Last night, the news broke that It Ends With Us actor and director Justin Baldoni has officially sued co-star Blake Lively and husband Ryan Reynolds to the tune of $400 million - and it goes well beyond the Nicepool situation!

The lawsuit claims that the couple hijacked his film and attempted to "destroy him with false allegations of sexual harassment." The 179-page complaint also accuses Lively and Reynolds of civil extortion, defamation and invasion of privacy.

You can check out an excerpt from Variety's report below.

"Lively summoned him to her penthouse in New York, where Reynolds and a 'megacelebrity friend' — who appears to be Taylor Swift — both praised Lively’s version. In a later text message quoted in the complaint, Baldoni praised Lively’s contribution, and said he 'would have felt that way without Ryan and Taylor.' In fact, according to the complaint, Baldoni feared that he was being...

Earlier this week, Justin Baldoni's lawyer Bryan Freedman sent a litigation hold letter to Marvel Studios and Disney, demanding that they share all documents relating to the development of the Nicepool character in Deadpool and Wolverine.

In the movie, the Wade Wilson variant has a number of exchanges with the Og Deadpool that certainly could be construed as making reference to some of Blake Lively's accusations against her It Ends With Us co-star and director, and Baldoni is convinced that Reynolds was "flagrantly mocking" him with the creation of the character.

THR has now shared an update, and it seems Freedman believes that the character of Nicepool was developed around the same time Lively and Baldoni's relationship soured during the It Ends With Us shoot. Apparently, Nicepool was created before the rift between the actors, but scenes involving the variant were shot later on, following the November 2023 conclusion of the SAG-AFTRA strike.

As the ongoing legal battle between Blake Lively and her It Ends With Us director and co-star Justin Baldoni continues to heat up, the latter's lawyer has sent a litigation hold letter to Marvel Studios and Disney, demanding that they share all documents relating to the development of the Nicepool character in Deadpool and Wolverine.

In the movie, Wade Wilson (Ryan Reynolds) and Logan (Hugh Jackman) encounter a Multiverse variant of the Merc With a Mouth in the Void. Nicepool is, well, nice, friendly and helpful... and not exactly the sharpest knife in the drawer.

The character has a number of exchanges with the Og Deadpool that certainly could be construed as making reference to some of Lively's accusations against the actor. At one point, Nicepool compliments Ladypool for “snapping back” into shape after giving birth. When Deadpool tells his variant that he's "not sure he can say that," Nicepool...

Though the prospect of Deadpool coming back for a third film would have been enough to draw audiences in, Deadpool & Wolverine upped the movie's box office appeal by bringing back Hugh Jackman to star alongside Ryan Reynolds. Jackman had previously played Wolverine for 17 years before retiring from the role, so his decision to return sent shockwaves among Marvel fans. Apparently, that included Reynolds, who co-wrote the film.

In an interview with IndieWire, the actor revealed that writing "Wolverine dialogue was a terrifying process." Reynolds used this opportunity to heap praise onto his friend and costar Jackman, speaking more specifically about a scene wherein WOlverine gives Deadpool a heavy reality check:

"Hugh took that monologue and just devoured it. He chewed it, swallowed it, and delivered for us…and at the end, there’s a stage direction at the bottom that briefly says after he finishes that whole speech, 'a flicker of regret crosses his pupil.

Superhero movies have a complicated relationship with the Academy Awards. Typically, their nominations tend to be for more technical categories, such as Best Visual Effects. A notable exception to this was Black Panther receiving a nod for Best Picture. Even so, the minds behind Deadpool & Wolverine discussed whether the McU's first R-rated outing could be an Oscars contender, specifically in the "Best Adapted Screenplay" category.

Speaking with IndieWire, director Shawn Levy explained:

"There’s this presumption, because the movie has a bouncy, naturalistic flow to it that, 'Oh, we’re just finding it through improvisation, and we’re trying stuff out on set.' And certainly, there’s a little bit of that, but we refuse to go into production without a script that is honestly 95 percent reflective of the movie that everyone’s seen, and it really was the outgrowth of a long, long writing process."

For his part,...

2024 was never shaping up to be a particularly strong year for comic book-based movies (especially after Marvel Studios announced that only one MCU film would be released), but we weren't expecting it to be quite so disappointing - from a critical or commercial standpoint.

Of the seven CBMs that hit theaters this year, only Deadpool and Wolverine was positively-reviewed, and even that was far what you'd call critically-acclaimed with a 78% on Rotten Tomatoes. The comedic team-up was a massive success at the box office, however, and is now the highest-grossing R-rated movie of all time.

Sony Pictures released three Ssu movies in 2024, Venom: The Last Dance, Madame Web and Kraven the Hunter, and all wound up with a green splat on the review aggregator. The Venom threequel did perform relatively well at the box office, but the others bombed.

We also had a pair of reboots in Hellboy: The Crooked Man and The Crow,...

