Ever since the end of Avengers: Endgame in 2019, Marvel Studios faced the issue of audiences feeling fatigued with superhero movies. Struggling to come up with films that would suffice fans’ demands, promising MCU movies thus began bombing at the box office. However, currently, after a handful of flop films, the spotlight of hope shifted towards Ryan Reynolds’ upcoming Deadpool 3.
Believing that the film has the potential to bring back the lost stature of Marvel Studios, fans began hoping for Ryan Reynolds’ movie to break records. Not just audiences but even Disney’s CEO Bob Iger shared a similar perspective and hope for the upcoming movie, during his interview with THR. Showering the film with the respect that it deserves, Iger praised Deadpool 3, ahead of its release.
Ryan Reynolds’ Deadpool 3 to Restore Marvel’s Glory
Considering Marvel’s dwindling situation at the box office with rather unpleasant movies like Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania and The Marvels, and the studio’s overall content-wise failure, all eyes are set on Ryan Reynolds‘ Deadpool 3.

Believing in the film’s potential to save Marvel’s grace, fans are now eagerly waiting for Deadpool 3 to hit the theatres.
