Deadpool & Wolverine is a 2024 American superhero film directed by Shawn Levy, the first R-rated film in the Marvel Cinematic Universe and the movie that brought the X-Men franchise's most popular characters into the MCU. Ryan Reynolds returns as Wade Wilson/Deadpool, who is pulled from his mundane post-superhero life by the Time Variance Authority and must team up with a variant of Wolverine, played by Hugh Jackman, to save his dying universe from deletion. Their journey takes them through the Void, a wasteland at the end of time populated by pruned variants from across the multiverse.
The film was a massive cultural event โ the first collaboration between Reynolds' Deadpool and Jackman's Wolverine, two of the most beloved superhero performances of their generation, with Jackman returning to the role after his seemingly definitive farewell in Logan. The film's irreverent humor, fourth-wall breaking, and extensive cameos from legacy Fox Marvel characters gave it the feel of a celebratory sendoff for the Fox X-Men era. Deadpool & Wolverine earned $1.34 billion worldwide, becoming the highest-grossing R-rated film in history.
