This film makes fun of the MCU, it doesn't save it

At first it was a sensation. The fact that Disney acquired the film production company 20th Century Fox for an incredible sum of 71 billion US dollars It was suddenly possible to bring together Marvel’s best superhero teams, the Fantastic Four and the legendary X-Men into the Marvel Cinematic Universe Four years later, the first steps are being taken and Deadpool and Wolverine are about to be released into the MCU. So far, so annoying.

Funny advertising campaigns for Deadpool & Wolverine

The first part of Deadpool was a brilliant revolution. To dare to give a relatively unknown Marvel hero, who was actually was already completely burnedto make a solo film that will be FSK 16+ release excluded large parts of Marvel's core audience, turned out to be a brilliant move.

Deadpool certainly owes its success to lead actor Ryan Reynolds, who attracted immense attention and interest with a crazy advertising campaign. The anti-superhero film played a grandiose role in 2016. 783 million US dollars The sequel proved two years later with 786 million US dollarsr sales that the entertaining slapstick formula in terms of advertising and film is by far not exhausted yet was.

Deadpool will also be a huge success as part of the Marvel Cinematic Universe. It is expected that this will be the second Disney film to break the magic $1 billion mark after Inside Out 2. Millions of fans will flock to the cinema, but I won't be one of them.

What excited me last year has now become a real pain in the ass. For months The two main actors Ryan Reynolds and Hugh Jackman bicker on social media. It seems like a new “funniest movie poster of all time” comes out every week. And the trailers and clips for Deadpool 3 shower the audience with Easter eggs and guest appearances from old acquaintances. I can't take it anymore.

As a fan of action-packed blockbuster movies, I'm now just oversaturated with the superhero movies that seem so strained and “crazy”. Deadpool on its own worked brilliantly in my opinion. Wolverine doesn't really fit in with all the slapstick for me.

I am now convinced that Deadpool 3 will not breathe new life into the MCU, but will rob the film series of any seriousness. All the alternate realities of the multiverse were already bizarre and not very credible. With Deadpool & Wolverine, the Marvel Cinematic Universe will finally to the parody himself.
