Deadpool & Wolverine Deadpool & Wolverine Spoiler Thread

Did anyone else really like Tatum's Gambit? I can't say I'm a die hard fan of the character, my only exposure to him was from the Fox Kids X-Men cartoon. But he was pretty damn badass in his scenes.

I liked him enough for this movie but have next to zero interest in seeing him as Gambit in an X or solo film

I dont like Tatum but I like Gambit
I prefer Taylor Kirsch. However his scenes as Gambit were pretty nice

I hope Gambit MCU will have black/red eyes

Yeah I guess they arent worried about keeping secrets now, more about getting more people interested that perhaps werent before by showing what they are missing.

It’s open season according to director Shawn levy

Well it’s out now.

It's truly bizarre to see this knowing the history between Snipes and Reynolds.

Also, I'm sure it's just a joke, but one of their stars rooting for a Blade legacy sequel while they're on Year Five of failing to get their reboot off the ground speaks volumes to the state of the once ironclad Marvel Machine's control of press relations and management.

Honestly? Nah.

Cavill is a really great "sequel" to the Hugh Jackman version of Wolverine, but they can't go that direction for MCU Wolverine (assuming they're not just gonna have Hugh actually do it until he's 90). We definitely need a short king.

I also honestly don't see Cavill being that great at the intense rage of Logan. He's great for characters that are more stoic but I haven't really seen him have the level of animalistic intensity needed for Wolverine. Someone like Jack O'Connell would be perfect. Right age for the long haul, closer to comic accurate Wolverine's height so it's gonna be far easier to have that visual dynamic (which also sets MCU Wolvie apart from Jackman), can absolutely portray animalistic rageful characters. He'd be perfect, imo

I love Wolverine, but I honestly don't care about a height accurate Wolverine on the big screen, so if Cavill is the MCU Wolvie, I'm down for it.

 

[AndrewGilkison]

Seeing Cavill there made the montage funny, it was fine as a gag... but I genuinely don't think he'd be a very good Wolverine.

Nicholas Cage returning as Ghost Rider would have been awesome. Maybe for some other MCU film.

Only few live action Marvel films that have no connection with the MCU
-Howard the Duck 1986
-Hulk 2003
-The Punisher 2004
-Punisher: War Zone (Ray was in Thor movies)
-Ghost Rider 2007/12
-The New Mutants
-Madame Web
-Kraven the Hunter

Saw it yesterday and really enjoyed it, but it was definitely a kinda flawed movie. Not flawed enough to ruin it for me, but certainly cheapened by a few things. Partly the multiverse thing. Retrospectively, I really think Multiverse of Madness kinda boned this film by making it so much about the cheap cameo gimmick. Between that and Deadpool, I think a wacky multiverse adventure would have suited DP better so it's just a shame that we've kinda already seen this before by the time it's Wade's turn.

But still, that was kind of the reality they were making the film with and I sort of wish they leaned into that knowledge more and pushed things further more? Like we've seen Multiverse before, so Deadpool should be the character to push it ALL the way. Don't just give us a drunk Wolverine, give us an insane variant Wolverine. Don't just show us the Void again and a bland landscape. Show us something bonkers and weird. I mean DP even makes a joke that the Multiverse thing is played out but then the movie doesn't really do much to shake that up either anyway?

Also, as a die hard Wolvie fan, he had some great moments but I felt like it took me a while to warm to his character? Like he was a bit one note angry (even for Wolvie) for half the movie before they started developing him? I think I would've loved to have his story fleshed out a bit more upfront so we had more investment in him for all those early fight scenes.

Also, those big super team cameos in the middle left me a bit hollow because they didn't really have characters? Gambits accent jokes were funny but beyond that it was kinda "Eh". My GF has never seen Blade, so after the movie when I mentioned him I was like "Did we even see him bite anyone?" and she was like "Wait he's a vampire?!?" And I realised yeah, those scenes were all just reverent and self referential but they didn't really... DO anything with their characters?

Anyway this seems like a lot of complaining but I was also cracking up with laughter consistently through the entire movie. Some very funny bits and man I loved a bunch of those Wolvie suits.

Overall, it was like the other Deadpool movies in that I came away loving like 70% of it but still wishing the other characters alongside Deadpool just felt a little bit more three dimensional and interesting.

I love Wolverine, but I honestly don't care about a height accurate Wolverine on the big screen, so if Cavill is the MCU Wolvie, I'm down for it.

My main thinking is it's the best way to set the MCU Wolvie apart from Jackman's. Via going for a height accurate Wolverine you can then start to bring in more comic accurate mannerisms and just general little things that would be different from Jackman. I think going for another 6 footer is just gonna make it feel like they're trying to recapture lightning in a bottle.

Which you can't. Because it won't be Hugh Jackman.

I'm not necessarily arguing get a 5'3 short king, but I do think someone closer to it than Jackman was would be a good step towards setting the MCU Wolvie apart

 

[X-Maniac]

I honestly liked this movie even more the second time around. The tributes to Fox and New Line movies were much more effective than I thought they would be. Even if I really want the MCU to start creating their own X-Men.

Agreed. I also liked it more the second time. There is so much to take in that i felt a bit caught up in a CBM whirlwind the first time and it seemed somewhat frenetic.

Yeah once you know what to expect from the "surprises" it seems to flow much better and the pacing seems less uneven compared to the first time with so much going on.

I don't find him as a very good actor.

One thing that baffles me is this idea that "humans went mutant hunting" and that's why all the X-Men died. Like, what? Did they show up with those super sentinels from DoFP, or did they show up with torches and pitchforks? Because if it was just a bunch of schmoes, then how on Earth did the entire X family succumb to them?

 

[BobJM]

We did just see in X-Men '97 a group of suped-up humans attacking the X-Men; maybe Logan just skipped the details.

Regardless, it was whack to hear that they'd all been killed off (again) as a way to motivate his character. But I also think this just helps MCU clear the board so Jackman's Logan and Dafne Keene's Laura can be integrated into the MCU (along with Deadpool) against a brand new cast.

 

[AndrewGilkison]

If this version of Wolverine is in Doomsday and or Secret Wars, I wonder if his motivation will be to help recreate the Marvel Universe to have the X-Men back in it. I ultimately think that is where this Secret Wars stuff is headed anyway, a soft reboot where everything is cleanly unified.
