Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) faced a string of box office disappointments in recent years, with many of its latest releases receiving lukewarm responses. However, the upcoming release of “Deadpool 3” is setting new records even before its theater debut, raising questions about a potential MCU comeback.
A few years ago, the announcement of a new MCU superhero movie was enough to pack theaters. This trend continued until “Avengers: Endgame,” after which the excitement began to wane. Following several flops, Marvel Studios decided to adopt a new approach focused on “quality over quantity.” This shift resulted in the cancellation of numerous sequels, making 2024 a year with just one major Marvel blockbuster slated for release. However, anticipation for “Deadpool 3” has skyrocketed, especially with the confirmed return of Hugh Jackman as Wolverine.
Rumors suggest that “Deadpool 3” will be a record-breaking entry in the series, potentially running for three hours. This has further fueled fan enthusiasm.
Production Delays and Premiere Date
The production of “Deadpool 3” faced significant delays due to widespread Hollywood strikes, with filming being put on hold at one point. Despite these setbacks, Marvel fans won’t have to wait much longer. The premiere of “Deadpool & Wolverine” is scheduled for July 24, 2024, and is expected to be the blockbuster event of the summer.
Trailers Breaking the Internet
The first trailer for “Deadpool 3” achieved a monumental milestone by garnering 365 million views within the first 24 hours of its release—a feat that recent Marvel movies could only dream of. The second trailer, released shortly after, broke another record by featuring the most uses of the F-word in the MCU—six times in under three minutes.
These impressive statistics not only highlight the immense anticipation from fans but also suggest that “Deadpool 3” might retain the R-rating of its predecessors, despite Disney’s acquisition of 21st Century Fox.
