First Reactions to “Deadpool & Wolverine” Say the Chemistry is Explosive in MCU Game Changer
The first reactions for director Shawn Levy’s Deadpool & Wolverine have arrived, and critics and everyone else with a press screening and social media account are weighing in. The overall sentiment appears to be LFG. The long-awaited pairing of Ryan Reynolds’ Merc with the Mouth and Hugh Jackman’s mutant berserker and iconic X-Man has been high on the MCU fan wishlist, and it seems like they’ve delivered. And while sure, the two faced off 15 years ago in 2009’s X-Men Origins: Wolverine, as far as fans are concerned, that portion of Wolverine’s timeline isn’t as important as the one we’ll be faced with in Deadpool & Wolverine, which marks the true first, proper mash-up of the “new” Deadpool, lovingly created by Reynolds and the Deadpool creative team (including writers Paul Wernick and Rhett Reese), and Jackman’s legendary bruiser. Now, the Deadpool brain trust are back, with Levy directing the franchise for the first time and Zeb Wells joining Wernick and Reese on scripting duties, and the result is a new two-hander that posits a world in which Deadpool recruits a very different Wolverine from the hero who died tragically but heroically in James Mangold’s 2017 banger Logan to try and help him save the people he loves.
Monday night marked the first chance critics got a look at the movie, and with their reactions pouring in online and full reviews coming later today, tet’s have a glance at what the folks are saying so far. Deadpool & Wolverine slashes into theaters on July 26.
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

Deadpool & Wolverine is an insane, bombastic Marvel wet dream.
Plenty of surprises but with epic action, excessive violence, and relentless humor (most of which landed for me).
Hugh Jackman and Ryan Reynolds overdelivered. It’s a lot to process. I had a blast. pic.twitter.com/hcxDdW8CNc

DEADPOOL & WOLVERINE feels miraculous. A high energy ode to superhero cinema past that goes beyond nostalgia into kid in a candy store madness, the Ryan Reynolds/Hugh Jackman is everything you wanted and more, despite some grating toilet humor.

DEADPOOL AND WOLVERINE is the best Marvel film in many years. It’s funny, violent as hell, and has a really big heart. The scene where Hugh Jackman looks to the camera and says, “LOGAN was never good to begin with” elicited gasps from my audience. Cannot recommend this enough. pic.twitter.com/GGzD766I8x
