As a seasoned gamer and die-hard Marvel fan with a knack for deciphering cinematic subtext, I must say that Ryan Reynolds’ recent statement about the uncertain future of Deadpool in the MCU has me scratching my virtual popcorn bowl in confusion.

The latest MCU film featuring Deadpool & Wolverine has been the most successful recently, raking in a whopping $1.338 billion globally. It generated $636.7 million within the U.S. and Canada, an additional $701.3 million overseas, and a substantial $84 million from IMAX screenings, placing it fifth among Marvel films in that format.

In its initial release, it shattered multiple box office milestones, and upon debuting on Disney+, it dominated the streaming rankings during its first week, amassing a staggering 1.34 billion minutes of view time from November 11-17, 2024.

The streaming favorites following Deadpool & Wolverine on Netflix are Hot Frosty with 458 million minutes watched, closely followed by 439 million minutes for Hot Frosty as well. Other popular movies include Twisters on Peacock with 428 million minutes, The Lost City with 362 million minutes split between Netflix and Paramount+, and Moana with 311 million minutes on Disney+.
