Deadpool & Wolverine has broken many records for the MCU, and one of these makes one joke featured in the Phase 5 movie even more untrue. Deadpool has always been well-known for his incessant joking and witty fourth wall breaks, and Ryan Reynolds has translated this brilliantly into live-action in all the Merc with a Mouth’s movies. Deadpool & Wolverine is no different and, since the character now resides at Marvel Studios, Reynolds had more freedom to poke fun at the MCU itself, but not all of Deadpool & Wolverine’s jokes landed.
Deadpool has become such a popular character because of his fantastic sense of humor and ability to poke fun at practically anything, including superhero movies themselves. This contributed to some of the X-Men franchise’s funniest moments in Deadpool and Deadpool 2, and, thankfully, continues in Deadpool & Wolverine. This comedy has helped Deadpool & Wolverine to become the MCU’s biggest recent release, but this fact makes one of the Merc with a Mouth’s jokes very awkward.
Marvel Studios’ New Box Office Total Proves The MCU Doesn’t Need Saving
During Marvel Studios’ panel at this year’s San Diego Comic-Con, Kevin Feige confirmed that, thanks to Deadpool & Wolverine’s monumental opening weekend, the MCU has now grossed over $30 billion at the global box office. This is an immense achievement for the 16-year-old franchise, and is proof that, while the MCU has recently had its ups and downs, there is no need for panic. The MCU certainly doesn’t need saving, considering the franchise’s unmatched success, but the fact that Deadpool & Wolverine enabled the MCU to cross this threshold makes one of Deadpool’s own jokes rather awkward.
Deadpool & Wolverine totaled $444.6 million worldwide in its opening weekend, achieving the biggest debut of 2024, and the 6th-biggest box office opening of all time.
Deadpool’s Post-Endgame MCU Joke Isn’t True (They Haven’t All Been Misses)
At several moments during Deadpool & Wolverine, Wade Wilson suggests that the MCU is currently in the midst of a serious lull. Granted, following Avengers: Endgame, the massive increase in new content being produced contributed to a noticeable drop in quality, and marked the emergence of so-called “superhero fatigue,” but Deadpool seems to be under the impression that this has been a debilitating issue, which is far from the truth. Deadpool even jokes that the Multiverse Saga has comprised “miss after miss,” but this is easily disproved.
Multiverse Saga movies such as Spider-Man: No Way Home, Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness, Black Panther: Wakanda Forever, Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 and, now, Deadpool & Wolverine, have all contributed to the MCU crossing the $30 billion box office threshold. MCU TV shows such as WandaVision, Loki, Moon Knight and Echo have also been major hits. It’s undeniable that the Multiverse Saga has also included some disappointing installments, but Deadpool & Wolverine suggesting they’ve all been misses seemed unnecessarily harsh and simply not the truth.
