Since Avengers: Endgame, the Marvel Cinematic Universe has struggled at the box office and has received heavy criticism for poor quality. Although some films have seen critical and commercial success, it is a fact that Marvel studios have struggled in the last five years due to many factors, such as too much content, franchise fatigue, and the pandemic, to name a few. But now, in 2024, there is a paradigm shift for the MCU with the long-awaited reunion of The Merc with a Mouth and the Best There Is. Directed by Shawn Levy (Night at the Museum Series, Real Steel & Free Guy), Deadpool and Wolverine ignite a fire in the frozen MCU, strengthening the hope of many fans that the franchise can be at its peak again.

The 34th film in the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) and the sequel to Deadpool (2016) and Deadpool 2 (2018), Deadpool and Wolverine paves the way for beloved X-Men protagonists to be welcomed into the MCU. A perfect blend of superhero, buddy comedy, rated-R action, and character arcs, the film is the movie of the year and one of the finest movies to come out of the MCU in a long time.
