Did You Know These 10 Things About ‘Deadpool & Wolverine’?
When ‘Deadpool & Wolverine’ premiered in 2024, it became Marvel Studios’ first R-rated film and the long-awaited return of Hugh Jackman’s Wolverine. Directed by Shawn Levy, the movie teamed Ryan Reynolds’ irreverent Deadpool with Jackman’s gruff mutant in a multiverse-spanning adventure. With its mix of brutal action, outrageous comedy, and heartfelt moments, it gave fans the buddy pairing they’d been dreaming of for years.
The film wasn’t just another sequel—it marked Deadpool’s official entry into the Marvel Cinematic Universe, complete with new characters, shocking cameos, and a fresh take on Wolverine through the lens of alternate timelines. Here are ten things you might not know about ‘Deadpool & Wolverine’.
It Was the First R-Rated MCU Film
Unlike previous Marvel movies, this one fully embraced Deadpool’s style with graphic violence, swearing, and adult humor.
The film’s tone stayed true to the first two ‘Deadpool’ movies while blending into the larger MCU.
Hugh Jackman Returned After ‘Logan’
Hugh Jackman had retired from the role after ‘Logan’ in 2017, but returned by portraying a Wolverine variant from another timeline.
This allowed him to come back without undoing the emotional ending of ‘Logan.’
Multiple Wolverines Appeared
The movie didn’t just feature one Wolverine—fans saw several variants of the character.
These versions highlighted different aspects of the mutant’s personality, adding humor and surprise.
Ryan Reynolds Played More Than One Character
Besides Wade Wilson, Reynolds also portrayed a Deadpool variant nicknamed Nicepool.
This meta gag fit perfectly into the movie’s playful multiverse setup.
Emma Corrin Played Cassandra Nova
Emma Corrin joined the MCU as Cassandra Nova, a sinister telepathic villain with ties to Professor X in the comics.
Her role added a darker, more unsettling layer to the story’s stakes.
Matthew Macfadyen Played Mr. Paradox
Matthew Macfadyen appeared as Mr. Paradox, a TVA agent involved in the multiverse storyline.
His character connected Deadpool and Wolverine’s adventure to the larger multiverse chaos seen across the MCU.
Wolverine’s Grave From ‘Logan’ Was Shown
In a cheeky nod, Deadpool dug up Logan’s grave early in the film, only to find Wolverine’s adamantium skeleton.
This moment acknowledged Wolverine’s death in ‘Logan’ while making space for the variant version.
Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds’ Kids Had Cameos
Reynolds’ real-life family appeared in small cameo roles, with his wife Blake Lively playing a female Deadpool variant nicknamed Ladypool.
Their children appeared briefly as playful background variants.
The Title Went Through Several Ideas
Before settling on ‘Deadpool & Wolverine,’ Marvel considered names like ‘Deadpool 3’ and ‘Deadpool vs. Wolverine.’
The final title emphasized their reluctant partnership rather than rivalry.
It Became a Streaming Sensation
Though it earned strong box office numbers, the movie exploded in popularity once it hit Disney+.
It quickly became one of the platform’s most-watched MCU films, showing the lasting appeal of the Deadpool–Wolverine pairing.
