Deadpool and Wolverine's Box Office Triumph

Why we're everywhere together. Because we love it. We love what we get. What, will we maybe see a Deadpool 4 Oh God No. Welcome back everyone It's Charlie, Deadpool and Wolverine just crossed $1 billion at the box office last week. As I'm posting this video. Marvel started talking about their plans for some of the characters in the movie coming back and future projects. That's right, they are making them do this until they're 90. But Ryan Reynolds seem very adamant to make as many adamantium Wolverine jokes as possible that he would not make Deadpool for, like, the next Deadpool solo movie. Given that Deadpool and Wolverine is doing so well right now, you'd think that Marvel would force him to keep making Deadpool movies as he says during the movie. that was kind of the whole point of the joke in the movie. it damn straight it is. Disney brought him back. They're going to make him do this till he's 90 so a lot of people asking, what's the deal? Why did Ryan Reynolds go on national TV saying that he was not going to do Deadpool four? So we'll break it all down. It gets to Marvel's larger plans for the Deadpool character, Ryan Reynolds own personal plans behind the scenes, as well. if you're brand new to the channel, be sure to subscribe to get all the videos. Ryan Reynolds and Hugh Jackman keep posting really cool behind the scenes. Like every couple days. There's always something like really cool that they drop. I'm just waiting a couple more days for. I do like another deleted scenes video. but since the movie came out, they've been sharing all kinds of moments with the characters. Cool deleted scenes, a lot of stuff that just didn't make the final cut for many reasons, mostly because they wanted to keep the movie from turning into, like, a six hour billion dollar budget. but I would totally watch a six hour Deadpool movie that would actually probably be pretty cool. the actual theatrical cut of the movie was mostly meant to be a Spider-Man No Way Home kind of story, but for the Fox Marvel characters, other pre McHugh Marvel characters like blade, Elektra, the Thomas Jane Punisher, the other Punisher's that came before Jon Bernthal. the way that Ryan Reynolds explained it after the movie came out. Like he posted this picture of them back at Marvel's Comic-Con panel in 2015. This was Fox's Marvel panel during that era. If you don't remember, that's why the Fantastic Four reboot cast from 2015 is there with them. It was part of that larger, big, big panel that they did for all the Fox, Marvel stuff. Ryan Reynolds was there because they also had the panel for the very first Deadpool movie, which was coming out in 2016. That next year, in the caption for his picture that he posted here, he said, this isn't just Deadpool saying, oh hello to the MCU. Like gently tapping on the window. The MCU, it's Deadpool and Hugh, Sean and me saying farewell to a place in an era that literally made us. We are forever grateful to the fun, weird, uneven, and risky world of 20th Century Fox. It was our origins story and we wouldn't trade it for anything. So he's also talking about his origin in quote unquote, Wolverine Origins. Like that's the joke there. even though we clown on that movie all the time, like he himself clowns on that movie all the time, when people ask him about it now and president, especially when Deadpool and Wolverine came out, people were clowning on the movie. He actually spoke out in its defense, mostly because when he made that movie, like when he showed up as that version of Deadpool, he wasn't really a big leading man. Like he talked about how Hugh Jackman was so helpful to him when he came to set on that movie, because if you don't remember, that movie was made basically at the peak of Hugh Jackman's popularity in pop culture. I mean, even though it seemed like he continued to get even more popular after that. but it was sort of like the zenith of Hugh Jackman as Wolverine in the early era of Wolverine. in the way that Ryan Reynolds talked about it more so than, say, like Blade Trinity because he was also in that movie before he was in Wolverine Origins. Origins was like a huge quantum leap for his career. so a big part of Deadpool and Wolverine wasn't just about making a Deadpool movie in the MCU proper, it was more about letting Ryan Reynolds in. Hugh Jackman, the Other Legacy actors say goodbye to everything that came before the MCU. in reportedly, the real T behind the scenes is that Ryan Reynolds did have to fight pretty hard to get the movie made the way he wanted to make it. Deadpool and Wolverine, that is. more specifically, I think he had to fight to keep the movie from being another glorified commercial for other upcoming MCU movies and just let it be more of a self-contained Deadpool story with a lot of other Fox Marvel references to older movies that was why he released that funny clip before the movie came out, where he basically said all those things like, we're going to sidestep a lot of the traditional MCU tropes of those movies. but we should set the table correctly. This film is as paper thin as a sequel to Battlefield Earth. We're mostly going to beat each other senseless, make enemies with Disney, tell a few dick jokes, make a few jokes at my expense, make a lot of jokes at Hugh's expense, and completely sidestep Marvel's mandated after credits sequence, which, if you haven't figured it out yet, is always just a commercial for another movie, which will invariably end with a commercial for another movie. So sit back, relax, let us lower your IQ and raise your heart rate while we travel to