As the Barbenheimer spectacle unfolded last year, if not for the content the movies entailed, cinemaholics were sure that nothing would bring back movie days as these two movies did. However, as fans finally mark the day zeroth of the extended countdown of Ryan Reynolds and Hugh Jackman's Marvel-ous spectacle, Deadpool & Wolverine, it is evident that the adamantium claws have left a deeper mark than any nails or nuclear bombs. With Reynolds himself leading the crowd, the social media community and beyond are in a celebration like never before.

After cooking the ingredients just right in the form of a well-seasoned marketing campaign, Ryan Reynolds took to X to mark the end of the wait for what is now expected to be his magnum opus alongside Hugh Jackman. While Reynolds champing at the bit was no sight, it was how everyone was as excited as him or more, that left no doubts that yellow and red are in fact the new black.

Ryan Reynolds has long gained a reputation as a marketing maverick, and as he spilled yellow and red in 'Hugh' amounts on every traditional promotional technique, it was clear why the title prevailed. Marking the end of the first half of this successful regimen, the actor penned down an expression that every Deadpool & Wolverine fan echoed back with vigour, paralleling that of a valiant soldier: "LFG."

From relishing in the carefully dropped comedic banter of Wolverine and the Merc with a Mouth to going feral at the cameo hints that brought in a huge shock value not just in terms of identities but also the amounts, the release of Deadpool & Wolverine was nothing short of a safe haven for the audience.
