‘Deadpool & Wolverine’ Hailed as ‘Masterfully Crafted’ and a ‘Marvel Game Changer’ in First Reactions
“Deadpool & Wolverine” doesn’t officially hit theaters until Friday, but the world premiere was held on Monday night and the threequel is earning a lot of early love. According to those who’ve already seen it, the Ryan Reynolds and Hugh Jackman-led film is “masterfully crafted” and a “love letter to cinema.”
Exact plot details remain a bit under wraps, but here’s what we do know: in this film, the Time Variance Authority (as introduced in “Loki”) shows up to recruit Wade (Reynolds) to save his world. He can’t do it alone though, so he in turn recruits Wolverine (Jackman) to help him. Of course, Wolverine is as brooding as ever, and only begrudgingly signs on to help.
Apparently, this Logan was unable to save his own world, and it haunts him. It’s unclear exactly where in the MCU timeline this entry will fall, especially considering the fact that Logan died in “Logan” — but the TVA will make it work.
The movie also brings both Deadpool and Wolverine into the MCU, courtesy of Disney buying 20th Century Fox in 2019, and as such, that means a whole lot of cameos. We won’t spoil them here, but they were certainly an aspect that both stunned and excited those who got to see it at early press screenings.
Check out the first reactions to “Deadpool & Wolverine,” below:

#DeadpoolandWolverine is No Way Home on STEROIDS. It takes elements from Boss Baby and Come and See to create a beautiful love letter to cinema. Shawn Levy is a true auteur putting him in the ranks with Zack Snyder and Wes Anderson. Cinema is back baby! pic.twitter.com/Rltg4AfjrD

Deadpool & Wolverine was the most fun I’ve had at the movies in years. It’s a Marvel fan’s delight. Cameos, yes, but Ryan Reynolds handpicked the ones to deliver surgical comedic impact. It rewards MCU obsession AND knowing the lives of these chiseled heroes.

DEADPOOL & WOLVERINE is the shot in the arm the MCU so desperately needed. Vulgar, violent, scathing, and at times, even touching, this R-rated romp holds nothing back delivering on everything its fans want with maximum effort. It even manages to pay respect to the Fox era’s… pic.twitter.com/uUqE6YiIma

Deadpool & Wolverine is an insane, bombastic Marvel wet dream.
Plenty of surprises but with epic action, excessive violence, and relentless humor (most of which landed for me).
Hugh Jackman and Ryan Reynolds overdelivered. It’s a lot to process. I had a blast. pic.twitter.com/hcxDdW8CNc— BD (@BrandonDavisBD) July 23, 2024
DEADPOOL AND WOLVERINE is the best Marvel film in many years. It’s funny, violent as hell, and has a really big heart. The scene where Hugh Jackman looks to the camera and says, “LOGAN was never good to begin with” elicited gasps from my audience. Cannot recommend this enough. pic.twitter.com/GGzD766I8x

DEADPOOL & WOLVERINE is Marvel’s PLANES, TRAINS & AUTOMOBILES.
What does that mean? It means it’s both wildly hilarious and genuinely (and heartbreakingly) meaningful.
Top 10 Marvel — not because of its cameos, because of its heart.
This movie doesn’t just exist — it MATTERS. pic.twitter.com/Ce7VOKMWZA— Jake Hamilton (@JakesTakes) July 23, 2024
