Elliot Chipman: That's Deadpool

Tale

Deadpool is offered a spot in the Marvel Cinematic Universe by the Time Variance Authority, but instead recruits a variant of Wolverine to save his universe from extinction. The Deadpool and Wolverine team up to talk about how they bypassed the risqué jokes, and Emma Corrin opens up about working with good-guy megastars Ryan Reynolds and Hugh Jackman. Hugh Jackman said he was truly done playing the Wolverine character after Logan (2017). He later said he regretted that statement after watching the first Deadpool movie and expressed to Ryan his interest in the two characters meeting on the big screen. When asked why he chose to return for this film, he simply said, "I just wanted to do it, and I felt it in my gut," adding that he wanted to have the best time possible on a movie set with Ryan Reynolds. Likewise, Reynolds had wanted to work alongside Jackman since the first Deadpool movie and was saddened when he (Jackman) stepped away from the role. While Wolverine and Deadpool are on their odyssey in the Honda Odyssey, the car clock jumps forward three hours during their conversation. Kevin Chipman: That's Wolverine.

Fox killed him

Deadpool: You're so right. Disney brought him back. They're gonna keep him doing this until he's 90. "Nicepool" is credited to Ryan Reynolds' fictional twin brother, Gordon Reynolds. Edited from Thor: Svijet tame (2013). Only You (and You Alone) (rerecorded) Written by Buck Ram and Buck Ram (as Ande Rand) Performed by The Platters Courtesy of Cleopatra Records By arrangement with The Orchard. We've waited so long for this moment, and it's been so fun, wholesome, full of surprises, emotional and epic! Ryan Reynolds, Hugh Jackman and Shawn Levy pour their hearts into making this movie what it is.

And the jokes

It goes beyond the MCU timeline, it goes beyond even FOX's "X-Men" movies. It's about all the kids who grew up with these movies and these characters. The kids who are now adults but still love every part of it. You know it's going to be fun with these two, but man... I laughed so hard my stomach felt it. rest assured this isn't Deadpool watered down in the MCU, this is Deadpool at his best. The inevitable bromance unfolding before our eyes. The story is good, nothing special, but you feel it, and knowing the past knowledge of these characters and their respective universes makes it all hit home.

And the cameos, I guess?

Well, we already know a lot of them, but rest assured there are way more and even the ones we already knew are more than meets the eye. Emma Corrin as the villain Cassandra Nova is such a great addition to the movie and the MCU as a whole. She's smart, strong, cold-blooded and even makes fun of our two leads. The action and visuals are beyond amazing. There are some really, really creative scenes where adamantium swords and claws create such chaos, that makes everything so bloody! The music choice is great and fun, sometimes it could kill you. The opening scene is pure gold! I can't say enough good things about the movie, but "Deadpool & Wolverine" is definitely in my top 5 movie experiences, and you can easily guess the others.

What more could you ask for?

The entire theater was laughing, clapping and sobbing as one. Plus, the movie has a rewatch factor, the runtime is perfect and you can be sure it will make a lot of money! You definitely won't catch all the details on your first viewing, but you want to, so you will go again and again... and again. And the end credits scene, you might ask? I kind of don't want to say anything about it because I don't want to spoil the possible direction your thinking is going either. Just stay, even during the credits there is something really beautiful.
