Deadpool Movies Ranked After Deadpool & Wolverine

I’ve been a dedicated gamer and comic book fan for most of my life, so it comes as no surprise that Marvel’s Deadpool & Wolverine left me both entertained and slightly disappointed. Having grown up reading the Deadpool comics, I was excited to see these two iconic characters share the big screen in an R-rated, action-packed adventure.

Marvel’s Deadpool and Wolverine surpassed box-office estimates during the weekend, raking in over $400M globally. This success can be attributed to positive critiques from critics and enthusiastic responses from viewers. However, are the upcoming sequel’s merits up to par? Or, more intriguingly, how does it stack up against the other Deadpool films in this trilogy? Keep reading to discover the answer.

3) Deadpool (2016)

1. “I haven’t been particularly fond of Deadpool, and that’s likely why I waited until after watching Deadpool & Wolverine to revisit the original movie. Watching it again, directed by Tim Miller, my opinion hasn’t shifted much, although I’ve grown fonder of the character in more recent times.”

In this paraphrased version, Ryan Reynolds excels in the lead part, bringing an irritating yet charming performance. Directed by Miller, Deadpool is anything but subtle and provides numerous coarse-language jokes and intense action scenes that are rated R. Although it becomes tiresome at times, Deadpool mainly succeeds in providing a fun and entertaining experience.

uniquely, this origin tale seems reminiscent of an older time when studios had more freedom, allowing them to joke about almost anything without facing much criticism. Despite not being the greatest movie, I really appreciate Deadpool’s boldness.

2) Deadpool 2 (2018)

1. David Leitch replaces Tim Miller, given a more substantial budget, expertly utilizes the opportunity to direct the red and black, witty superhero duo known for their humor. The action sequences are intensified, the dialogues are more cleverly crafted, and the geeky aspect is amplified.

With a few exceptions of questionable scenes, Deadpool 2 delivers an enjoyable experience by introducing a diverse group of characters that keep the balance between the humor and seriousness just right. Notably, Josh Brolin as Cable and Zazie Beetz as Domino bring more depth to the film, even though, like the first installment, it’s largely filled with hot air. Nevertheless, it’s an entertaining ride.

1) Deadpool & Wolverine (2024)

1. The initial two Deadpool films share many similarities except for bigger action sequences and a more enhanced color scheme. However, the addition of Hugh Jackman as Wolverine in the third movie gives it a notable lift. The portrayal of Wolverine, who is known for his constant brooding, is particularly accurate to the comic books.

As a dedicated fan, I must admit that Deadpool’s storyline about saving his world’s time continuum was more puzzling than rewarding. The excessive celebrity appearances, though amusing at first glance, seemed like an urgent ploy to re-engage Marvel enthusiasts. However, the electrifying camaraderie between Jackman and Reynolds, combined with thrilling action scenes and a tangible love for comic book lore, catapulted this third installment to the pinnacle of box office success.

For me, I’ve been eagerly anticipating each viewing of D&W (Dan Scanlon and Pixar’s “Onward”) since the emotional rollercoaster that was “Avengers: Infinity War.”

As a die-hard Deadpool fan, here’s my take: I can’t help but ponder how these three action-packed movies will age over time. They’re undeniably products of the current zeitgeist, with their humor, pop culture nods, and wacky guest appearances that might not resonate as strongly in a few years. And let’s face it, when you have a plot that’s already on the lighter side, those shortcomings get magnified. Don’t get me wrong; I had a blast watching them. But I can’t help but feel that the team behind these movies missed an opportunity to create something truly exceptional. Instead, we got a fun, yet predictable cinematic ride.

It’s interesting, given that Deadpool’s primary goal in the movie is to move beyond his usual joke gimmick.

Kevin Feige was believed by many, including myself, to either eliminate or reconfigure the multiverse concept through D&W (Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness). However, I was taken aback as he instead intensified its presence, subtly employing it to generate interest in his Disney+ series. Wunmi Mosaku’s B-15 and the Time Variance Authority (TVA) are just two examples of intriguing plotlines that Feige is using as lures, hoping fans will be enticed enough to subscribe to Disney+ for more information. A definite switch from what was anticipated!

1. Despite its simplicity, the movie manages to impress and seems to mark progress for Marvel in the right direction. I’d much rather watch an uncomplicated, fan-pleasing adventure starring Deadpool and Wolverine than endure a series like She-Hulk any day of the week.
