Finally Watching DEADPOOL & WOLVERINE For The First Time! *Commentary/Reaction* 

did i miss any easter eggs? comment them down below!

According to the director, Henry Cavill said yes to playing an alternate Wolverine with zero hesitation. You can tell he's having a blast. The best cameo along with Wesley.

Everyone: OHHHH MYYYYY GAWDDDD ITS BLADE Angie: Wow this music is awesome :)

“WooImboutamakeanameformyselfhere.” *~Gambit*

critics: MCU is dying, no one wants superhero movies anymore, we're done with multiverse movies Wade and Logan: Hold our beer!

About the "Like a Prayer" song. Ryan Reynolds wrote the scene with all Deadpools fight around this song, and when it came to post-production, it turned out the song is not for licensing. So Shawn Levi and Ryan Reynolds went to Madonna herself and after a talk, she allowed to use this song. This was a story told in one of the press-tour interviews for this movie.

Fun fact, Blake Lively played Lady Deadpool and his kids played Kidpool and Babypool

after months of remaining spoiler free and watching all 20 years of hugh jackman's wolverine content...here we are

Now you gotta react to ‘Blade’ (Trilogy) it’s the movie that basically saved marvel from bankruptcy and considered the birth of the MCU by Kevin Feige himself

Not only did Channing Tatum get to fulfill his lifelong dream of being Gambit, but he’s absolutely 100% accurate to the comic version of Gambit. Both in terms of the awesome comic accurate costume, but his personality, dialect and irresistible charm. I hope to God Kevin Feige brings him back for a future X-Men movie because I literally can’t imagine anyone else playing Gambit.

Wesley Snipes set 2 Guinness World Records thanks to this appearance: One for longest time span between first and most recent appearance as the same Marvel superhero character (his first appearance as Blade came in 1998, 26 years ago, surpassing previous record held by Patrick Stewart (who had a 22 year span)) and the second being longest GAP between consecutive appearances as the said character (he last played the role in BLADE: TRINITY 20 years prior in 2004). Hugh Jackman and Tyler Mane also surpassed Patrick Stewart's previous time span record as well, having 24 years between first X-MEN and now. Jennifer Garner set the equivalent female records (21 years since first appearance in DAREDEVIL (2003) and 19 years since last playing the role in ELEKTRA (2005)).

Yes, Ryan had a dance double. During promo for DP2 he talked about some kind of hip thing being why he didn’t personally perform the dancing in the music video for the Celine Dion song Buck not having speaking lines is a callback to DP2! He told Buck no more speaking lines! 😂 Wolverine is in fact quite short in the comics. 5”3. A long time nitpick of Hugh Jackman’s casting was him not being short enough. Wolverine variant rundown in order. •Comic accurate height •Weapon X (Age of Apocalypse) •X crucified ala Uncanny X Men 251 cover •Patch. Gambling alias he uses in Madripoor, which has appeared in the MCU! •Old Man Logan •Henry Cavill Wolverine may be an action figure reference It took so long for the classic blue and yellow because being faithful to the more cartoonish colorful looks was considered risky, wouldn’t be taken seriosuly enough, with a few exceptions like Spidey. Also The Matrix made black leather popular Yup, that’s Pyro from the original trilogy Dogpool is played by famous dog actor Peggy. You don’t know Blade?! Also Ryan Reynolds was in the third Blade movie, and Wesley Snipes wasn’t fond of him, hence Deadpool saying “You never did [like me]. Blade is getting an MCU movie starring Mahershala Ali, and it’s been delayed numerous times The woman was Elektra from the Ben Affleck Daredevil movie and self titled movie played by Jennifer Garner If you didn’t know, there was supposed to be a Gambit movie starring Channing Tatum. It got put on hold when Disney bought Fox, and then they just cancelled it. After this, Tatum said he hoped it would renew interest in the movie, but it’s ultimately up to Feige. Ryan Reynolds also said he’d like to work on it with Tatum. And he released a deleted scene of a portal opening for Gambit, implying he makes it out of the void. You can actually see it on one of the TVA screens in the credit scene Yes, it’s meant to be the same Laura I believe. A Laura movie was said to be in development but it seems we haven’t gottan any news since 2017 This is definitely meant to be the Deadpool from the first two

It indeed was a dance double in the "Bye Bye Bye" intro. Ryan Reynolds jokingly stated that he's too old and arthritic to be able to dance like that.