a vapid dreamland, a place where grown men and grown women walk around in tights and act like it's not a giant cultural cry for help. This is cinema. the funnier thing, I think a lot of people would assume it's the other way around. Like Ryan Reynolds would be fighting to stay on as the character. After Disney bought Fox and have Deadpool become a bigger part of the MCU going forward. But that's not really the case. Like, he was never worried about that. it was never really in question. Like those Deadpool movies. Pre MCU made so much money. Of course Marvel would want Deadpool in their stuff eventually. the bigger fight that I think that he made behind the scenes was to just make sure that Deadpool stayed Deadpool and didn't turn into, like the disneyfied version of Deadpool. so we fought really hard behind the scenes to avoid Deadpool getting swallowed up by the MCU ness of the more traditional Marvel movies. And I think he succeeded in doing that with Deadpool and Wolverine. Like Ryan Reynolds said that they were just lightly tapping on the window of the MCU during the movie. And I think that's true. Like, you get the very specific MCU references in jokes at the beginning of the movie. all those many, many Disney jokes. Kevin Feige jokes. The idea that Deadpool has watched the Loki series when they mention alive for the first time, like he's actually watched the Loki DVDs. he goes to the main MCU 616 universe at the beginning of the movie before Avengers Infinity War to try out for the Avengers. But in the movie, he starts out and then at the end of the movie, returns to the 10005 universe, which is canonically the X-Men First Class and now post Days of Future Past original Bryan Singer X-Men universe two. Like they combine those universes. I know there's questions about the timeline with that post-credits scene. It makes it seem like he went back to the TVA to get the clip of Chris Evans Johnny Storm before the end of the movie, but at the end of the movie, he's still back in that X-Men universe. so a lot of you then asking why, if he and Hugh Jackman got dump trucks of money for Deadpool and Wolverine, like everybody loving it for the most part, it seems like it was a huge success. Why would they not want to rush out and make Deadpool four? Like, why not do it again? Normally that's what Hollywood does. Like, the minute something makes money, they make a billion versions of that. Again. I think part of the reason is the difficulty that he went through in actually making the Deadpool and Wolverine movie. He made it sound like it took a huge toll on his personal life and his family, even though most of his family did star in the movie, if he didn't spot them. Blake Lively was Lady Deadpool. His daughter Inez Reynolds was Kid Paul, his youngest. Olan Reynolds, even played the baby pool character. it just sounds like the movie took a toll on his body in his mind, and he just wants to take a break by just being a guest star as Deadpool in other larger movies. So if it wasn't clear Marvel is making both him and Hugh Jackman do this until they're 90, there should be no question about that. Like, they're definitely coming back till the end of time. it's more a question of how much, where and when they show up in the MCU. it takes a Herculean effort to make a full solo movie for your character. Like it's way more trouble and way more money than for them to show up for a couple days of filming, then leave with a trash bag of Marvel's cash. Make no mistake, they did get some big bags of Marvel Cash, and when they come back, even for cameo scenes, like for smaller roles in future movies, it will still be big bags of Marvel Cash. but it just sounds like he is so bone tired behind the scenes that he wants a good long break before he tries to do something this big again with the Deadpool character. So do I think that they will eventually make Deadpool four? Absolutely. There will for sure be another Deadpool movie, but it sounds like it's not going to happen until well after Avengers Secret Wars. With all the Robert Downey Jr Doctor Doom storyline stuff, and Marvel doing their little soft reboot on the entire MCU. Currently, that movie is scheduled to come out spring 2027. Will see if that sticks. It sounds like it will. If Marvel is making all these announcements so quickly back to back in, the Russo brothers are coming back to film both Avengers five and Avengers six back to back again, just like they made Infinity War in Endgame. so that would give Ryan Reynolds and Hugh Jackman a good three years break where they don't really have to worry about anything. They could just show up in secret Wars or Avengers five, or even sooner as a cameo in some other movie if Marvel wants them to. And it's just like a long weekend for them with a big bag of Marvel Cash. right before Deadpool and Wolverine came out in theaters and destroyed all these box office records. And before Marvel announced Robert Downey Jr was coming back as Doctor Doom, their earlier pre Kang plan, like when Kang was still a big thing at Marvel. was the wait for Deadpool and Hugh Jackman's Wolverine to come back until Secret Wars. They weren't supposed to be part of Avengers five, but that was when it was still Qing Dynasty. that could have changed now, especially with the success of Deadpool and Wolverine. Like this new Doctor Doom Avengers five Doomsday Plan. Marvel might want to rush them back out sooner, so we'll see about that. That movie is coming out in 2026. They have a couple years to figure that out. and if Ryan Reynolds just wants to cameo as Deadpool in other people's movies for like a good