Ryan Reynolds said this week he was “surprised” Disney allowed the R-rating on their upcoming Deadpool & Wolverine. The film, out July 26, will be Marvel's first R movie. “I hope this doesn't sound condescending, I'm really proud of them for doing this,” Reynolds said during an interview with Fandango.
Deadpool & Wolverine star Ryan Reynolds is praising Disney as the “hard R” film gets a new F-bomb-laced promo spot and new poster. The eccentric superhero movie—which is slated for a July 26 theatrical release—marks Disney's first R-rated film in their expansive Marvel Cinematic Universe saga.
We already knew that actor Emma Corrin would be taking on the role of Deadpool & Wolverine villain Cassandra Nova in the upcoming MCU flick. But thanks to the latest trailer for the movie, we now have our first really good look at the bald baddie.

Who is more powerful Deadpool or Wolverine?
From what has been established in comics, Wolverine is physically stronger than Deadpool, but Deadpool is faster. Deadpool's healing factor is better, but Wolverine's superior senses and decades of training make him extremely stealthy.
A mercenary for hire, he played an important role in the series Deadpool; T-Ray served to remind Wade Wilson, also known as Deadpool, what a failure he was. He is Deadpool's archenemy for many issues and almost everything that happened to Deadpool was a part of an elaborate plan orchestrated by him.
Including Cable in the multiverse-traversing narrative could have been a costly decision when the movie is also hiring Hugh Jackman. Having so many stars appear in the movie may have squeezed the budget too greatly. Additionally, Cable is far more closely associated with the X-Men than Deadpool is.
The film's official title was announced as Deadpool & Wolverine in February 2024, with Levy acknowledging that it was the third Deadpool film but he did not want to call it Deadpool 3 because it is a "two-hander character adventure" that focuses on both Deadpool and Wolverine.
Wolverine (James "Logan" Howlett) and Deadpool (That's Me!) share a past together, seeing as both their stories began at the Weapon X program. They fought a few times, but also worked together, and Logan even tried to convince Cyclops into letting Deadpool join the X-Men when Cyclops refused.
Ryan Reynolds Was “Surprised” and “Grateful” Disney Allowed R-Rating for 'Deadpool & Wolverine' The film, due out July 26, will make history as Marvel's first R-rated movie.
Deadpool & Wolverine brings back Jackman's superhero this summer. Comic book fans weren't the only ones hoping Hugh Jackman would keep his claws sheathed after Logan, as it turns out Marvel Studios President Kevin Feige cautioned the Wolverine star against returning, too.
He becomes a member of the Avengers Unity Squad, a team created by Captain America in which X-Men and Avengers work together. In the "Death of Wolverine" story line, a virus turns off Wolverine's healing factor.
Jackman had played the X-Men character in nine different films, concluding the character's arc with the acclaimed 2017 film Logan. However, Jackman is now set to return as Logan/Wolverine in the third Deadpool movie, opposite Ryan Reynolds.
Likewise, Deadpool's X-Force teammate Domino won't appear in Deadpool & Wolverine, as confirmed by actor Zazie Beetz herself. Cable and Domino's absence is odd considering Deadpool 2's ending, where Deadpool finished assembling his own mutant team with both anti-heroes.
Considering his story did not end in Deadpool 2, there was still room for an interesting development arc for Russell, but this will not come in Deadpool & Wolverine. It's possible that Dennison could make his debut in the MCU at a later date, but according to the actor, it's not forthcoming in Phase 6.
Summary. Adamantium poisoning caused Wolverine's healing power to fail in Logan, leading to his tragic demise. The theme of government experimentation and toxic substances adds weight to Wolverine's struggles in the film.
After a battle against Logan and Creed atop a cooling tower at Stryker's plant, Weapon XI was beheaded and seemingly defeated by Logan. However, he survived decapitation. Like his Earth-616 counterpart who breaks the fourth wall, he shushed to the viewers that his survival must remain secret.
There are two things though, that scare him above all: cows and clowns are a Deadpool weakness. Wilson's always been scared of cows because he believes that their eyes are all-knowing. The Merc is also scared of clowns, finding them too creepy.
There aren't many superheroes that could defeat Deadpool without breaking a sweat, but Shazam harnesses the power of the gods to use for the greater good, so there's not much Wilson could do to stop him. He has a healing factor of his own, along with super strength, invulnerability, super speed, and the ability to fly.
Weasel is perhaps Deadpool's best friend. However, because of his frequent mood swings and tenuous mental state, Deadpool still often abuses or mistreats him. Weasel has also displayed an opportunistic streak against his friend's interests on occasions. Weasel as seen in Cable & Deadpool.
