FROM the first Deadpool movie, where the sarcastic superhero, brought to life by Ryan Reynolds, insults his idol Wolverine, to now, where they work together in an unlikely duo.
Deadpool’s fourth-wall-breaking, snarky persona mixed with Wolverine’s serious and angsty demeanour makes for a hilarious pairing and a few entertainingly gruesome fight scenes between the frenemies.
Although it takes a while for Deadpool to find Wolverine throughout a range of different universes (yes, the film dabbles in time travel and alternate universes), their journey to save Deadpool’s universe begins. This is until they are sent to the apocalyptic void, ruled by Cassandra Nova, and include a blast from the past for OG X-Men fans, with Elektra, Blade, and Johnny Storm stuck in the void.
Deadpool, Wolverine and Cassandra Nova, along with hundreds of Deadpools from different universes (including Lady Deadpool and Cowboy Deadpool), find a way out of the void before Deadpool’s universe is erased from existence.
Cassandra threatens the pair’s success, and the two heroes nearly die to save the world.
‘Deadpool and Wolverine’ is perhaps one of the MCU’s most anticipated films of this year, which was released on July 26 in Australia.
The film broke a Guinness World Record for the most viewed movie trailer in 24 hours, with 365 million views.
