“Deadpool & Wolverine” is an upcoming American superhero film that is generating significant excitement due to its combination of two of Marvel’s most popular and irreverent characters: Deadpool and Wolverine.
Plot
Following the success of “Deadpool” in 2016, 20th Century Fox began working on two sequels, with plans for the third film to feature the superhero team X-Force. Consequently, David Leitch was brought on to direct “Deadpool 2” in November 2016, while Fox searched for a new filmmaker for the third installment.
In March 2017, Rhett Reese, co-writer of both “Deadpool” and “Deadpool 2,” revealed that X-Force would be introduced in “Deadpool 2” before starring in a separate spin-off film intended to launch a broader narrative, distinct from the more personal storyline of the third Deadpool film.
The landscape shifted significantly when Disney announced its acquisition of 21st Century Fox in December 2017. Disney CEO Bob Iger confirmed that Reynolds’s Deadpool would be integrated into the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU), despite the MCU’s PG-13 rating and Deadpool’s R-rating. Iger indicated that Disney was open to producing R-rated Deadpool films, provided audiences were informed, and mentioned the potential creation of a “Marvel-R brand” for such characters.
