Deadpool & Wolverine represents a long-awaited crossover, as well as a return to form for Marvel, which has come under fire for the perceived lack of quality in their latest releases. It has been a very successful comeback for the Merc With a Mouth, as the film grossed $90 million in its second weekend and has already outperformed several top movies.
Per Deadline, Deadpool & Wolverine has already outperformed Deadpool 2 in the domestic box office, and it’s only the second weekend. The film, which stars Ryan Reynolds’ snarky mercenary, teaming up with Hugh Jackman’s iconic metal-clawed superhero, is set to become the highest-earning R-rated film in the US and Canada, surpassing The Passion of the Christ. The film has also overtaken Logan, which had been, by far, the most successful and critically acclaimed Wolverine film made.
Another side of the film’s success is the return of Hugh Jackman as Wolverine. The actor, who has been nominated for multiple Academy Awards, and has won several Tony Awards in his stage-acting career, first played the adamantium-clawed hero in 2000’s X-Men. Jackman has become synonymous with the character, reprising the role across 10 films, including two standalone movies (X-Men Origins: Wolverine and The Wolverine). His appearance in Deadpool & Wolverine also ushers in the introduction of the X-Men and mutants in the Marvel cinematic universe.
