Prepare your chimichangas and adamantium claws, folks! “Deadpool & Wolverine” has smashed its way onto the big screen, raking in a colossal $211 million at the domestic box office during its opening weekend. This staggering feat catapulted the film to the highest-grossing R-rated movie debut of all time, surpassing the original “Deadpool” which raked in $132.4 million back in 2016.
In this groundbreaking flick, we see both Deadpool and Wolverine making their much-anticipated debut into the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) — a monumental moment made possible thanks to Disney’s acquisition of 21st Century Fox. Notably, “Deadpool & Wolverine” stands out as the first R-rated MCU film, a bold step for Disney, which is no stranger to setting records. This year alone, they broke new ground with the animated masterpiece “Inside Out 2,” now the highest-grossing animated film ever.
For those itching to catch “Deadpool & Wolverine” from the comfort of their couch, patience is key. While the entire Marvel Studios catalog is available on Disney Plus, the release date for this new hit on the streaming service remains under wraps. So for now, a trip to the nearest theater is your best bet to witness the snarky banter and ferocious action of these iconic characters.
The film’s R rating is attributed to its “strong bloody violence and language throughout, gore, and sexual references,” ensuring it stays faithful to the tone fans have come to love. Clocking in at 2 hours and 8 minutes, it’s a high-octane thrill ride from start to finish.