Hulu is definitely one of the most underrated streaming services out there as it is one of the biggest streaming services in the world but it doesn’t have as much flashy content as its other counterparts like Netflix or Prime Video. If you are a horror fan, then you will find many great shows, including the long-running anthology horror series American Horror Story. So, here are the best horror shows you should check out right now.

Grotesquerie Credit – FX

Grotesquerie is a crime thriller horror drama series created by Ryan Murphy, Jon Robin Baitz, and Joe Baken. The FX series follows Detective Lois Tryon as she teams up with Sister Megan, a local nun, to investigate the mystery behind a heinous crime that is affecting their community and their personal lives. Grotesquerie stars Niecy Nash-Betts, Courtney B. Vance,...

Deadpool & Wolverine proved to be a box office juggernaut as well as a favorite among long-term fans of Marvel films, prompting the question of what comes next for the characters. Ryan Reynolds, the movie's writer, producer, and lead star, gave an interview with The Hollywood Reporter in which he discussed Wade Wilson's future in the MCU and potential as an Avenger. The actor explained his take on a potential sequel as well as why he thinks there shouldn't be another solo Deadpool film:

"I’ve never been so depressed as the day we locked the last reel of Deadpool & Wolverine. Seeing Shawn every day and Hugh in person or on the screen in the edit bay is one of the best times of my life and a memory palace in my mind that I visit every day. I don’t know what the future holds just yet."

"As for Deadpool & Wolverine,...

Since the first trailer for Deadpool & Wolverine dropped, Wade Wilson calling himself "Marvel Jesus" has proven to be one of the film's most memorable lines. The film overall completely demolished the fourth wall with its approach to Marvel's post-Endgame record, which is generally viewed as less successful than the previous decade of films. However, the scene in which Deadpool declares himself the messiah of the Marvel Cinematic Universe is perhaps the most infamous line from the film.

In a recent interview with The Hollywood Reporter, Deadpool himself, Ryan Reynolds, unpacked how Marvel executives felt about the line and its (joking) insinuation that the film would revitalize the MCU. The actor, who also wrote and produced Deadpool & Wolverine, explained:

"'Marvel Jesus' didn’t seem to present an issue. If anything, the studio leaned in. I think most people understood the line in the spirit it was intended. The real surprise was...

After Deadpool & Wolverine brought Ryan Reynolds' Merc with a Mouth into the Marvel Cinematic Universe, speculation as to when and how the character may reappear reached an all-time high. Recently, Reynolds addressed the character's future in Marvel and how he could fit into the franchise's existing teams. Speaking with The Hollywood Reporter, the actor explained:

"There are no updates to share just yet. But I trust Kevin and [Marvel exec] Lou D’Esposito with my life. The character trait I love most about Deadpool is that he’s a fanboy. His enthusiasm and longing to be part of a team is really endearing to me. It’s his overarching wish-fulfillment story. But I don’t think he should ever be an Avenger or an X-Man. If he becomes either, we’re at the end."

When the interviewer prompted him with "Does that mean the character won’t ever be in an Avengers film?...

Ryan Reynolds is once again fundraising for The SickKids Foundation, but this time, he’s got a little help from a DC icon. “Benevolence is thirsty work,” Deadpool says in the opening moments of the video as he walks up to Kidpool sitting in a sleigh. When asked what’s next, Deadpool says, “I thought we’d eliminate sick kids,” which Kidpool thinks is pretty “f***ed up.“

“No, no, no, we’re eliminating the sickness by encouraging people to donate,” Deadpool says, “but we’re going to need some help because you and I are technically R-rated and these are kids, sick kids.” Enter Lynda Carter, which prompts Deadpool to quip, “Aren’t you a wonderful woman,” as he stares directly into the camera. Carter is convinced to do her classic twirl, but instead of the Wonder Woman costume, she winds up wearing the ugly Christmas sweater that Reynolds...

Deadpool and Wolverine star Ryan Reynolds has donned the costume again for a new promotional video, which sees the Merc With a Mouth join forces with the equally foul-mouthed Kidpool (Inez Reynolds) and our original live-action Wonder Woman, Lynda Carter, to help eliminate sick kids... ehhh, make that eliminate the sickness from kids.

The video, which is part of Reynolds and Maximum Effort's annual Christmas campaign in support of The Hospital for Sick Children (SickKids), finds Wade Wilson and his younger variant commandeering Santa's sleigh to deliver gifts in the most haphazard way possible. When Kidpool asks what they should do next, Wilson suggests it's time to tackle childhood sickness.

Deadpool acknowledges that they might be a bit too "R-rated" for the task, and a much more wholesome representative appears in the form of Wonder Woman herself, Lynda Carter.

The Pools ask Carter to "do the thing," but when...

Tye Sheridan played Scott Summers/Cyclops in X-Men: Apocalypse, Deadpool 2, and X-Men: Dark Phoenix.

