Deadpool & Wolverine (2024) is one of the most eagerly anticipated entries in the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU), blending the worlds of two fan-favorite characters—Ryan Reynolds' wisecracking Deadpool and Hugh Jackman's Wolverine. This film, directed by Shawn Levy, continues Deadpool’s journey after his introduction to the MCU, following the acquisition of 20th Century Fox by Disney, allowing the character to officially join the larger Marvel universe.

Plot Overview

He sets out on a quest to "save" his timeline, recognizing Wolverine as the key, or "anchor," of the universe tied to the Fox X-Men franchise. The concept of Wolverine being this linchpin for multiple realities adds an emotional and thematic layer to the film. The movie plays with the idea of Deadpool traveling across timelines, revisiting familiar moments from the X-Men and other Marvel films, offering hilarious and surprising cameos along the way.

Wolverine's inclusion brings a nostalgic weight to the movie, especially for fans who thought Hugh Jackman had retired from the role after 2017's Logan. Jackman dons Wolverine’s classic yellow and brown suit, a look that delighted comic book fans​
