Deadpool & Wolverine: First Reactions Have Marvel Fans “In Disbelief”

Deadpool & Wolverine is finally heading to theaters this month, and Marvel fans can’t wait to see Deadpool/Wade Wilson (Ryan Reynolds) team up with Wolverine/Logan (Hugh Jackman). There has been so much speculation, teases, and rumors about the film in recent months, but we finally have an idea of how some folks are responding to the film. 35 minutes of the movie was screened this week during a promotional tour in Shanghai, China. Reynolds and Jackman were joined by director Shawn Levy who introduced the footage to the crowd. Now, some of the audience members have taken to social media to share their reactions to the footage.

“No joke, I’m struggling to find any negatives,” @hzjoe03 wrote. “Despite the Fox merger, this feels like a straight-up continuation from Deadpool 2 story and tone-wise. Nothing has been toned back, all the comedy hit, and the action was beautiful. Saw lots of you had a problem with the colour grading in trailers, but on screen it’s so much better and the suits are absolutely gorgeous.”

“The trailers haven’t given much away at all, a majority of the footage you’ve seen happens in the first 30 mins or so and even then, a lot of that 30 minutes were things I didn’t expect at all,” he added.

“The timeline might cook me for that but Shawn Levy actually got that sauce oh my god,” @Nacht_Silver added. I am in disbelief.”

“Only in 40 Mins he cooked so much,” @itsokloll replied. “The other 90 Mins is Gon send me in Heaven.”

“Pretty fun, cool opening credits,” @whenbatmenfly shared.

“Just wow! From the gritty yet groovy opening scene to the nail-biting montage of what’s to come, Marvel Studios’ latest offering overflows with in-your-face humor, action-packed sequences, and eye-popping visuals. While its R-16 rating might be too soft or too strong for some, the dynamic pairing of #Deadpool and #Wolverine is a special treat for fans and casual viewers alike, offering a fresh and fierce twist amidst the usual superhero flicks,” @cinemabravoph wrote.
