Ah, Deadpool truly can’t be killed, can he? Seriously, think about this for a moment. Anyone who has ever followed the comic book arc of the Merc With The Mouth knew well before he made his Marvel cinematic debut that Wade Wilson was essentially immortal — having regenerated from decapitations, dismemberments, explosions and the like — but it’s what he did to stay alive following the death (read: buyout by Disney) of 20th Century Fox that forever changed cinema and studio politics.You’d think the absorption of an entire company would instantly serve as the death warrant for its projects and properties and, truth be told, that is almost always the case. In this instance, however, Ryan Reynolds not only suffered cuts from Hollywood’s version of the Muramasa Blade, and survived, but he figured out how to thrive afterward, and in a way that turned the entire superhero genre on its ear by delivering an R-rated masterpiece in 2024, Deadpool & Wolverine, that soared to more than a billion dollars in box office earnings and millions more in streaming profits.The finesse in which Reynolds pulled this all off should be studied in a lab. The award-winning actor was able to maneuver through the fallout of a failing company that had previously served as his one and only shot at finally having his standalone Deadpool project realized, and in a way that not only seamlessly integrated the third installment into the oh-so-protected Marvel Cinematic Universe, but he truly did become Marvel Jesus for Disney in the process.
