Deadpool & Wolverine review: Ryan Reynolds and Hugh Jackman have the biggest laugh in this multiverse caper, writes BRIAN VINER
While there's nobody better than Reynolds at wooing the audience, he works so hard at dismantling the so-called fourth wall that by the end there's hardly any of it left
Indeed it is almost a surprise not to find Reynolds (famously also the co-owner of Wrexham AFC) at any point sporting a club scarf, like Eric Morecambe waving a Luton Town placard during his Roman Empire playlet with Glenda Jackson. Gloomy and purposeless, he is propelled back into the world of super-heroics by a sly boffin called Mr Paradox (enjoyably played by Matthew Macfadyen as a sci-fi version of sneaky Tom from TV hit Succession). After all, it is 100 years since the Olympics last took place in the City of Light, and Chariots Of Fire celebrates the remarkable accomplishments in those 1924 Games of two great British athletes: the devoutly Christian Eric Liddell (Ian Charleson) and the Jewish sprinter Harold Abrahams (Ben Cross).
