“Deadpool & Wolverine Trailer Breaks Record with 365 Million Views in 24 Hours”
The Super Bowl is known for its thrilling football game, star-studded halftime show, and of course, the highly anticipated commercials. But this year, it was a movie trailer that stole the show. Marvel Studio’s threequel, Deadpool & Wolverine, dropped its first trailer just before kickoff, and it quickly became the most watched movie trailer in history, racking up a staggering 365 million views in just 24 hours.
The record-breaking response to the trailer is a much-needed win for Marvel and its parent company Disney. In recent times, the studio has seen its fame and fortune diminish, and like its rivals, it has been facing superhero fatigue among moviegoers. But with Deadpool & Wolverine, Marvel is hoping to reenergize the studio and captivate audiences once again.
Starring Ryan Reynolds and Hugh Jackman, two beloved actors in the superhero genre, this summer blockbuster is set to be a thrilling ride. Directed by Shawn Levy, the film has faced its fair share of challenges, including a lengthy production delay caused by last year’s SAG-AFTRA strike. However, Reynolds and Levy have remained determined to meet their July 26 release date in North America.
What sets Deadpool & Wolverine apart from other Marvel films is that it will be the studio’s first R-rated movie. Additionally, it will be the first film led by a hero that previously appeared in movies made by 20th Century Fox. When Disney acquired Fox in 2019, they also gained the rights to characters like the X-Men and mutants, including Deadpool. This acquisition opened up new possibilities for Marvel and allowed them to explore different storytelling styles.
The first Deadpool film, released in 2016, was a game-changer for the superhero genre. Its irreverent and comedic tone resonated with audiences and catapulted Ryan Reynolds to new heights as an actor, producer, and even marketer. The 2018 sequel was equally successful, solidifying Deadpool’s place as one of the highest-grossing films in the X-Men series. Now, with Deadpool & Wolverine, Reynolds is joined by Emma Corrin and Matthew Macfadyen, as well as Hugh Jackman, who is reprising his iconic role as Wolverine after initially retiring from the character in 2017’s Logan.
The trailer’s immense popularity is a testament to the anticipation surrounding this film. Fans are eager to see how Deadpool and Wolverine’s paths will intersect and what kind of chaos and humor will ensue. Reynolds himself had a hand in crafting the script, working alongside writers Rhett Reese, Paul Wernick, Zeb Wells, and director Shawn Levy.
Marvel is banking on Deadpool & Wolverine to be a heroic feat that will reignite the studio’s fame and fortune. With its record-breaking trailer views and a star-studded cast, this film has all the ingredients for a summer blockbuster that will captivate audiences worldwide. As fans eagerly await its release, one thing is for certain: Deadpool & Wolverine is set to make a lasting impact on the superhero genre and cement Marvel’s place at the forefront of cinematic storytelling.
