Deadpool & Wolverine (2024) brings together Ryan Reynolds’ Deadpool and Hugh Jackman’s Wolverine in a multiverse-spanning adventure. The story follows Wade Wilson, who, after retiring from his mercenary life, is approached by the Time Variance Authority (TVA) with an offer to join the Marvel Cinematic Universe. However, upon learning that his universe faces annihilation due to the absence of its “anchor being,” Logan, Wade embarks on a mission to recruit a variant of Wolverine to prevent this catastrophe. This leads to a series of events involving multiverse travel, confrontations with powerful entities like Cassandra Nova, and a deeper exploration of heroism and friendship.

The film is celebrated for its relentless humor, dynamic action sequences, and the chemistry between its leads. Jackman’s portrayal of an emotionally troubled Wolverine adds depth to the narrative, while the film’s self-referential humor and fourth-wall-breaking antics provide a fresh take on the superhero genre. Despite a complex plot that delves into multiverse concepts and numerous character cameos, the movie’s entertainment value and comedic elements have resonated with audiences, contributing to its global box office success of $1.3 billion.
