The video shows the two partners going at each other, even as the rest of the theater tried to enjoy Deadpool & Wolverine. The video has been going viral on Twitter, with the original poster suggesting that the woman in question found out that her partner had been cheating on her. This led to a rather concerning response, as she could be seen going at the man in a rather intimidating manner.

The video eventually panned to the theater screen, which suggested that the ordeal took place within the first quarter of the runtime. Regardless, a range of fans and social media users responded to the tweet, with one claiming that Ryan Reynolds had a different vision for Deadpool & Wolverine:

The film was supposed to bring people together.

A range of other fans also responded to the tweet, with some claiming that the R-rated Deadpool & Wolverine seems to have inspired the woman:

Needless to say, while the particular incident is undoubtedly concerning, Reynolds and Hugh Jackman will not be concerned, considering the kind of response Deadpool & Wolverine has received.

Deadpool & Wolverine did not quite prove to be the kind of undaunting stepping-stone for mutants, that fans were convinced it would prove to be. There were plenty of cameos, a plethora of Wolverine-oriented fight-scenes, and plenty of violent fights between the two superheroes as they attempted to team up for the sake of Deadpool’s universe.

Chris Evans showed up as The Human Torch, Channing Tatum’s Gambit had plenty of scenes, and the likes of Elektra and Blade were also done justice. While in Cassandra Nova fans saw Charles Xavier’s twin sister, her demise meant that there was only limited scope for mutants in the narrative. However, that does not take away anything from the kind of adventurous laugh-riot that Reynolds and Jackman treated their fans to.

Deadpool as a character has till now existed in his own realm, a separate entity from the kind of goody-good superheroes and their struggles that the MCU has generally focussed on.

In that sense, Deadpool & Wolverine exceeded expectations. Not only did it see Wolverine becoming a potential regular fixture in future movies, it had plenty of fan service, and is now set to break multiple box office records (Box Office Mojo) as well.

Deadpool & Wolverine is currently playing in theaters.
