Critics Agree: Deadpool & Wolverine Is a Funny Corporate Merger


Disney’s Marvel and 21st Century Fox make for the film’s steamiest hookup.

Critics say the new popcorn movie knows just how to twiddle diehards, what with its fourth-wall-breaking, referential humor that winkingly skewers the MCU, the actors themselves, and, most crucially, the corporate merger between Disney’s Marvel and 20th Century Fox, which brought Wolverine into the House of Mouse. It is a film about how anything that was ever successful in Hollywood is made to repeat that same song and dance endlessly, how a bloated and risk-averse industry can’t let well enough alone, how nobody is ever really dead anymore, how the world is always ending but the story is never allowed to finish.” — Alissa Wilkinson, The New York Times Ebulliently directed by Shawn Levy ( Night at the Museum), this is a hyperactive cheese dream that brings together two of Marvel’s best characters and a supporting cast who will have nerds frothing at the mouth.” — Ed Potton, The Times