With the X-Men joining the MCU after Avengers: Secret Wars, fans are still waiting to find out if the old X-Men actors will return or if new ones will take over the roles.

So far, we’ve seen Patrick Stewart reprise his role as Charles Xavier in Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness.

We’ve also seen Beast appear in The Marvels mid-credits scene, played by Kelsey Grammer, who previously played Hank in X-Men: The Last Stand and X-Men: Days of Future Past.

Most recently, many X-Men characters have shown up in Deadpool & Wolverine. Hugh Jackman returned as Logan, Brianna Hildebrand reprised her role as Negasonic Teenage Warhead from Deadpool and Deadpool 2, and we also saw Colossus, Shatterstar, X-23, and Gambit.

One character who hasn’t appeared yet is Scott Summers. He has...

Tye Sheridan portrayed Scott Summers/Cyclops in ‘X-Men: Apocalypse,’ ‘Deadpool 2’ and ‘X-Men: Dark Phoenix.’

As the X-Men are coming to the MCU after ‘Avengers: Secret Wars,’ we are still waiting to hear whether old X-Men actors will reprise their roles or if a new set of actors will join the MCU.

For now, we saw Patrick Stewart reprise his role as Charles Xavier in ‘Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness’.

Then we saw Beast in the mid-credits scene of ‘The Marvels’

Most recently, of course, we’ve seen many X-Men appear in ‘Deadpool & Wolverine.’ Hugh Jackman reprised his role as Logan, and Brianna Hildebrand reprised her role from ‘Deadpool’ and ‘Deadpool 2’ as Negasonic Teenage Warhead. We also saw Colossus, Shatterstar, X-23, and, of course, Gambit.

One of the X-Men who has yet to appear is Scott Summers. The character was previously played by James Marsden, Tim Pocock...

2024 mega success Deadpool & Wolverine doesn't exactly pull its punches, but Shawn Levy revealed that one joke didn't make the cut after Disney insisted it was cut. The offending joke in question has now been revealed, and it's not exactly surprising why it didn't make it, even with Ryan Reynolds and Hugh Jackman's long-awaited team-up coming with an R rating.

Thanks to the now-publicly-available screenplay (via Disney Debut), we now know exactly what the joke was, and why Disney balked at its inclusion. In the exchange between Blade (named Billy in the script to hide his identity) and Wade, in which Deadpool learns that Magneto is already dead, his original reaction was set to include an explicit reference to Mickey Mouse:

"We can't even afford one more X-Man? Disney is so cheap. I can barely breathe with all this Mickey Mouse c**k in my throat.",

Ryan Reynolds previously...

Disney/Marvel Studios clearly gave Deadpool and Wolverine director Shawn Levy and star Ryan Reynolds a lot of leeway when it came to the more risqué material they were able to include in the movie, but there was one joke that evidently went a little too far for a certain studio higher-up.

Back in August, Reynolds revealed that he was asked to take out one particular gag - though he refused to disclose the line at the time, and vowed never to do so.

“There was a note about this one line, and I’ll say this, which is that I was asked to take the line out. I was not even mandated to take the line out. To quote someone in a very high position of leadership at Disney, ‘I’m in for a penny, I’m in for a pound. And if you take it out, I’d love it.

Deadpool and Wolverine star Ryan Reynolds has shared a new video to Instagram, and while we can't actually hear what he's saying, the fact that he's suited-up as the Merc With a Mouth in a Yuletide setting would certainly appear to confirm that a new Special Presentation is on the way.

Last month, Reynolds shared some behind-the-scenes photos of himself alongside Blind Al actress Leslie Uggams, and the Christmas decorations visible in the background led to speculation that they were shooting new scenes for a Holiday Special.

More recently, a rumor did the rounds that a new Marvel Studios-produced Deadpool (and Wolverine?) Special was indeed in the works, though no other details or a potential premiere date were disclosed.

There's a chance this is simply for some kind of Holiday-themed ad campaign, but with Deadpool and Wolverine already available on Disney+ and Blu-ray, we'd say a new Special is more likely.

A great movie musical can truly stand the test of time, although thats only if audiences actually want the movie to be a musical, unlike what happened with the highly divisive release of Joker: Folie Deux. The commercial failure of Joker: Folie Deux proved that not all viewers will respond well to a musical movie sequel and that this is a major risk with a significant chance of backfiring. With this in mind, its interesting to note the movies that would benefit from the musical sequel and imagine how they could successfully carry forward the series' legacy.

The best movie musicals have earned their way into the hearts of viewers who connect deeply with over-the-top theatrical narrative, beautiful renditions of heartwarming ballads, and magnificently choreographed dance routines of awe-inspiring wonder. Turning a non-musical movie into a musical for its sequel wont work with every release, but if they could pull it off,...

Deadpool and Wolverine is still slashing records.

