As a long-time enthusiast of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, I must say that the success of Deadpool & Wolverine has left me utterly elated and impressed. Having followed Kevin Feige’s journey since the inception of this grand saga, it’s awe-inspiring to witness the growth and evolution of these stories that have captivated millions worldwide.


Kevin Feige, the mastermind behind the Marvel Cinematic Universe who has delivered top-tier superhero films for fans, is rejoicing over the triumph of Marvel’s latest box office hit, Deadpool & Wolverine. Starring Ryan Reynolds and Hugh Jackman, this movie exceeded predictions to become Marvel’s most financially successful R-rated film ever!

As an over-the-moon Marvel enthusiast, I can’t contain my excitement after catching a glimpse of the official Marvel Studios tweet, which showcased a heartfelt note penned by the legendary Kevin Feige himself! The picture revealed a congratulatory message from him to the team, celebrating our beloved movie’s unprecedented success. Here’s an excerpt that left me spellbound: “Can you believe it? The fact that audiences are adoring this film just as much as we all poured our hearts into crafting it makes every late-night conversation worthwhile.” Truly, these words resonate with the passion and pride we all share for Marvel Studios’ masterpieces!

Previously, Reynolds, the star and co-producer of the movie, shared a lighter take on the film’s success compared to Feige, with a playful caption. “Imagine if Hugh had gone full frontal, but with the cowl on,” was the actor’s post on X.

In its fourth weekend, the latest R-rated box office king has amassed an astounding $1.04 billion worldwide, outperforming the previous record holder, 2019’s Joker from Warner Bros., which made $1.03 billion. Joining the ranks of MCU films such as The Avengers, Avengers: Infinity War, Black Panther, Spider-Man: No Way Home, and Avengers: Endgame, Deadpool & Wolverine have now surpassed the $500 million mark at the domestic box office.

In the brainstorming phase of the film, Director Shawn Levy and Reynolds enjoyed considerable creative freedom since they were producing a Deadpool movie, and there was no interference with the script from Feige as he acknowledged that “anything goes” when it comes to Deadpool. This was shared by Marvel executive producer Wendy Jacobson at the 2024 San Diego Comic-Con.

Additionally, she disclosed that the whole team embarked on the filmmaking journey with close collaboration and keen awareness, striving diligently to produce work true to the essence of Deadpool movies as a whole.

During the gathering, Feige voiced his perspective on the movie, labeling it as the “most heartwarming R-rated production ever made.” He further explained, “Indeed, it carries an R rating due to some explicit language and violence, but emotionally, it’s quite profound. It truly encapsulates the essence of friendship, family, and the bonds formed through shared experiences.”