“I am yellow” 😂😂 that was a good one

37:19 Elektra was from the Daredevil film from years ago, pre-MCU, starring Ben Affleck. She also had her own movie. Jon Favreau played Foggy, who was Daredevils best friend. So kind of meta for him to cameo as Happy in essentially a Fox tribute film haha

0:23 was not expecting that joke 😂

So probably a dozen other nerds have already said this, but: Tatum has been wanting to play Gambit for basically his entire career, and it never came through. Wesley Snipes was the original Blade, his trilogy around the turn of the century was one of the sparks that led to the superhero inferno we've been privileged to live through since. Jennifer Garner played Elektra in the very first Daredevil film, as well as her own spinoff film that was... not very good, unfortunately. Chris Evans was Johnny Storm from Fantastic Four. Basically all of these cameos were Fox-owned Marvel superheroes that are now owned by the Mouse House, and this film was a way to salute them while also sending them off, because with very few exceptions, probably all of them will be recast (the process already having started with the Netflix Daredevil and Charlie Cox being officially the MCU Daredevil.) It would be pretty sweet if they could let Tatum play Gambit going forward though. Anyway I really enjoyed this reaction. It was hilarious how you lost your mind when Dafne Keen showed up.

That was Jennifer Garner who played Electra in the first "Dare Devil" movie with Ben Affleck. And that was Wesley Snipes who played "Blade", which Ryan Reynolds was in "Blade: Trinity" with. Neither one of them has aged a year!

Thought I'd break down all the differant Wolverine variants for you: *Short King Wolverine* - Standing at 5'3", Wolverine (Earth-616) first appeared in The Incredible Hulk #180-181 (1974). Despite his short stature, he’s portrayed as a fierce Canadian mutant with an unyielding spirit. Wolverine officially joined the X-Men in Giant-Size X-Men #1 (1975). While canonically 5'3", he’s often drawn closer to 5'5" in the comics, though his short, stocky build remains one of his defining traits. *Age of Apocalypse* (Weapon X) - In this alternate timeline, Legion (Earth-616) goes back in time and accidentally causes the death of his own father, Charles Xavier, while he’s still in college. This event births a new timeline (Earth-295) where Apocalypse rises to power 10 years earlier, leading to Earth’s domination. Without Xavier, the X-Men never form, and Wolverine becomes Weapon X, sporting black leather, a metal right hand, and longer, wild hair as he navigates a dystopian world. This version of Logan is darker and even more savage due to the grim circumstances of this timeline. This timeline would re-place the mainline X-Men comics for a while until it was fixed, reverting back to the Earth-616 we know and love. *Patch* - While operating in Madripoor, Wolverine (Earth-616) took on the alias "Patch" to blend into the criminal underworld. Sporting a white tuxedo and an eyepatch, Logan’s new persona first appeared in Wolverine #1 (1988). As Patch, he explored a more noir-style setting, using his wits and raw strength to navigate the dangers of Madripoor, all while concealing his identity. This could've been a whole solo Wolverine film on itself but it's cool we at least got a small cameo. *Old Man Logan* - First appearing in Wolverine #66 (2008), Old Man Logan exists in an alternate dystopian timeline (Earth-807128) ruled by villains. Haunted by a tragic past in which he was tricked into killing the X-Men, this older, broken version of Wolverine lives in a world where the heroes have fallen, and villains have taken control. Old Man Logan’s arc is a deeply emotional and violent tale, highlighting his vulnerability in his later years. This is the same comic that inspired Logan (2017). *80s Wolverine* - John Byrne’s iconic yellow-and-brown costume, which first appeared in The Uncanny X-Men #139 (1980), became a staple of Wolverine’s (Earth-616) look throughout the decade. It marked a shift from his earlier yellow-and-blue suit, which debuted during his initial appearance in The Incredible Hulk #181 (1974) and later in Giant-Size X-Men #1 (1975) when he officially joined the X-Men. Logan would don the yellow-and-brown costume during memorable battles, including his fight against the Hulk in The Incredible Hulk #340 (1988), making it one of his most enduring and beloved outfits. *Yellow & Blue* - The yellow and blue suit worn by Wolverine in this film is a modernized take on his iconic costume first introduced in Giant-Size X-Men #1 (1975). This design was later reimagined by Jim Lee in the late '80s and early '90s, X-Men: The Animated Series and X-Men '97 used Jim Lee's designs as well. The suit was then updated for the 21st century in the comics with Astonishing X-Men (2004), blending classic elements with modern design. For many fans, the yellow and blue suit remains Wolverine's definitive look, thanks to the lasting impact of the animated series and how it's used across a bunch of media such as arcade games throughout the 1990s.

