The previous record holder, “Spider-Man: No Way Home,” garnered 355.5 million views in its first day back in 2021.

“Deadpool and Wolverine” is set to hit theaters on July 26 and will mark the introduction of Ryan Reynolds’ R-rated Merc With a Mouth into Disney’s family-friendly Marvel Cinematic Universe. Deadpool, known for his irreverent humor and fourth-wall-breaking antics, wasted no time poking fun at Disney in the first trailer. Referring to himself as “Marvel Jesus,” Deadpool finds himself in the same world as the Avengers after being kidnapped by the Time Variance Authority, last seen in “Loki.”
While Hugh Jackman’s Wolverine doesn’t make a physical appearance in the trailer, fans were thrilled to learn that he will be joining the MCU in the third “Deadpool” movie. This crossover from the “X-Men” universe to the MCU has been highly anticipated and is sure to delight fans of both franchises.
