DEADPOOL & WOLVERINE Becomes Most Watched Movie Trailer of All Time with 365 Million Views
This is gonna make a billion, minimum.
First, its been a damn long while since there was any hype behind an MCU release.
Second, Hugh MFn Jackman is returning to the role that put comic book movies a big MFn deal 24 years ago, for the first time in 7 years.
Third, while the 2nd Deadpool wasn't as good as the 1st, audiences are looking forward to Ryan Renold's 4th-wall-breaking merc-with-a-mouth Wade Wilson first entry into the MCU.
Fourth, everybody from Jennifer Garner's Elektra to the then-preteen X23 girl from Logan has been rumored to make a cameo, if not be co-starring. Nostalgia bait ontop of nostalgia bait.
Fifth, Disney releasing its first Rated-R MCU movie? Seriously?
So many of the usual suspects on YouTube are saying "MCU is lost, even Deadpool can't bring it back." And they may be right, but I'd bet their political partisan wishful thinking is having too much of an influence upon their prediction.
Disney knows any chance of a future for the MCU will die if Deadpool&Wolverine fails, so if they're smart they'd allow the creative minds that made the first Deadpool movie to be great to do their thing to make this great... and rake in a billion dollars to show there's still life in the MCU.
Or, they've let their DEI social agenda bullshit to infect this too, and word will quickly spread about it after opening day.
