Besides being the rope of anticipation for eager comic fans, Deadpool & Wolverine is a thread of hope for the Marvel Cinematic Universe despite the first release of its kind under the studio's banner. The reasons may vary in trajectory, but the most profound is the studio's steadfastness in recoiling and reinventing. While the flick may have already claimed its penchant for savior syndrome with its Marvel Jesus gag, the studio co-president has recently reestablished why it is a pill of truth in every way.

As per the official, Deadpool & Wolverine is poised to revamp the MCU in ways beyond expectation. Hence, all fans need to do is hold their horses for the agents of chaos to don their savior cape. 

During a recent interview with Empire Magazine, Marvel Studios' co-president Louis D’Esposito highlighted the reasons behind MCU’s enlisting Deadpool & Wolverine as the only Marvel Studios film to release in 2024. Comic fans are more or less familiar with the fact that a few of MCU’s last high-profile releases were not up to scratch, neither in reach nor reception. Hence, by enlisting it, the only film to hit the theatre this year, akin to positioning it as the Marvel Jesus, Esposito believes it is their first step to “coming back strong”.  

D’Esposito explained reflecting on the studio’s commitment to confining itself to quality releases how, in a way, the setback was a moment of epiphany. He believed that if they had remained at the top and experienced a downfall all at once, the impact would have been twice as severe, possibly with no chance of recovery. However, now that they have learned from their experience, they plan to carefully select their film slate, focusing on "two or three films a year and one or two shows", rather than four of each, to maintain their footing in every aspect.

Kevin Feige followed Esposito's suit in this perception as he proceeded to bring focus to how this measure has permitted him to refocus and prioritize his efforts for the studio.

In the discussions with Empire Magazine for their latest world-exclusive Deadpool & Wolverine issue, Kevin Feige reinstated its Marvel Jesus claim by throwing light on how the studio’s strategy to re-structure its film slate has helped him direct his attention in a singular path to bring considerable results. Feige explained that some prophecies by Ryan Reynolds, Shawn Levy, and his writers have taken on “more of a meaning” as the Marvel Jesus gag since, with Deadpool & Wolverine, the studio truly aims for redemption. 

The strategy has let Feige lean on his preferences to “surprise and exceed expectations” as with Deadpool & Wolverine; the sole purposes are to entertain and reclaim. Levy seemed to have acknowledged the studios’ underperformance as well with the hopes of this flick to resemble reception akin to “Messianic proportions”. Although time will tell whether these strands of hope truly found their feet on the ground, for now with the officials reiterating similar stances, Deadpool & Wolverine can be expected to be the wonder of Christ.
