Deadpool & Wolverine Film Details
Deadpool & Wolverine is a 2024 American superhero film based on Marvel Comics featuring the characters Deadpool and Wolverine. Produced by Marvel Studios, Maximum Effort, and 21 Laps Entertainment, and distributed by Walt Disney Studios Motion Pictures, it is the 34th film in the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) and the sequel to Deadpool (2016) and Deadpool 2 (2018). The film was directed by Shawn Levy from a screenplay he wrote with Ryan Reynolds, Rhett Reese, Paul Wernick, and Zeb Wells. Reynolds and Hugh Jackman respectively star as Wade Wilson / Deadpool and Logan / Wolverine, alongside Emma Corrin, Morena Baccarin, Rob Delaney, Leslie Uggams, Aaron Stanford, and Matthew Macfadyen. In the film, Deadpool learns that the Time Variance Authority is set to destroy his universe and works with a reluctant Wolverine from another universe to stop them.
Development on a third Deadpool film began at 20th Century Fox by November 2016, but was placed on hold after the studio was acquired by Disney in March 2019. Control of the character and Fox’s X-Men film series was transferred to Marvel Studios, which began developing a new film with Reynolds. It integrates Deadpool with the MCU and retains the R rating of the previous Deadpool films, a first for the MCU. Wendy Molyneux and Lizzie Molyneux-Logelin joined in November 2020 as writers. Reese and Wernick returned from the previous films for rewrites by March 2022, when Levy was hired as director. They, along with Reynolds and Wells, had difficulty figuring out the film’s story until Jackman decided to reprise his role as Wolverine from the X-Men films in August 2022. Several other actors from the X-Men films and other Marvel productions also returned as part of the film’s multiverse story, which serves as a farewell to Fox’s Marvel films. Filming began in May 2023 at Pinewood Studios in England, with additional filming in Norfolk, Los Angeles, and at Bovingdon Film Studios. Production was suspended in July due to the 2023 SAG-AFTRA strike, but resumed in November and wrapped in January 2024. The title was revealed a month later.
Deadpool & Wolverine premiered on July 22, 2024, at the David H. Koch Theater in New York City, and was released in the United States on July 26 as part of Phase Five of the MCU. It grossed over $1 billion worldwide, becoming the second R-rated film to pass the $1 billion mark, after Joker (2019), and is the second-highest-grossing film of 2024.
STORY
CAST
- Ryan Reynolds as Wade Wilson / Deadpool:
A wisecracking mercenary from Earth-10005 with accelerated healing but severe scarring over his body after undergoing an experimental regenerative mutation to treat terminal cancer. Wade begins the film retired from being Deadpool, no longer dating Vanessa, and working as a used car salesman. Writer Rhett Reese described Deadpool as a fish-out-of water in the film, a lunatic dropped into the “sane world” of the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU). Though Reynolds said the audience did not have to take Deadpool seriously, particularly with his fourth wall breaking and unreliable narration, he wanted them to be invested in the other characters. Deadpool’s opening dance number was performed by Nick Pauley, who is credited as “Dancepool”. Reynolds also portrays the variant Nicepool, who has no scars or healing factor, for which he is credited as “Gordon Reynolds”. - Hugh Jackman as Logan / Wolverine:
A former member of the X-Men and a mutant with healing abilities, retractable claws, and an adamantium-infused skeleton. This Wolverine is from an alternative universe where he let down its inhabitants. This, and the pairing with Deadpool, allowed Jackman to explore new aspects of the character than in his prior appearances in 20th Century Fox’s X-Men film series. Jackman said Logan and Wade are opposites and have a “quarreling dynamic”, while director Shawn Levy said their relationship is affected by both characters being “haunted with regret”. To prepare for the role, Jackman began a vigorous workout routine that included eating up to 8,000 calories a day. Jackman also portrays several other Wolverine variants in the film, including: one with the character’s comic book-accurate height of 5 feet 3 inches (160 cm); Wolverine’s gambling alter-ego Patch, who wears an eyepatch and a white tuxedo; an Old Man Logan variant; a variant being crucified on a giant X, reminiscent of the cover of Uncanny X-Men #251; a variant wearing the brown and tan costume from comic book artist John Byrne who fights the Hulk, as the character did in his first appearance in the Incredible Hulk comics; and an Age of Apocalypse variant with “glam rock-like” hair, one hand, and a black and red costume. - Emma Corrin as Cassandra Nova:
