Deadpool and Wolverine tops $US1 billion at box office
Deadpool and Wolverine has become the first Marvel Studios movie since 2021’s Spider-Man: No Way Home to cross $US1 billion ($A1.5 billion) at the global box office.
Starring Ryan Reynolds and Hugh Jackman, the blockbuster has become the second biggest movie of 2024 and was the number one movie in North America for a third consecutive weekend.
Despite its success, Reynolds, 47, isn’t sure whether it will be his last outing as the Merc with a Mouth because director Shawn Levy made the film as “a complete experience” that doesn’t set up future instalments.
Speaking to Collider, Reynolds said: “I would say Shawn made it pretty clear, and I think in the most loving way because, talk about the greatest uptown problem any human being could have is a studio like that saying, ‘What’s next?’ or, ‘How can we make something else?’
“But this movie was made as a complete experience. It wasn’t meant to be a commercial for another movie. It wasn’t meant to be any of that stuff. I get a great deal of joy making a movie like that.
“But honestly, right at this moment, I have no idea if I’ll ever wear that Deadpool suit again. I hope I do, but I don’t know. Right now’s the time to just kind of hang it up for a bit and see what happens next.”
