As a die-hard Marvel fan who’s been following this universe for over three decades, I can confidently say that Deadpool & Wolverine has become the ultimate game-changer in the MCU. With its record-breaking box office success and now digital sales, it’s safe to say that Ryan Reynolds and Hugh Jackman have delivered a cinematic masterpiece that even the gods of Asgard would envy.
The team-up between Deadpool and Wolverine, an R-rated film, continues to shatter records and is quickly establishing itself as one of the Marvel Cinematic Universe’s (MCU) standout movies.
This year, the film featuring Deadpool and Wolverine hit the big screens, and some people have dubbed it (as well as Deadpool himself) “Marvel’s Savior.” Given its success, this moniker seems quite fitting. The movie has raked in over $1.3 billion at the global box office, setting a new record for highest-grossing R-rated films of all time. Moreover, it demonstrated to Marvel Studios that they could create R-rated movies without them flopping at the box office. By surpassing Iron Man 3, Deadpool & Wolverine now ranks as the seventh highest-grossing film ever made.
It’s been disclosed by Deadline that the digital release of Ryan Reynolds and Hugh Jackman’s MCU movie has set a new record for the highest first-week sales of an R-rated film in the U.S., surpassing Keanu Reeves’ John Wick: Chapter 4. Released for rental or purchase on digital platforms on October 1, Deadpool & Wolverine, directed by Shawn Levy, has been a hit online since then.
When “the movie” debuted in cinemas on July 25th this year, it was long-anticipated comic book film that fans had been eagerly waiting for, seemingly forever. Notably, this was the first R-rated movie in the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU), and it introduced Ryan Reynolds’ Deadpool into the MCU, along with bringing back Hugh Jackman’s Wolverine, albeit not quite forcefully. This was a significant moment for Marvel film enthusiasts worldwide, as it provided the opportunity to see Hugh Jackman reprise his role as Logan (or until he turns 90), and also paved the way for more R-rated Marvel films.
It’s been reported that Marvel Studios is developing several mature-rated projects, following the extraordinary achievement of Deadpool and Wolverine, which were both financially successful and well-received by audiences. There are rumors that a Midnight Sons project has received approval for an R-rating. Additionally, the Daredevil: Born Again series is said to be in production, as it will feature more violence than its predecessors in the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU). This development came after Kevin Feige gave the go-ahead for Reynolds and his team to make a third Deadpool film rated R.
The Blade project, currently on hold, might be moving forward with an R-rated adaptation, according to recent reports. This shift seems fitting given the character’s iconic status in comics. Mahershala Ali remains associated with the project, but there’s a strong desire among fans to see Wesley Snipes reprise his role as Blade. The clamor for this has grown since Snipes made a cameo as Blade in Deadpool & Wolverine, a moment that thrilled comic book movie enthusiasts worldwide.
Deadpool & Wolverine will be available to purchase on 4K Ultra HD, Blu-ray and DVD on October 22.