Marvel Studios’ first ever R-rated movie has now become the most-watched live action film across Disney+ worldwide since Black Panther: Wakanda Forever, with 19.4 million views in its first 6 days on the streaming service (this doubles as a live-action pic viewership record for Hulu).

Disney defines a view as total stream time divided by runtime.

Deadpool & Wolverine also became the best-selling R-rated title in its first week on digital platforms in the United Stares back in early October, besting Lionsgate’s John Wick: Chapter 4. The movie debuted on digital on Oct. 1. after a 68-day theatrical window, while for DVD it’s an 89-day window.

Deadpool and Wolverine took in $636.7M at the domestic box office and $1.33 billion worldwide, making it the second highest-grossing movie of 2024 behind Pixar's Inside Out 2 which grossed $652.9M and $1.69 billion worldwide.

Other notable milestones for the superhero team-up include:

— The No.

With a worldwide box office of over $1.3 billion, Deadpool & Wolverine has been a huge success, and it’s also done pretty well on Disney+. According to Disney, the film has garnered 19.4 million views globally in its first six days on the streaming service. A view is defined as total stream time divided by runtime. This makes it the most-watched live-action movie on Disney+ since the streaming release of Black Panther: Wakanda Forever in February 2023.

While these numbers are impressive, they actually pale in comparison to the streaming service’s biggest movie of the year, Inside Out 2, which pulled in 30.5 million views in its first five days on Disney+.

Taking place six years after the events of the last movie, Deadpool & Wolverine finds Wade Wilson (Ryan Reynolds) toiling away in...

On the audio commentary for Deadpool and Wolverine, star Ryan Reynolds reveals that the movie only required a day-and-a-half of reshoots - and the additional scene that was filmed was due to a suggestion from Blake Lively.

The It Ends With Us star played Lady Deadpool, aka Ladypool, in Marvel Studios' first R-rated film, but she also contributed in another way by giving some notes on the ending.

Originally, after Wade Wilson (Reynolds) and Logan (Hugh Jackman) sacrifice themselves to destroy the Time Ripper, we were going to find out that they had survived almost immediately. In the version that was released in theaters, the pair's Goo Goo Dolls-backed entrance is delayed as Paradox (Matthew Macfadyen) makes his speech to B-15 (Wunmi Mosaku), giving the audience more time to ponder their fate.

"We did just a day-and-a-half of reshoots on the movie, which we're very proud of," Reynolds said. "These...

As with any late-stage Marvel Studios production, “Deadpool & Wolverine” arrives with some accompanying homework. These movies aren’t merely standalone adventures, they are plugged into a larger framework of interconnected movies, television shows, sequels and spin-offs.

This is truer now than before, since Disney completed its absorption of 21st Century’s assets in 2019. That means that the Marvel Cinematic Universe, which was previously off-limits to both Deadpool (Ryan Reynolds again) and Wolverine, is fair game and that they have access to virtually every Marvel character.

But what should you actually watch before you see Deadpool and Wolverine team-up for their cross-universe romp? We can help, but this probably constitutes a light spoiler warning. As you can probably imagine, there are a ton of fun cameos from other parts of the MCU (and beyond). We won’t spoil those, but we will allude to more concrete callbacks that will greatly...

"There's only been one Blade. Only ever gonna be one Blade."

When Logan (Hugh Jackman) and the Merc With a Mouth (Ryan Reynolds) are banished to the Void by Mr. Paradox (Matthew Macfadyen) in Deadpool and Wolverine, they discover that a group of Multiverse Variants have banded together to make a stand against Cassandra Nova (Emma Corrin).

Joining Elektra (Jennifer Garner), X-23 (Dafne Keen) and Channing Tatum as Gambit is none other than Blade, played once again by Snipes.

With Mahershala Ali set to take over the role for the upcoming Marvel Studios reboot (the project was recently taken off Marvel's slate but is still said to be very much alive), it was assumed that Snipes' return was more than likely a one-off, but scooper Mttsh is now reporting that the original big-screen Daywalker will be back, and "sooner than we think."

If Snipes was going to reprise the role,...

T.J. Miller wants to return to the Deadpool franchise, and now has a very different opinion of star Ryan Reynolds after previously calling him an "insecure dude" and vowing that he would "not work with him again."

Miller played Weasel in the first two movies, but allegations of sexual assault back in 2017 along with accusations of bullying one of his co-stars on the Silicon Valley TV series pretty much derailed his career.

"As the character, he was, like, horrifically mean to me. But to me. As if I'm Weasel," Miller said of his co-star in a 2022 interview. "He was like, 'You know what's great about you, Weasel? You're not the star, but you do just enough exposition that it's funny and then we can leave and get back to the real movie.'"

It seems Miller and Reynolds may have buried the hatchet, and the former is eager to be...

Netflix’s resident bad boy and heartthrob, Lucifer Morningstar, aka Tom Ellis, created pandemonium when the show first aired. Lucifer started its journey on Fox before unexpectedly facing a cancellation, after which the series found a new home on Netflix.

