PLOT Wade Wilson (Reynolds) has given up life as Deadpool. That is, until he’s recruited for a mission, which sets in motion a series of events involving Wolverine (Jackman), a telekinetic villain (Corrin) and the very likely end of several universes.
A WORD OF warning: if you’re a deep-cut Marvel fan, you may want to arrive at Deadpool & Wolverine with several changes of underwear and a responsible buddy to make sure you get home okay. Perhaps pre-book an ambulance.
Because this goes hard on the in-jokes and wish-fulfilment. From cameos to background Easter eggs to long-fan-ficked meet-ups, it’s a relentless onslaught of surprises designed to get audiences screaming and throwing popcorn in the air.