A mutant in the Void with telekinetic and telepathic powers, who is the twin sister of Charles Xavier. Corrin was excited to play a villain in the film as they had not played many villainous roles before. Corrin took inspiration from Christoph Waltz’s character Hans Landa in the film Inglourious Basterds (2009), while Reynolds highlighted Corrin’s humanization and the motivation of the character, comparing Cassandra’s “mischief, danger, [and] unpredictability” to the energy of actor Gene Wilder. Reynolds and Levy explained Cassandra to Corrin as someone who would endear and charm you to the point that “you are going to be best friends for life” only to realize she could easily kill you. Corrin was interested in having a physical transformation for the role but was told by the studio that this was not required for the character. Corrin also wanted to pay homage to Patrick Stewart and James McAvoy’s performances as Xavier in previous X-Men films, as well as be faithful to Cassandra’s relationship with him from the comics. - Morena Baccarin as Vanessa Carlysle: Wade’s former fiancée
- Rob Delaney as Peter Wisdom: A car salesman alongside Wade and a member of his X-Force team
- Leslie Uggams as Blind Al: Wade’s blind elderly roommate
- Aaron Stanford as John Allerdyce / Pyro:
A pyrokinetic mutant working for Cassandra in the Void. He wears a more comics-accurate costume than in the films X2 (2003) and X-Men: The Last Stand (2006). - Matthew Macfadyen as Mr. Paradox:
A Time Variance Authority (TVA) agent who oversees an unsanctioned project to speed up the death of Earth-10005 with a “Time Ripper” machine. Paradox hopes to prove himself to become the leader of the TVA.
PRODUCTION
Development
Reynolds revealed in mid-October 2019 that he was meeting with Marvel Studios. At that time, Marvel Studios president Kevin Feige was unsure how to integrate Deadpool into the MCU and was still thinking about how the X-Men and mutants in general would be added to the franchise. Feige described Reynolds as an “idea machine” who pitched many different approaches for the film, including a low budget road trip film with Deadpool and Dopinder that was compared to independent films from the Sundance Film Festival, and one that included a dance number with Wolverine set to “I Guess That’s Why They Call It the Blues” by Elton John. Reynolds also pitched his previous idea for a Rashomon–style team-up film with Wolverine, which would tell one story from three different perspectives. He was told that it would not be possible to include Wolverine in the film. In December, Reynolds confirmed that the “whole team” was actively developing a Deadpool film at Marvel Studios.
Reynolds and Marvel Studios met with potential writers throughout October 2020, including Wendy Molyneux and Lizzie Molyneux-Logelin whose pitch was in line with their intentions for the film. The Molyneux sisters were hired to write the screenplay the next month. Reynolds and Marvel Studios were open to Leitch returning for the film, but he was not expected to due to other commitments throughout 2021 and was not involved in hiring the writers. Leitch later confirmed that he met with Marvel for the film, but both parties understood that scheduling and other commitments would prevent him from returning. In January 2021, Feige reaffirmed that the film would receive an R rating and would be set in the MCU. Reynolds was supervising the scripting process at that time, and Feige said filming would not begin until after 2021 due to Reynolds’s busy schedule. An idea that Reynolds had in 2020 or 2021 was an action sequence set to the song “Like a Prayer” by Madonna. It was intended to follow the death of Colossus from the previous films, which would have motivated Deadpool after being at a low point.