However, how Ellis received the disappointing news may shock fans as it did him. The Tell Me Lies actor revealed during a podcast appearance that he got the terrible news while celebrating the show’s popularity with fans. The abrupt cancellation caused a massive heartbreak for the star, but fortunately, he didn’t have to wait for long to receive good news.

Ryan Reynolds has addressed the possibility of Deadpool 4 nearly four months after Marvel Studios released Deadpool & Wolverine. The fact that there is a demand for Deadpool 4 so soon should come as no surprise given the immense success of Deadpool & Wolverine. The record-breaking MCU movie has proven that there is still a lot of enthusiasm for the character while also proving that it is still in capable hands now that Deadpool is officially part of the MCU.

After commenting on the positive response to Deadpool & Wolverine, Extra TV suggested in an interview with Ryan Reynolds posted on X that he could film "another one," to which he responded:

"Oh now, bite your tongue. That's uh...I would love that, but there's a reason it's been six years since the last one. It just sort of swallows my life whole, and I have four kids that I want to.

With Deadpool and Wolverine now available to stream on Disney+, Moviefone has shared an exclusive interview with Dafne Keen, who made her return as Laura, aka X-23, in Marvel Studios' first R-rated movie after debuting as the character in James Mangold's Logan.

Keen, who has already expressed interest in reprising her role for more adventures in the MCU, says she "really hopes to get the call... even for just a tiny, silly cameo."

"I've said this a trillion times, I would play Laura for the rest of my life, and I would be content. She's the most incredible character to play.”

The video also includes some behind-the-scenes footage that wasn't in the theatrical release of the movie, and it seems Laura's fireside scene with Logan was originally going to be longer.

We see both characters pop their claws in reaction to someone approaching, and there's also some new dialogue from Laura,...

Ryan Reynolds has taken to Instagram to share another deleted scene from Deadpool and Wolverine, and it's basically a montage of the Merc With a Mouth doing what he does best: annoying the sh*it out of Logan.

The sequence would have taken place after Wade and Wolvie leave the diner (this is where those "piggyback" set photos that did the rounds online during filming originated), and finds Deadpool yammering on about a number of subjects, including Logan's failed relationship with Jean Grey, and the God of Thunder.

Wilson brings up the "why was Thor crying" scene from earlier in the movie, admiring how handsome the Mighty Avenger is up close... while also making fun of his "cheap hair extensions."

It's a fun scene, but doesn't really add anything to the plot, so it's easy enough to understand why Reynolds and director Shawn Levy decided not to include it.

"Siri,...

Before Deadpool & Wolverine became one of the biggest movies of the year, there were many different concepts for what the movie could be, including one that would have revealed that Wade Wilson had been in the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) the entire time.

“We had a ‘Deadpool’s Deleted Scenes Extravaganza’ where we were going to try and show that he was in the MCU the whole time – you just didn’t see his scenes, they were all on the cutting room floor,” executive producer Wendy Jacobson explained on Assembled: The Making of Deadpool & Wolverine, adding they were “really just trying to find a reason for this movie to be.” It would have been a fun idea, but once Hugh Jackman entered the picture as Wolverine, the film found its purpose.

Jacobson mentioned that another concept was a shot-for-shot remake of Thor: The Dark World with Deadpool. It’s...

Deadpool and Wolverine was recently released on Blu-ray (it's also available to stream on Disney+), and some new details about Marvel Studios' first R-rated movie have begun to find their way online thanks to the audio commentaries.

Though this movie marked Wade Wilson's (Ryan Reynolds) MCU debut, producer Wendy Jacobson has revealed that an idea was pitched early on that would have revealed that the Merc With a Mouth was in the Marvel Cinematic Universe "the whole time" via some kind of "Deleted Scene Extravaganza."

It seems the idea was to include a series of scenes from a number of previous MCU films that never made the cut. "You just didn't see his scenes. They were all on the cutting room floor," Jacobson explained.

This sounds like it might have been a fun addition to the movie, but it's easy enough to understand why it was scrapped at the same time.

Deadpool & Wolverine was a smash hit for Marvel. Reuniting Hugh Jackman's Wolverine and Ryan Reynolds' Deadpool led to huge box office returns for the Marvel Cinematic Universe film, becoming the highest-grossing R-rated film of all-time. That financial success was largely the result of Deadpool & Wolverine's positive reception among fans, especially longterm fans of the X-Men franchise.

As a result, audiences are already clamoring for more of the dup. In an interview with Omelete, Marvel Studios president Kevin Feige addressed the possibility of their return:

The plans with Deadpool and Wolverine will always be the same: we're always wondering where we can fit them in, and how fast.

Deadpool & Wolverine 8/10

A follow-up to the highly successful Deadpool and Deadpool 2 films starring Ryan Reynolds as the Merc with a Mouth. The third film will be the first in the franchise to be developed under the Marvel Studios...

