Deadpool & Wolverine, the only Marvel Cinematic Universe movie this year, levels up in terms of budget but isn’t bothered about evolving emotionally. We discuss the film’s relentless humour, the ugly CGI, and the confusingly complicated plot. There’s time for self-reference, but not for self-reflection in the Deadpool films, as Ryan Reynolds continues to overwhelm every aspect of them. We also talk about where the film stands in the ever-expanding MCU, and whether it would even work five years down the line.

All the jokes about its new setting (in Marvel’s world) and the lovey-dovey X-Men fan service cannot overcome the fact that Ryan Reynolds and Hugh Jackman are hacking about without a solid purpose.

In Deadpool & Wolverine—the new superhero movie that ushers both title characters into the Marvel Cinematic Universe—Deadpool is obsessed with doing something worthwhile. He wants to matter and serve a higher purpose. And he does, for Marvel Studios has pinned all its 2024 hopes on a foul-mouthed wisecracking guy it had no hand in creating.