long while, I think some of the best places Marvel can use him right now with the stuff that they have announced so far, like there's a lot of unannounced movies after Secret Wars. would start with that X-Men reboot movie. If we're talking about non Avengers movies. Kevin Feige confirmed a long time ago that Marvel Phase seven, like everything after Secret Wars, is basically going to be the mutant saga of Marvel. So like, we started with the Infinity Saga of movies, then we have the Multiverse Saga. Deadpool clowned on it really hard during Deadpool and Wolverine. after Secret Wars is done, we're basically moving into like a core X-Men mutant phase where most of the story revolves around those brand new characters, which I think is a smart move for Marvel. Deadpool is a core part of those mutant base stories. now. Because that's all. Still so far out. Marvel hasn't announced a lot of other movies after Secret Wars Week. We just know that they're working on an X-Men reboot movie. So there's a lot of other big, more hardcore team ups that I'd love to see Deadpool in. one of the other problems they run into in this was a worry when they first announced that Disney was buying Fox. Is that that new X-Men reboot movie will definitely be PG 13. So any time you put Deadpool in a PG 13 movie, it becomes more like the Once Upon a Deadpool kind of movie. you could do some of the Deadpool jokes, but like, you really kind of have to water down a lot of his stuff. Kevin Feige did say the success of Deadpool on Wolverine, like a big rated R movie meant that they would do more rated R movies, though, so hopefully we'll see more mutant base rated R team up movies those would be really easy places to put the Deadpool character. But for those of you worried that Ryan Reynolds is just getting, like, too old to actually make these movies, he's not that old. He's much younger than you, Jackman. And this is Hugh Jackman behind the scenes on Deadpool and Wolverine. Like, these abs are not CG. Hugh Jackman actually did this. the only problem is that it's way harder for him to do that kind of action personally. And he's done a lot of that behind the scenes. Like he does have stunt people doing some of the stunts for him, but he does a lot of it himself and he said it has absolutely wrecked his body. sort of the way that football players wreck their bodies even when they're really young, just because the sport is so hardcore and takes such a toll on them physically. So that's why I think we're going to see a bunch of Deadpool crossing over with other characters before we see Deadpool. For depending on how the next couple of years of Marvel goes, I think it'll probably be 2028 or beyond before Deadpool four actually happens. and I'd like to see them go back to doing smaller Deadpool movies. I think the character works a little bit better in especially in solo movies, when the movies themselves aren't quite as crazy and you just like big Avengers movies. but after Secret Wars, they can just have Deadpool four take place in the proper MCU so they can just reference a lot of other stuff that's going on at the time. but a big part of Deadpool's role inside the movies just in general is taking the piss out of Marvel, just in general. I think that's one of the reasons why Deadpool and Wolverine works so well with a lot of the jokes right now, because it took a lot of the piss out of what's happening at Marvel behind the scenes, like it's been a rough time. Like he tells you, Jackman in the movie, you're joining kind of a low point. they revealed that that was actually an ad lib from Ryan Reynolds. Like he just came up with that joke in the moment to. so Deadpool is sort of like this tactical joke weapon that Marvel can deploy when he's most needed. beyond Deadpool for who knows? Like, I mean, if they're going to make him do this until his 90 at a certain point, Ryan Reynolds will probably just want to be doing cameos like Hugh Jackman showing up in other people's movies At a certain point, it will be too hard for him to keep that diet, to keep the abs for the entire time. But for instance, Chris Hemsworth is now in talks to do Thor five. Like they're actually talking about doing Thor five. so they're giving Thor five movies. Think about how many movies they would potentially give to the Deadpool character, as long as they don't spend too much money making them. In fun fact, the Deadpool and Wolverine movie, as big as it is, was cheaper for them to make than it was for them to make the She-Hulk TV series. How crazy is that? I think they're doing all those funny integrations and tie in ads with other products also helped offset the budget for Deadpool and Wolverine. Way, way better. I think they just did a better job of offsetting the budget. but there's like a thousand different amazing places you could put the Deadpool character. everybody let me know in the comments. If they don't make Deadpool for until like 2028, 2029, like a long ways off, what are their movies? Do you want to see Deadpool and Wolverine crossover into before that? there's not really a bad answer to that question. Like he'd almost work in any movie, just depending on how you write the character. I just did a bunch of Marvel's D23 trailer videos. There's still, surprisingly, a bunch of D23 trailers that I have not made yet, so I'll try to finish all those videos by the end of the week everybody click here to learn about Ghost Rider and more Deleted scenes and cameos in Deadpool and Wolverine And click here for that brand new Ironheart trailer from D23 Thank you so much for watching, and I'll see you guys in the next one!
