Marvel fans had a blast in the theaters after what felt like an eternity. Thanks to Deadpool & Wolverine’s perfect blend of humor, thrill, and nostalgia, the 2024 movie was successful in replicating the euphoria and cinematic hysteria of blockbusters like Avengers: Endgame. This was a bit of a surprise, considering the MCU was no longer the global box office powerhouse it once was and superhero fatigue has made its rounds in the industry. This reaction was as sweet for the lead, Ryan Reynolds, as it was for the fans.

The actor recently took to social media to share his feelings about theatergoers enjoying Deadpool & Wolverine on the big screens.

Ryan Reynolds has poured his heart and soul into Deadpool & Wolverine, to the extent that he had to put family time on the back burner for over a year. So, it is only natural that he is bursting with pride to see fans’ overwhelming response to the 2024 movie. Sharing a clip of the audience reacting to the third Deadpool installment, Reynolds described the “feeling of sitting in a movie theater, having a collective experience like this” as “one of the best feelings on earth”.

In the clip, fans were seen hollering at the surprises in Deadpool & Wolverine, while also engaging in animated discussions among themselves. Some even turned up wearing Wolverine claws at the theaters. However, one thing that was consistent among all the viewers was pure laughter and joy. It is because of the fans’ love for the Shawn Levy-directed movie that Deadpool & Wolverine is anticipated to replicate a huge milestone from 2023 at the box office, based on one factor.

5 Reasons ‘Deadpool & Wolverine’ Can Join the $1 Billion Club

Deadpool & Wolverine is officially on the list of top 20 R-rated movies with the highest grossing in less than a week, which could make it pull a Barbenheimer phenomenon like last year.

Last year, fans saw Barbie and Oppenheimer rewrite box office history. Now, Deadpool & Wolverine is being talked about in the same breath as Barbenheimer, especially after its first-week gross numbers came out. The movie has already grossed $550 million at the box office, less than a week after its debut. And after this jaw-dropping first-week performance, it would not be a shocker if the film crossed the billion-dollar threshold by the time it exits theaters. Deadpool & Wolverine also smashed opening records.

The first Deadpool movie became the highest-grossing opener for an R-rated film back in 2016 with $132 million. Then came the second installment, which claimed the runner-up position with $125 million in sales in 2018. However, both films fade into the background when it comes to the third installment’s $211 million. With more people rushing to the theatres, the future of Deadpool & Wolverine looks to be gleaming with golden prospects.
