disney. In an interview with etalk, director Shawn Levy shared that they were surprised by the lack of pushback from the studio. “Funny wins,” Levy said, highlighting that humor was the key that allowed them to retain the film’s raunchy and irreverent content. This freedom made way for some of the most memorable jokes and scenes in the franchise, proving that even Disney, known for its family-friendly brand, can have a good laugh at itself.
The film’s release raised many eyebrows, especially among parents, but its success can’t be denied. The audacious final product shows that Disney may just have a more flexible sense of humor than many give it credit for. Reynolds and Jackman’s chemistry, combined with the film’s bold approach, breathed new life into the MCU, even as they gleefully skewered it.
