The Merc with the Mouth and the Mutant with the Claws sure are a popular pair. The first trailer for Deadpool & Wolverine, starring Ryan Reynolds and Hugh Jackman’s epic return, shattered records. Dropped during the 2024 Super Bowl, it raked in a mind-blowing 365 million views in just 24 hours, making it the most-watched movie trailer ever, according to both Marvel and Disney.
This massive success has reportedly got Marvel Studios boss Kevin Feige thinking. He’s so impressed with the film that he’s considering shaking things up and adding Deadpool and Wolverine to Avengers 5, instead of saving them for the later Avengers: Secret Wars like initially planned.
Deadpool & Wolverine May Return Before Avengers: Secret Wars
The buzz around the upcoming Deadpool & Wolverine movie is reaching new heights, fueled by an exciting trailer and fans’ eager anticipation. Not only is it set to be a box office hit, but Marvel Studios boss Kevin Feige is apparently so impressed that he wants to bring Ryan Reynolds’ Deadpool and Hugh Jackman’s Wolverine into Avengers 5 even sooner than planned!
According to insider Daniel Richtman, President Kevin Feige was highly impressed by what he saw in Deadpool and Wolverine. As a result, there are discussions about incorporating these iconic characters into the upcoming Avengers installment. Originally, the plan was to introduce Deadpool and Wolverine in the Secret Wars movie, but Feige seems inclined to fast-track their entry into Avengers 5.
The trailer throws us into a multiverse mess. The Time Variance Authority, those TVA guys from Loki, are after Deadpool, calling him “special” and offering him a chance to be a “hero among heroes.” The trailer however doesn’t give us a whole lot of Wolverine action.
It’s worth noting that Deadpool & Wolverine marks a significant shift for the Deadpool franchise, being the first film to be officially part of the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) after the previous films were produced by 20th Century Fox. Moreover, it will be the first R-rated film in MCU history.
Deadpool 3 Becomes the Most Watched MCU Trailer
The trailer for Ryan Reynolds’ upcoming film, Deadpool & Wolverine, has made a historic impact by amassing a remarkable 365 million views within the first 24 hours of its release, according to the statistics shared by The Hollywood Reporter. This staggering figure has propelled it to the status of the most-watched movie trailer in history, surpassing the previously held record by Tom Holland’s Spider-Man: No Way Home.
The impressive view count is not limited to the official trailer on YouTube alone; it also takes into account the viewership from individuals tuning in to the Super Bowl broadcast, which reached an unprecedented 123 million viewers. This broad inclusion of viewership metrics underscores the widespread excitement and anticipation surrounding the Deadpool & Wolverine trailer.
With this much hype and millions of fans buzzing with questions, it looks like Ryan Reynolds might just dethrone Tom Holland at the box office, too. Get ready for some serious box office crushing and an R-rated explosion of action and humor when Deadpool & Wolverine finally slices its way onto the big screen!
Deadpool 3 will be in the theatres on July 26, 2024.