4 top scenes, Henry Cavill as Logan, Laura assembling the squad, Channing Tatum embracing Gambit, and Huge Jackman pulling up his mask. This whole movie was truly a meme and a masterpiece all in one.

Wesley Snipes' Blade (1998) was the first Marvel Movie, predating X-Men and Spider-Man. It was very adult themed and established that comic book movies could be good and work for a mature audience. They did two more, and Snipes was allegedly difficult to deal with in all of them. Then he went to prison for tax evasion for (2+ years). Reynolds also starred in Blade 3 with Snipes, and supposedly there was friction between the two on set. Despite all this, fans still live Snipes' Blade. So, he was the most mind blowing cameo in this movie for many fans!

37:15 the black dude was Blade. The actual REAL first black marvel hero and Blade (name of the movie) basically started the entire super hero movie genre. The girl was Electra and she was also in one of the earliest super hero movies. There's a line deadpool says at the end "there's some people everyone forgot about." That line, the cameos and the behind the scene end credits was basically a love letter to the OG super hero movies that crawled so current day marvel could run.

Omg.... I did not realize that's Mr. Darcy! 🤦‍♀️

And yes I know Hugh Jackman is Australian but Wolverine is Canadian

Not only this is another amazing multiverse movie that also makes fun of multiverse movies itself, but it’s also like a sweet tribute to the 20th Century Fox Marvel movies. Even the tribute during the end credits was super sweet.

Well, ain’t that somethin’, sugah! Finally seein’ my favorite Cajun, Gambit, back on the big screen! That charmin' devil always knows how to light up a room 'bout time folks see how much of a powerhouse he really is! And him teamin' up with Wolverine? Talk about a dream team! My heart’s racin’ faster than a game of cards in New Orleans. Just wait till y'all see what he’s capable of when he’s throwin' those charged-up cards at the bad guys. Can’t wait, cher! 💚⚜

To answer your question at 3:57, that was not Ryan Reynolds dancing. It was a professional dancer named Nick Pauley. You might not doubt Ryan Reynolds's dancing skills, but he himself does doubt his own dance moves. And fun fact, this movie along brought Bye Bye Bye back onto the Top Music Charts literally decades after it's original release, like how the Wednesday Dance helped Lady Gaga's Bloody Mary make a comeback.

The way she had no idea who *Elektra Natchios & Blade* were 💀

some interesting info is that Blade was the very first widely successful marvel movie, and it was the movie that literally saved marvel from Bankruptcy.

