Deadpool & Wolverine end their embarrassing streak, Jennie doesn't appear as rumored?

After the world premiere of Deadpool & Wolverine took place in New York, USA, the latest Deadpool movie immediately became a hot topic when it was praised by a series of famous newspapers.

The world knows the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) is in a period of decline, with films failing miserably at the box office and being severely criticized by critics. The latest is the bomb The Marvels (2023) - criticized as the worst in the Marvel superhero universe, with the lowest opening revenue ever, 46.1 million USD in the US and 110 million USD globally. However, Deadpool & Wolverine is believed to end that series of failures, opening a new and promising era for the MCU.

Before debuting in 2016, Deadpool (Ryan Reynolds) did not have too many expectations. However, this ugly and anti-heroic man proved the opposite. The half-good, half-evil personality helped the film earn an impressive domestic opening revenue of 132.4 million USD. Continuing its success, Deadpool 2 reached 137 million USD in 2018.

Returning in the context of the MCU in crisis, Deadpool is no longer alone but has a new and old companion, Wolverine (Hugh Jackman), from Fox's X-Men series. Deadline commented that this is a strange combination, far beyond any wildest imagination but perfect like a dream. In addition to the excellent performances of the two A-list stars, great credit lies in the hands of director Shawn Levy. Having worked with Jackman in Real Steel (2011) and Reynolds in Free Guy (2021) as well as The Adam Project (2022), he knows how to develop the abilities of the two actors and help them create great chemistry. .

Journalist Pete Hammond commented that Reynolds continues to maintain his form by knowing how to fully exploit the character's unique personality, with lines full of sarcasm, bitterness, and bold American popular culture. However, Jackman's return is the brightest point. Deadline's writer declared that the version of Wolverine in the Marvel movie is the strongest incarnation of the Australian actor.

Meanwhile, The New York Post said that Deadpool & Wolverine is the best work Marvel has ever released since Spider-Man: No Way Home (2021). It not only makes the audience laugh but also brings nostalgic feelings through a large number of scenes about old characters.

According to Variety, Deadpool & Wolverine promises to close the July box office in a spectacular way. The film is expected to bring in domestic revenue of 160-170 million USD over the weekend (July 26-28). Some box office experts even believe that certain factors such as the excitement over the return of the Wolverine or the strange pairing of the most unexpected duo and the talk of surprise cameos could Pushing 3-day weekend revenue to 190-200 million USD.

Regardless of the final number, Deadpool & Wolverine is likely to surpass the 2016 Deadpool (more than 132 million USD) to become an R-rated work (not for people under 17 years old) with a large opening revenue. best of all time. Deadpool & Wolverine also easily became the highest-grossing opening of 2024, surpassing another Disney film, Inside Out 2, with $155 million.

At the international box office, the anti-hero blockbuster is aiming for 180-190 million USD in the first week of release. Thus, global revenue as of July 28 is expected to be 350-390 million USD. Disney spent about $200 million to produce and another $100 million to promote the film.

The predictable success of Deadpool 3 has the effect of allaying doubts about the viability of the MCU. Over more than 15 years, the company built a powerful Hollywood empire with 33 films. However, the consecutive failures of Eternals, Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania and The Marvels left the MCU on the brink of extinction. To deal with the crisis, the company tried to slow down the pace of spin-offs, sequels and TV series so that Deadpool & Wolverine would be the only Marvel movie of 2024 - the first time this has happened since 2024. from The Avengers in 2012. This strategy initially showed remarkable effectiveness.

In addition, the hint of Jennie Blackpink's participation also makes the film attract a large amount of interest. However, it seems this was just a hoax.
