After years of gestation, anticipation, and speculation, Deadpool & Wolverine is almost here. Monday night, the highly anticipated, R-rated return of Ryan Reynolds and Hugh Jackman’s signature characters had its world premiere in New York City as well as press screenings from coast to coast. That means, social media is abuzz with (mostly) non-spoiler reactions to the film and, as expected, those reactions are, on the whole very, very positive.
#DeadpoolAndWolverine is the funniest MCU project ever & (of course) the goriest.
Ryan Reynolds and Hugh Jackman together as these icons is INCREDIBLE.
It’s not perfect, but it’s a thrilling theatrical experience & a step in the right direction for Marvel. pic.twitter.com/7jwAtRvev6

DEADPOOL & WOLVERINE smokes. So much fun. And a love letter (hate that term, but that’s what it is) to the Fox era of Marvel movies. I assumed it would be violent based on how much Marvel’s been selling that, but I’d say it’s the most gory of the three. #DeadpoolAndWolverine

It goes without saying that #DeadpoolAndWolverine absolutely KILLS it!
Ryan and Hugh brought their all into it, the R-rated action is still as gory as ever, and the cameos, when present, felt like they mostly fit well enough the story.
Yep, BIGGER implications are coming! 👀 pic.twitter.com/uv1Wo4pyLb

Welp, DEADPOOL AND WOLVERINE got me excited about Marvel movies again. Hilarious, earnest, irreverent as hell, and a reminder of the kind of relentless fun that got us into this stuff in the first place.#DeadpoolAndWolverine

LFG! Absolutely loved #DeadpoolAndWolverine – yes the cameos and surprises are epic, and the humor, action, blood-soaked fights and needle drops are tremendous, too… but it’s the respect and love for the characters that win you over.
This is the ultimate Deadpool movie. It is… pic.twitter.com/dhK1s6uh2O

I had a full blast with #DeadpoolAndWolverine. It was the most Marvely MCU movie since Spider-Man No Way Home. I literally screamed for joy at one scene. 😅 I dunno about saving the MCU but from the action to the comedy to unexpected drama, this is easily a must watch. 👌🏿 pic.twitter.com/6KGPADGE22

My biggest problem with #Deadpool has been that he’s playing in too small of a sandbox. That…is not the case with #DeadpoolAndWolverine
A true love letter to the 20th Century Fox era of Marvel and such a weird, bloody, surprising delight. Thanks Marvel Jesus. pic.twitter.com/d1cpeNRp85— Ross Bonaime (@rbonaime) July 23, 2024
