Deadpool's peaceful existence comes crashing down when the Time Variance Authority recruits him to help safeguard the multiverse. He soon unites with his would-be pal, Wolverine, to complete the mission and save his world from an existential threat.
Deadpool & Wolverine is a 2024 American superhero film based on Marvel Comics featuring the characters Deadpool and Wolverine, produced by Marvel Studios, Maximum Effort, and 21 Laps Entertainment and distributed by Walt Disney Studios Motion Pictures. It is the 34th film in the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) and the sequel to Deadpool (2016) and Deadpool 2 (2018). The film is directed by Shawn Levy from a screenplay he wrote with Ryan Reynolds, Rhett Reese, Paul Wernick, and Zeb Wells. Reynolds and Hugh Jackman star as Wade Wilson / Deadpool and Logan / Wolverine, respectively, alongside Emma Corrin, Morena Baccarin, Rob Delaney, Leslie Uggams, Aaron Stanford, and Matthew Macfadyen in supporting roles. In the film, Deadpool discovers that his universe is set to be destroyed by the Time Variance Authority due to the death of his universe's Wolverine, and he partners with a reluctant Wolverine from another universe to save his own.
Development on a third Deadpool film began at 20th Century Fox by November 2016, but was placed on hold after the studio was acquired by Disney in March 2019. Control of the character was transferred to Marvel Studios, which began developing a new film with Reynolds. It integrates Deadpool from the X-Men film series with the MCU and retains the R rating of the previous Deadpool films, marking a first for the MCU. Wendy Molyneux and Lizzie Molyneux-Logelin joined in November 2020 as writers. Reese and Wernick returned from the previous films for rewrites by March 2022, when Levy was hired as director. They, along with Reynolds and Wells, had difficulty figuring out the film's story until Jackman decided to reprise his role as Wolverine from the X-Men films in August 2022, alongside numerous actors from various non-MCU productions. Filming began in May 2023 at Pinewood Studios in England, with additional filming in Norfolk and at Bovingdon Film Studios. Production was suspended in July due to the 2023 SAG-AFTRA strike, but resumed in November and wrapped in January 2024. The film's title was revealed a month later. The film is dedicated to its production designer Ray Chan, who died three months before the film's release.
Deadpool & Wolverine premiered on July 22, 2024, at the David H. Koch Theater in New York City, and was released in the United States on July 26, as part of Phase Five of the MCU. It has grossed over $590.6 million worldwide, making it the fourth-highest-grossing film of 2024.
In 2018, Wade Wilson uses Cable's time-traveling device to cross from his native timeline of Earth-10005[a] to Earth-616—the "Sacred Timeline"[b]—where he meets Happy Hogan and unsuccessfully requests to join the Avengers.
Six years later, Wade has retired from being the masked mercenary known as Deadpool and is working as a used-car salesman with his friend Peter Wisdom after breaking up with his girlfriend Vanessa Carlysle. During his birthday party, the Time Variance Authority (TVA) captures Wade and brings him to Mr. Paradox, who offers him a place on Earth-616. However, Paradox also reveals that Wade's timeline is deteriorating as a result of the death of its stabilizing "anchor being", Logan.[c] Paradox details his plans to use the "Time Ripper", a device he developed to mercy kill timelines, to prematurely destroy Wade's timeline. Wade steals Paradox's TemPad to escape and dig up Logan's grave. When he fails to resurrect Logan, Wade uses the TemPad to travel the multiverse and find a variant[d] of Logan to save his timeline.
After encountering various Logan variants, Wade takes one back to the TVA, where he learns that this particular Logan is considered the worst Wolverine in the multiverse. After an argument, Wade learns that Paradox is acting without the knowledge of his superiors, which prompts Paradox to prune Wade and Logan into the Void. There, Wade and Logan fight before they and Johnny Storm[e] are captured and taken to Cassandra Nova, the twin sister of X-Men leader Charles Xavier. Cassandra, who was pruned as an infant but made a deal with the TVA to stay willingly in the Void, kills Johnny and leaves Wade and Logan to be consumed by Alioth, although the two manage to escape.
Logan and Wade meet a variant of Wade called "Nicepool", who gives them a car and points them to the Void's borderlands, where the resistance against Cassandra is located. However, Logan chastises Wade for hiding the fact that he is unable to fix Logan's timeline, leading to a fight that leaves them both unconscious. Laura[f] drives them to the borderlands, where they meet resistance members Elektra,[g] Blade,[h] and Gambit.[i] Wade dubs them the "Others" and proposes an alliance to fight Cassandra. Logan refuses to cooperate, but eventually relents after a conversation with Laura about his inability to save the X-Men in his universe. Wade, Logan, and the Others go to confront Cassandra, and manage to block her powers by placing Juggernaut's helmet on her head. However, Cassandra is betrayed and injured by her henchman Pyro on behalf of Paradox. Logan convinces Wade to remove the helmet, allowing Cassandra to heal and open a portal back to Wade's timeline.
Arriving on Earth-10005, Wade and Logan find that Paradox has completed the Time Ripper. Cassandra, having learned of Paradox's plan from Pyro before executing him, arrives through another portal and kidnaps Paradox to reach his machine. She plans to use the Time Ripper to destroy all timelines, leaving only the Void, as revenge for Paradox's betrayal. Cassandra summons an army of Deadpool variants who kill Nicepool and battle Wade and Logan until Peter arrives and convinces the variants to relent. Paradox tells Wade and Logan that one of them could destroy the Time Ripper by disrupting its power flow, though such an action would atomize them. Using both of their bodies as conductors, Wade and Logan destroy the Time Ripper, killing Cassandra in the process, but survive as they shared the burden. Paradox is then arrested by Hunter B-15 from the TVA.
B-15 reveals that Wade and Logan's actions have stopped Wade's timeline from deteriorating. Wade requests B-15 free the Others from the Void, before asking if it is possible to rewrite the history of Logan's timeline. B-15 says it was his history that made Logan the hero needed to stop Cassandra and that there is nothing to fix. Logan, who wishes to retire and live a peaceful life, bids farewell to Wade, who takes him to meet his friends, alongside Laura. On Logan's encouragement, Wade reconciles with Vanessa.