Channing Tatum was given the opportunity to take on the role of Gambit in Deadpool and Wolverine, after originally missing out on playing the heroic mutant when Disney acquired 20th Century Fox's assets and brought the studio's X-Men franchise to an end.

Tatum made his MCU debut as Remy LeBeau in the Void, joining Elektra, Blade, and X-23 as members of the Resistance Wade Wilson and Logan encountered when they were stranded by Mr. Paradox.

A recently-released deleted scene from the movie strongly hinted that Gambit will be making his way to Earth-616 via a "Marvel Sparkle Circle" at some point, but we still don't know for sure if Tatum will get to reprise the role.

While chatting to Entertainment Weekly’s Awardist podcast, co-star Ryan Reynolds said he didn't know of any solid plans for Gambit's return, but did mention that the studio is very high on Tatum's take on the Ragin' Cajun.

Before cameras even started rolling on Deadpool and Wolverine, there were rumors that Nicolas Cage was set to reprise his role as Johnny Blaze/Ghost Rider, and we'd later learn that there were indeed early plans to include a version of the character via some officially-released concept art.

Stars Ryan Reynolds and Hugh Jackman joined director Shawn Levy on Entertainment Weekly's Awardist podcast, and Reynolds confirmed that they did reach out to Cage about potentially suiting-up as the Spirit of Vengeance again.

"They were in early drafts. We had versions of that [sequence], but then as it shook out, you're sort of looking...We're trying to make the movie responsibly, as well. It's a big budget. It's the biggest budget of any of the Deadpool movies, but you want to give yourself as much constraint, which really I think facilitates asymmetrical thinking and creativity. If you have too much time or too much money,...

Deadpool & Wolverine proved that Ryan Reynolds and Hugh Jackman (as well as director Shawn Levy) are a force to be reckoned with. It’s only a matter of time before the trio reunite, and that could be coming sooner than we think.

During a recent interview for the Variety Awards Circuit Podcast, Reynolds revealed that he will be spending the year “writing a movie for myself, Hugh [Jackman] and Shawn [Levy] to do that is not Marvel.” He wouldn’t elaborate on what type of project this is, but Variety notes that “his enthusiasm hinted at something fresh and unexpected.“

Although this project isn’t a Marvel movie, there has been speculation that Reynolds and Jackman could return to the MCU for the upcoming Avengers movies. As Deadpool & Wolverine gave Marvel its biggest success in several years, I can’t imagine we’ve seen the last of them.

Related Ryan Reynolds and...

Ryan Reynolds, Hugh Jackman and Shawn Levy are set to reunite for a mysterious new movie... that won't be a Deadpool and Wolverine sequel.

While chatting to Variety, Reynolds revealed that he is currently writing a new project for Levy to direct that he would once again co-star in with Jackman.

“I’m spending the year writing,” said the actor. “I’m writing a movie for myself, Hugh [Jackman] and Shawn [Levy] to do that is not Marvel.”

What it will be is unclear, as Reynolds declined to share any plot details. There's a chance it could turn out to be another comic book-style adventure, but the report notes that Reynolds' "enthusiasm hinted at something fresh and unexpected, which he will work on over the next 12 months."

This project would mark Reynolds’ fourth collaboration with Levy, who previously worked together on 2021’s Free Guy and Netflix's sci-fi adventure The Adam Project.

As you might expect, a lot of people dressed as Deadpool and Wolverine this Halloween, and Ryan Reynolds has now taken to social media to share some of his favourite costumes.

There are some really impressive outfits here, including a Deadpool-Wolverine amalgam, and a couple who decided to go as Cassandra Nova and Johnny Storm.

Speaking of the movie's villain and the unfortunate Human Torch, Reynolds also posted a script page from one of the funniest scenes in the R-rated threequel, as Wade Wilson repeats Storm's foul-mouthed rant to Nova. This ultimately results in the Ff member meeting a brutal end, but we'd later learn that he did actually say these things in the film's post-credits sequence.

"I can’t believe the amount of Deadpool & Wolvie costumes last night," Reynolds said. "You’ll never know what that’s like if you’re me. I’m five years old, staring out...

After a record-smashing run in theaters worldwide over the summer, Marvel Studios’ superhero flick Deadpool & Wolverine, teaming Ryan Reynolds’ Merc with a Mouth and Hugh Jackman’s Adamantium-clawed Marvel mutant, has been set to begin streaming on Disney+ on November 12.

Surpassing Joker to become the highest-grossing Rated-r film of all time, the Deadpool threequel opens on a listless Wade Wilson (Reynolds) toiling away in civilian life. His days as the morally flexible mercenary, Deadpool, behind him. But when his home world faces an existential threat, Wade must reluctantly suit up again with an even more reluctantlier… reluctanter? Reluctantest? He must convince a reluctant Wolverine (Jackman) to… oh hell, just watch the movie. Synopses are stupid.

