What’s even more impressive is that “Deadpool & Wolverine” reached the billion-dollar mark faster than the 2019 Joker, which previously held the R-rated crown. The film’s success is not only a testament to the popularity of these iconic characters but also to Disney’s powerhouse status, as they now boast the top two movies of the year, with “Inside Out 2” also making waves.
Certified Fresh on Rotten Tomatoes with an “A” CinemaScore and a 95% audience rating, “Deadpool & Wolverine” has proven that when it comes to Marvel mayhem, fans just can’t get enough.
