Deadpool and Wolverinehas debuted just over half an hour of footage, and the early reactions are in.
The highly anticipated third outing in the Deadpool trilogy, and the Merc with a Mouth’s entry into the MCU, is still a few weeks away. However, stars Hugh Jackman and Ryan Reynolds have been making their rounds in a Deadpool world tour debuting the footage alongside director Shawn Levy.
“It was the greatest time I ever had making a movie,” Jackman said at the latest event in London where GamesRadar+ was present, before they showed 35 minutes of the movie along with a teaser of what will come after. Check out our reactions, as well as others present at the event below. And don’t worry, we’ll be keeping everything spoiler-free!
“They showed us the first 37 minutes of #DeadpoolAndWolverine and it’s an absolute blast,“GamesRadar+’s own Emily Murray tweeted. “They understood the assignment and are more than delivering - was laughing right from the opening gag. It’s dumb. It’s fun. Can’t wait to see the rest - let’s fucking go.”
GamesRadar+ journalistAmy West added: “The first 35 mins of #DeadpoolAndWolverine go hard on the self-aware gags. It’s violent, energetic, and super funny! I just hope it’s given space to be a movie in the remaining 92. SO good to see Hugh Jackman in that suit. Matthew Macfadyen = MVP. Can’t wait for the rest!”
Digital Spy’s Ian Sandwellwrote: “I have seen (35 minutes of) Deadpool & Wolverine. It’s a promising start with an excellent opening gag, and if you’re still worried Deadpool has been tamed, the bloody and outrageous first set piece will resolve any worries.”
“Saw the footage from #DeadpoolAndWolverine and y’all ain’t ready for it,“HeyUGuys' Scott J. Davisadded. “Forget what you think you know, bin anything you think might happen cos Reynolds and co. have sneakily but brilliantly constructed their marketing and their film. Can’t wait to see it in all its glory!”