Shawn Levy directed the pic which grossed over $1.34 billion worldwide, from his script written with Rhett Reese, Paul Wernick, Zeb Wells and Reynolds. He and Reynolds also produced alongside Marvel Studios President Kevin Feige.

The Art of Deadpool and Wolverine book is now available, and Marvel Studios concept artist Andy Park has shared his scrapped design for yet another Logan variant that didn't make the final cut of the movie.

The Merc With a Mouth encounters several alternate reality version of Wolverine in one of the film's most memorable sequences, including Age of Apocalypse Wolvie, Patch, the Cavillrine (Man of Steel star Henry Cavill), and others. Now, Park has revealed that a take on the mutant hero from Uncanny X-Men #268 was also considered.

There's a good chance long-time X-Men fans will recognize this design, as the issue is significant for featuring a flashback to Logan's first ever meeting with Captain America.

"The Art of Deadpool and Wolverine is officially out," Park captioned his post. "More Wolverine variant concept designs I did for the film. This one was from one of my favorite Uncanny X-Men...

Curse of Chucky stars Fiona Dourif, Danielle Bisutti,...

Even though Deadpool and Wolverine is now available on Digital platforms and arrives on DVD and Blu-ray tomorrow, Marvel Studios brought the movie back to 1,500 theaters over the weekend, a move which paid off by nabbing the mega-popular superhero team-up the No. 12 spot on list of the highest-grossing films of all time at the domestic box office.

Marvel's first ever R-rated film took in an additional $636.3 million, taking it just past Barbie's $636.238 million. Greta Gerwig’s smash-hit comedy remains queen of the global box office, however, with $1.445 billion.

On the list of highest-grossing Marvel Cinematic Universe movies, Deadpool and Wolverine comes in at 7, having recently overtaken Iron Man 3's ($1.215 billion) worldwide haul.

Marvel Studios hasn't officially announced a follow-up, but there are rumors that a direct sequel is in the early planning stages. Even if it doesn't come to pass, Ryan Reynolds and Hugh Jackman will almost certainly return for Avengers: Secret Wars.

Deadpool & Wolverine has finally passed Barbie on the domestic box office chart. The R-rated movie served as Deadpool's introduction into the Marvel Cinematic Universe, and he brought Wolverine with him. The movie has been shattering domestic and international records and has already become the highest-grossing R-rated hit of all time. Its $1.335 billion take is incredible enough, but its box office dominance has only continued for months after its July 26 debut.

According to a report by Variety, the movie has earned another record. After re-entering theaters over the weekend, the latest Marvel movie managed to earn enough to topple Barbie with its $679,000 take. It now sits at $636.3 million at the domestic box office, ushering it into the 12th spot on the domestic all-time box office chart. Barbie, which earned $636.238 million, now sits at 13th.

What Deadpool & Wolverine's Record Means Domestic Audiences Preferred Deadpool & Wolverine, Not International

The key element to remember...

Deadpool & Wolverine actress Leslie Uggams unpacked how she thinks her character Blind Al would react to Wade Wilson bringing Logan home with him. At New York Comic Con, she hilariously reacted in character when discussing whether Al would like Wolverine moving into their one bedroom apartment. The actress stated:

My best moments are with Wade, or Deadpool, so I'm kind of jealous of other people. I have to say that Wolverine's okay, but Wade was my guy. That's my guy! A little jealousy going on there. "You're taking up too much of his time." He's all right. I mean, there's nothing in the world better than Deadpool and that relationship, so she's kind of like the mama in a way. He can tell her anything and stuff like that, and they like to kid each other so well. [Wolverine's] kind of in the way, but it's okay because he is fine.

Deadpool and Wolverine is now available on Digital platforms and is set to hit DVD and Blu-ray on October 22, but Marvel Studios wants to make sure that everyone knows the movie is still playing in theaters with a new Halloween-themed teaser.

The promo highlights some of the R-rated threequel's "scariest" moments, with Logan (Hugh Jackman) losing it at Wade Wilson (Ryan Reynolds) in the car, Wolverine's exhumed adamantium skeleton, Headpool (who is technically a zombie), and Cassandra Nova (Emma Corrin) doing that creepy fingers-through-the-head thing to Agent Paradox (Matthew Macfadyen).

Shawn Levy's superhero team-up is now the highest-grossing R-rated movie of all time, and is actually still breaking records. After debuting on Digital on October 1, Deadpool and Wolverine became the best-selling R-rated movie of all time in its first week of availability (domestically).

The movie also passed Avengers' $622 million domestic haul to become the fifth-biggest comic book film ever in the U.

It ain’t cheap being a superhero, but it’s the suits where they really get you. Deadpool & Wolverine featured plenty of variants of the title characters, including an appearance from Logan in his classic John Byrne brown and tan suit. The suit appears on screen for just 10 seconds, but it cost more than many of us make in an entire year.

