Long after 2019 brought a staggering haul of 10 comic book movies, 2024 will bring a slew of releases. Interestingly, four Marvel movies will compete head-to-head as the franchise will see its release span from February to November. Each bringing something new to the table, the battle between the heavyweights, in terms of the number of characters, comes down to two. Helming Deadpool 3, Ryan Reynolds and Hugh Jackman will tackle an ensemble headlined by Sydney Sweeney and Dakota Johnson with Madame Web.

Amid this incoming barrage, the underlying goal of both would be the same – to land the maximum impact on the audience. Remarkably, when pitted against each other and based on first looks alone, Deadpool 3 has earned itself a leading edge. Shy of even a trailer, the first-ever R-rated MCU flick looks well-established for one grand entry into the sacred timeline.

Sony has a major year ahead. Crafting its own live-action Marvel spiderverse, the Sydney Sweeney starrer stands at the pinnacle. Moreover, with a much-talked-about teaser trailer and a February release, Madame Web stands as a formidable project. Meanwhile, Aaron Taylor-Johnson and Russel Crowe, have banded together to bring another anti-hero to the forefront with Kraven the Hunter. 

Finally, with the second iteration of the Venom franchise already having linked itself with Spiderman: No Way Home, the task of minting numbers stands easier for the third one. All in all, three Sony productions would battle as well as stand beside Deadpool 3 as fans look to have already suited themselves with a preference.

Bringing their views and demands, there is one clear factor working in favor of Marvel Studios and it is its cast.

Ryan Reynolds and Hugh Jackman pull Deadpool 3 ahead of Madame Web and other Sony releases

A dream come true for fans, Ryan Reynolds and Hugh Jackman sharing a screen stands as a big deal. After a heavily criticized outing in 2009, the fan-favorite pair, with their characteristic banter and trolling, have pulled the tides in their favor. Meanwhile, Madame Web finds itself under scrutiny as fans worry about its writing and story. Meanwhile, Venom 3 boasts the connection to Tom Holland as its selling point while Kraven the Hunter stands firmly on its lead.

Excitement and anticipation for Deadpool 3 is at its zenith.

The fans have spoken and the Ryan Reynolds-Hugh Jackman pair commands an absolute lead.

Regardless of the competition, the Marvel universe stands as the ultimate winner. Sony eventually has plans to integrate its universe with the MCU multiverse thus, leaving room for massive crossovers. Additionally, with James Gunn’s DC reboot, comic book movie fans have reasons to feel excited. Meanwhile, all eyes now await the calendar turning to 2024 and superheroes raining right after the first month passing over.
