Wade Wilson’s life hasn’t been the greatest lately. He’s put away his mercenary costume, but things have still gone downhill. His girlfriend left him and is now with someone new. He’s working at a car dealership with a guy named Peter, but business isn’t exactly booming. Oh, and he totally bombed an interview to join the Avengers.
Despite everything, Wade’s got some solid friends by his side. But when the TVA (some time-police folks) nab him and say that his timeline is about to get wiped out, Wade suits up as Deadpool again. He sets off on this wild mission and teams up with a version of Wolverine. After a few false starts, he finds a bummed-out Logan who’s dealt with his own share of failures, and they pair up to take on the TVA.
Things get hairy when both of them end up exiled in “the void,” a doomsday-like place ruled by Alioth—think big scary storm with a wolf face—and Cassandra Nova, who’s Charles Xavier’s evil twin.
“Deadpool & Wolverine” is just what you’d expect: tons of jokes, breaking the fourth wall all over the place, plenty of over-the-top violence, and loads of nods to nerd culture. But instead of poking fun at Marvel-Disney’s world, it fondly tips its hat to Marvel-Fox’s past days. The movie wraps things up with nostalgic credits rolling alongside “Good Riddance (Time of Your Life)” by Green Day — it’s like saying goodbye to those characters who ended up in ‘the void’ after their franchise hit rocky ground.
Alright, imagine this: you’ve got all these unexpected team-ups happening. Now, everyone knows Jennifer Garner’s making a comeback as Elektra, and it’s no secret anymore that Dafne Keen is playing X-23 again. But trust me, there are some wild surprise appearances you won’t see coming. One of the funniest bits? There’s this actor stepping in as a superhero whose movie never happened after being stuck in “development hell” for ages — finally just scrapped.
And hey, while we have our fun with famous stars dropping curse words they’d never say in their Marvel Disney roles, the real heart of the story is Logan’s redemption arc. Hugh Jackman slips back into his Wolverine role, now rocking that iconic yellow costume. But don’t get it twisted; he ain’t exactly bringing sunshine to the character. He’s still gruff and cranky as ever — making him and Deadpool the ultimate odd couple duo. It helps that both Logan and Wade Wilson can heal super fast, so they can beat each other up like crazy without any serious harm — think of those over-the-top cartoon fights.
This whole non-stop action nonsense could be a parody of Hollywood’s obsession with guns and explosions if handled differently. But here in Deadpool’s world? It’s mostly about over-the-top graphic fun with lots of digital gore flying everywhere. Back when Tim Miller directed the first film… oh man, it had such creativity… but let’s save that for another day!
Alright, so picture this: a crazy chase scene on the highway plays out backward, showcasing some jaw-dropping stunts. If David Leitch’s previous sequel had fans thrilled with that epic X-Force massacre, Shawn Levy brings his flair to the table in two standout parts. First, we’ve got this amazing opening where Deadpool goes into battle using just Wolverine’s adamantium skeleton as a weapon. Then, later on, there’s an intense showdown with different versions of Deadpool captured in a sequence reminiscent of classic arcade fighting games.
Emma Corrin throws herself into the role of Cassandra Nova and seems to have loads of fun playing it. Unfortunately, her character kind of gets lost in a script that doesn’t quite know what to do with her. Hugh Jackman gets a bit more respect story-wise, but even his character’s legacy isn’t as pristine as you’d expect. Sure, they confirm his death from Logan is still canon, but bringing back X-23 and using her like this kind of takes away from the impact of her connection to him.
But hey, expecting anything super serious from Deadpool & Wolverine might be aiming too high. This movie is all about packing in tons of cameos, nonstop action without any heavy drama or emotions bogging things down—and let’s not forget—loads of swearing! The real charm is its super snappy dialogue that’ll keep you entertained all the way through.