ComicBookMovie.com spoke with Deadpool & Wolverine editors Dean Zimmerman and Shane Reid, who revealed that the brown and tan suit cost a whopping $100,000. Quite the price tag. As the production couldn’t afford to spend that on a whole bunch of Wolverine variant suits, Zimmerman explained that they had to choose more cost-effective variants such as Old Man Logan and Wolvie on a cross.

Colossus played a significant role in the first two Deadpool movies, but his appearance in Deadpool & Wolverine was minimal, to say the least. However, the metallic mutant may have dodged a bullet as Ryan Reynolds revealed that he had originally intended to kill him off in the third movie before Hugh Jackman got involved.

In an Instagram post celebrating composer Rob Simonsen’s choir version of Madonna’s Like a Prayer, Reynolds revealed that Colossus would have made the ultimate sacrifice. “I had Like A Prayer stuck in my head for the 3rd Deadpool film since 2017. Before Wolverine entered the chat, It was largely gonna be the same motion-control sequence I’d been dreaming about, except my dance partner was originally Colossus,” Reynolds wrote. “He would have died in the preceding scene, launching Deadpool into a state of pure rage and revenge… all set to @madonna’s inspired and singular song,...

Though this will hardly come as much of a surprise after the movie's incredible box office success, we're hearing that Marvel Studios is planning a sequel to Deadpool and Wolverine.

The project is unlikely to be in the development stages yet, but scooper Mttsh claims discussions are underway.

The movie also passed Avengers' $622 million domestic haul to become the fifth-biggest comic book movie ever in the U.S., and climbed higher in the ranks of the highest-grossing movies of all time worldwide. Having officially grossed over $1.31 billion globally, D&W passed Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom to become the 21st highest-grossing movie ever.

Deadpool & Wolverine already holds the record for the highest-grossing R-rated movie of all time, but it’s broken yet another record just one week after its release on Digital. According to Disney, the film has delivered the highest-selling first week ever for an R-rated film on domestic digital platforms. Disney didn’t release any numbers, but the previous record holder is believed to be John Wick: Chapter 4.

Deadpool & Wolverine remains in the top 10 at the weekly box office, having grossed $1.33 billion worldwide. This places the film just behind Inside Out 2, which has grossed $1.69 billion. Quite a haul for Disney.

Disney has also been setting up an awards push for Deadpool & Wolverine as they are submitting the film for consideration across all the major awards shows, including a potential Oscar for Hugh Jackman.

Deadpool and Wolverine is now available to purchase on Digital platforms ahead of its 4K Ultra HD, Blu-ray, and DVD release on October 22, and Fandango has released an extended preview of Marvel Studios' first R-rated movie.

We're sure the majority of you have seen the film at this stage, but just in case you decided to skip it in theaters, this 4:36 clip should give you a pretty good idea of what to expect.

The sneak peek begins with Wade Wilson (Ryan Reynolds) arriving back to the Tva with "the worst Wolverine" (Hugh Jackman) in the hopes of replacing his universe's anchor being (the variant of the X-Man that died at the end of Logan). Mr. Paradox scoffs at the idea, before sending them both to the Void.

As AC/DC's "Hell's Bells" ring out, Deadpool and Wolverine prepare to tear each other to pieces.

We also have a video...

The now-iconic first fight in Deadpool & Wolverine has received a Lego reimagination that acts as a reminder of how great the McU's latest movie is. Deadpool & Wolverine has enjoyed a record-breaking run in cinemas, becoming the highest-grossing R-rated movie, an accolade previously held by 2019's Joker. While Deadpool & Wolverine's cameos and Easter eggs are largely to thank for its success, the impeccable choreography and spectacle of its many fight scenes cannot be understated and are prime examples of where it gets its R-rating.

It's no surprise, then, that the first fight between the titular heroes has already been adapted into new mediums, with LegoBricks Studio releasing a Lego version via YouTube.

While it might have been argued that the video provides a more family-friendly look at the exceptionally violent MCU fight between the blade-wielding rivals, the expletive-laden script remains unchanged. Thankfully, this helps to make the...

"Blade won't admit it, but he wants a S'more."

Deadpool and Wolverine is set to arrive on digital on October 1, before hitting 4K Ultra HD, Blu-ray, and DVD a few weeks later on October 22, and the gag-reel from the extra features has now been officially released online (via Mashable).

The minute-long video features some very funny out-takes, with Ryan Reynolds clearly improvising some of his dialogue (he comes up with some hilariously inventive alternate middle names for Tony Stark). We also get to see a few shots from scenes that didn't make the final cut, including Wade Wilson attempting a piggyback (which we saw in set photos), and the Merc With a Mouth interrupting Logan's (Hugh Jackman) conversation with X-23 (Dafne Keen) to bring Blade (Wesley Snipes) a S'more.
