Deadpool & Wolverine 2024

Their mission? To enlist Deadpool's, shall we say, "unorthodox" skills. It seems the fabric of reality is at stake, and a series of timeline disruptions threaten to unravel the very existence of the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU). The culprit? Apparently, Deadpool himself, with his penchant for time travel shenanigans in previous escapades.

Enter Wolverine, the gruff and adamantium-clawed mutant. Wolverine, too, is pulled from his current path (likely involving brooding in a remote cabin or dispensing gruff advice in a bar fight) by the TVA. Their offer? Team up with the obnoxious and ever-talking Deadpool to fix the mess he created.

Needless to say, Wolverine is less than thrilled about this partnership. His gruff demeanor clashes hilariously with Deadpool's constant barrage of pop-culture references, fourth-wall breaks, and inappropriate jokes. Their journey takes them through warped realities, alternate timelines, and possibly even encounters with bizarre Deadpool variants.

As they bicker and battle their way through this temporal adventure, they uncover the true mastermind behind the timeline disruptions. Is it a returning villain with a grudge? A cosmic entity messing with the flow of time? The answer, as with most things Deadpool-related, is likely outrageous and unexpected.

Through their forced partnership, Deadpool and Wolverine may even develop a begrudging respect for each other (or at least learn to tolerate each other's presence – a low bar, admittedly). Will they manage to fix the timeline before reality unravels? Will Deadpool ever learn to shut up? These are the questions that "Deadpool & Wolverine" seeks to answer, all while delivering a healthy dose of action, humor, and the trademark fourth-wall-breaking insanity that Deadpool is known for.

The journey to "Deadpool & Wolverine" was a twisting path filled with creative exploration, collaboration, and unexpected turns. Back in October 2019, Ryan Reynolds, the ever-enthusiastic force behind Deadpool, met with Marvel Studios. At the time, integrating Deadpool – known for his R-rated antics – into the family-friendly MCU was a puzzle for Marvel president Kevin Feige. The X-Men, to which Wolverine belonged, were also a question mark within the MCU.

Reynolds, brimming with ideas, threw out several possibilities. He envisioned a low-budget road trip featuring Deadpool and his taxi driver buddy Dopinder, reminiscent of independent Sundance films. Another suggestion included a dance scene between Deadpool and Wolverine, fueled by Elton John's "I Guess That's Why They Call It the Blues." He even revived his previous concept for a Rashomon-style team-up with Wolverine, where the story unfolds from three perspectives. Sadly, the Wolverine inclusion was a no-go.

Development continued, and by December, Reynolds confirmed the team was actively working on the Deadpool film within the MCU. The search for writers led them to the Molyneux sisters in October 2020. Their pitch resonated with the filmmakers, and they were hired the following month. While David Leitch, director of the second Deadpool movie, was open to returning, scheduling conflicts kept him out of the picture.

Fast forward to July 2021. Reynolds and Taika Waititi, director of "Free Guy" (also starring Reynolds), playfully teased the possibility of Deadpool joining the MCU in a commercial. By August, filming was anticipated to begin in 2022, and Feige confirmed an R-rating for the film.

A new chapter began when Reynolds, working with director Shawn Levy on "The Adam Project," pitched him on joining the Deadpool team. Levy, initially hesitant about sequels, warmed up to the idea of a compelling story.

The next big reveal came in September 2022. Reynolds announced Hugh Jackman's return as Wolverine for "Deadpool 3," much to everyone's surprise. This decision stemmed from Reynolds' struggle with the story. He realized that including Wolverine could address the creative roadblocks they were facing. Jackman, who had previously retired from the role, experienced a change of heart. He saw the potential for a fun-filled team-up with Reynolds. Feige initially advised against it, cherishing the finality of Wolverine's death in "Logan." However, the idea of a new version of Wolverine swayed him, and Jackman ultimately committed.

The title of the film remained a point of discussion throughout development. Initially referred to as "Deadpool 3" or "The Deadpool/Wolverine film," it finally landed on "Deadpool & Wolverine" in February 2024. Levy emphasized the film's focus on both characters and its status as a "two-hander" adventure, distancing it from a traditional "Deadpool 3" title. While acknowledging the violence, swearing, and signature Deadpool humor, Reynolds promised that "Deadpool & Wolverine" would be the "most Deadpool movie in the history of Deadpool."
