The NSFW ‘Deadpool and Wolverine’ Interview: Ryan Reynolds, Hugh Jackman and Shawn Levy Go Deep on Making Marvel’s Wildest, Crudest Movie
'Deadpool and Wolverine' stars Ryan Reynolds and Hugh Jackman, plus director Shawn Levy, give a NSFW account of bringing the R-rating to the MCU.
Though the MCU has delivered an unprecedented string of blockbusters across 33 films over 15 years, it has stumbled with more recent entries like “Eternals,” “Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania” and “The Marvels.” In response, the comic book giant is trying to slow its cadence of spinoffs, sequels and TV series, leaving “Deadpool & Wolverine” as 2024’s lone Marvel Studios movie — the first time that’s happened since 2012’s “The Avengers.” That’s partly because Reynolds has upped the ante for the third installment, bringing Jackman’s brooding mutant back from retirement and enlisting Levy, the filmmaker behind commercial hits like 2006’s “Night at the Museum” and Netflix’s “Stranger Things,” to navigate the project through a long and winding journey to theaters. The characters faced off 15 years ago in 2009’s “X-Men Origins: Wolverine,” and fans hated the film, feeling that Deadpool was far removed from his wisecracking comic book roots.
