Following its world premiere, fans and critics have taken to social media to share their honest reaction to the film which has been lauded for its surprises and for keeping major plot points under wraps.One tweeted, “Trust me, go in blind. DON’T SPOIL YOURSELF. The trailer gave us nothing.”
The movie marks Deadpool’s integration into the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) timeline, after his exit from 20th Century Fox’s ‘X-Men’ universe. This film also sees Hugh Jackman reprising his role as the Wolverine since announcing his retirement from the role in 2017 after the release of the critically acclaimed, ‘Logan‘.
Critics have described the film as the “ultimate team-up throwdown,” highlighting the dynamic duo’s chemistry.
One critic tweeted that the film is “the ultimate Deadpool movie” as much as it is “the ultimate Wolverine movie.”
Another added, “Deadpool and Wolverine is a game changer for the MCU as it is the biggest, boldest, and most badass MCU film since Infinity War and Endgame. Ryan Reynolds and Hugh Jackman are the ultimate duo we’ve all been waiting for.”
The movie has been praised for its humour, heart, and numerous surprises. Jackman’s performance as Wolverine has been particularly highlighted, with one reviewer stating, “Hugh Jackman is incredible and gives yet another amazing performance as Wolverine. Be excited, the MCU is back.”
Another described the film as “a true love letter” to all the fans who have been there since the 20th Century Fox era of Marvel that introduced the X-Men. “Such a weird, bloody, surprising delight,” read a tweet.
The R-rated nature of the movie has been celebrated, with comments like, “This movie knows it’s R-rated in the best way in a Marvel movie. It’s awesome.” Another review called it “a phenomenal tribute to the Fox era of Marvel that sets the stage for big things. Probably the most fun you’ll have this (or any) summer.”
Anticipation is high for Deadpool and Wolverine, which is set to release in theaters on July 26. The film is expected to break box office records in India and around the world. The R-rating for the movie is the first for a ‘Deadpool’ movie and is also the first for the MCU.
According to box office reports, the film is eyeing a record at $132 million opening weekend. One optimistic fan has gone on to predict, “My educated wish is this film makes 2 billion.”
Should the film hit the billion mark, it will be only the 11th MCU film to cross the milestone. According to IMDB, ‘Avengers: Endgame’ that released in 2019, holds the record for the highest-grossing superhero film with a collection of $2.79 billion.
Overall, the early reviews paint a picture of a film that delivers on its promises, providing fans with a thrilling, hilarious, and heartfelt addition to the MCU.
