Starting as a Meek Side Character
Remember when we first met Deadpool as Wade Wilson in 2009's X-Men Origins: Wolverine? Just a side character who was done quite wrong by the writers, right? Silencing the Merc with a Mouth didn't go well with fans. It made people question Deadpool's screen life.
Leaked CGI Test Footage
Bringing us out of the deep end, a couple of years later, CGI footage showcasing Ryan Reynolds' voice leaks onto the Internet. Even though it didn't get immediate attention from Fox, fans were thrilled. It showed Hollywood that Deadpool had potential and deserved a shot in the limelight.
Deadpool: Rising Star
Once Deadpool got his own movie, Wade Wilson shot to fame. It showcased the superhero genre could be R-rated and still make a ton of profit. Thanks to the character's charisma (and Ryan Reynolds' charm), parents gave in and let their kids get a glimpse of Deadpool's violent yet comedic world. Yeah, Deadpool isn't exactly clean, but that didn't stop families from enjoying the Merc's colorful antics.
Marvel's Big Comeback
Fast forward to now, and Marvel is set to return big time with “Deadpool & Wolverine” as their only major release of 2024. The film fulfills fans' wishes by uniting Wade and Logan (Wolverine) in one epic adventure – a dream combo we've been yearning for since Deadpool first slashed his way onto the silver screen. Set to be the summer's biggest hit, this movie is creating the same kind of buzz as Tim Miller's “Deadpool”.
Remembering the First Time Around
No one forgets their first time, right? That sentiment holds for Reynolds' debut as Marvel's comical, hyper-violent hero, who is all about finding acceptance (and maybe breaking a few skulls along the way). This film is a tribute to the one that laid Deadpool's foundation and cemented it as a household name.
To the fans that have been waiting since Deadpool's first cut, this film is set to be a game changer. It's also a delightful nod to the superhero attempts of the past and an exciting leap into the future of Marvel's cinematic universe. So, grab some popcorn, hold onto your seats, and let's revisit the magic and mayhem that Deadpool brings!
Can “Deadpool & Wolverine” be dubbed as one of the greatest superhero films ever? Only time will tell, but for now, let's buckle up for the ride.
