Marvel’s Deadpool & Wolverine trailer made history by becoming the most-viewed movie trailer of all time, with 365 million views in just 24 hours after its release. The trailer debuted during the Super Bowl 2024, capturing the attention of viewers around the world as the Kansas City Chiefs faced off against the San Francisco 49ers.
Before Deadpool & Wolverine took the crown, the trailer for Spider-Man: No Way Home held the title for the most viewed movie trailer in the first 24 hours of its release, with 355.5 million views. The two trailers for Avengers: Endgame and Amazon Prime Video’s sneak peek of The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power round up the list.
Deadpool & Wolverine recently wrapped up production, overcoming the challenges posed by the dual Hollywood strikes of the WGA and SAG-AFTRA. With post-production now in full swing, the film is on track for a summer 2024 release. As Marvel’s sole release for the year, following delays of other anticipated titles like Captain America: Brave New World and Blade, Deadpool & Wolverine stands out as an important release for Disney following the underwhelming reviews of the MCU’s Phase 4.
Who is working on Deadpool & Wolverine?
Deadpool & Wolverine reunites Shawn Levy with Ryan Reynolds, following their successful collaboration on Free Guy and The Adam Project. Additionally, the film marks another reunion for Levy, this time with Hugh Jackman, whom he previously directed in Real Steel.
Deadpool & Wolverine also holds special significance as it marks the character’s entry into the Marvel Cinematic Universe following Disney’s acquisition of 21st Century Fox. The film is set to maintain the R-rating that has been a hallmark of the Deadpool series, even under the Disney umbrella.
The Deadpool & Wolverine script was developed by Rhett Reese and Paul Wernick, the writers behind the first two films in the series, with the Molyneux sisters having worked on an earlier draft. The cast includes Morena Baccarin, Brianna Hildebrand, Leslie Uggams, Karan Soni, and Stefan Kapičić.
Deadpool & Wolverine is currently scheduled to hit theaters on July 26, 2024. Stay tuned for the latest news about the future of the Marvel Cinematic Universe!