14:18 she and Deadpool made the same sound at the same time😂

36:46 Yep same Deadpool from the first 2 movies. TVA wanted to pluck him out of the FoX-Men universe but him and Logan ended up saving it So currently they are both living in the saved FoX-Men universe, along with Dogpool and Laura from Logan (who technically is from the future of that same universe....?) Time travel is screwy lol

All the extra characters are Marvel characters who had movies by 20th Century Fox. Elektra, the Blade Trilogy, Fantastic 4, X-Men. In Gambit's case, it was a cancelled movie. Channing was set to play Gambit in it, too. People have said this is less a "Hello, MCU" and more a "Goodbye, Fox" movie. This Gambit is based on the Comic and Animated Gambit. His ability is to charge items with high levels of kinetic energy so they explode shortly after he breaks contact. He prefers to throw cards because of his history as a gambler. I'm also not sure if you saw it in the credits, but Ladypool was voiced by Blake Lively, Ryan's wife. Kidpool was played by their daughter, and Babypool their son. Oh, and Nicepool was played by Gordon Reynolds, Ryan's evil twin brother.

6:30 yes! You go girl! Should def do a Yukio costume for Halloween!

"Im Yellow" LOL

Loved that the line from Laura, "You were always the wrong guy" works on a meta level as Hugh Jackman was criticized by the X men fandom when he was first announced for the role. Deadpool telling Hugh what we all want to tell him "You were the best Wolverine."

Fun fact: Dogpool is actually a real dog and an actual cast member of the movie. Her real name is Peggy, aka Mary Puppins, aka Dogpool and she won the ugliest dog in Britain but we shouldn’t tell her that because she, is a 10/10 in our hearts. 🫶

The last thing i expected from this movie was to see Chris Evans reprise his role as Johnny Storm and saying FLAME ON!!!! 🔥

For anyone that might be confused Ryan Reynolds & Wesley snipes do actually like each other it’s just A running joke they held onto for 20 years even Wesley confirmed that but really their good fiends they don’t hate each other

The "Bye Bye Bye" by NSYNC in the intro was the same song Rogue put on in the van when she met Wolverine in the first XMen movie.

I am a little surprised you didn't watch the Daredevil, Elektra, and Blade movies before this as well, since you were being so thorough, but I'm glad you enjoyed it! I've been waiting for your reaction, too, and I know you and Rees worked really hard on it!

I just want to say I always enjoy your reactions. You are always aware of score and soundtrack, plot points, lighting, character development, etc. and that really adds a lot of depth to your reviews. Thanks for always being so informed and entertaining!

if you want more Gambit I highly recommend checking out X-Men '97 (2024) peak rendition of these characters. His outfit is pulled out of both the 90s comics and the Animated Series, though he's played up a little as a "joke" his accent is actually really good. I still prefer A.J. LoCascio from X-Men '97 but Channing Tatum did a really solid job with Gambit. Now I want to see a comic Rogue put to screen with all her southern Dolly Parton charm, massive 90s hair, and the ability to FLY just like the comics.

Channing Tatum working on a NOLA creole accent is the last thing I expected to see, but he pulled it off well. Gambit was always one of my favorite x men (fun fact: Gambit can regenerate. It's not as powerful as Deadpool/Wolverine/X-23 but he can supercharge himself to regenerate)

You need to watch X-men 97 to get to know Gambit

Hugh Jackman's performance is phenomenal in this movie. I mean - everyone is good - but Hugh elevates it so much, he gives this movie so much heart and emotion.

“I am yellow…” as a fellow mellow yellow friend that intro killed me 😂😂

Great to see her geek out as much as she did

I laughed for a good 20 minutes cause of that "Im Yellow?" comment, absolutely sent me 😂😂😂

Funny you mention wanting to see a "Laura" movie. Before Fox got bought by Disney, James Mangold (the director of Logan), wanted to make a continuation/spinoff on Laura. Obviously it didn't happen, but would have been cool to see

The 1st 2 movies (and this one, mostly) take place on Earth-10005

Deadpool and Wolverine versus the Deadpool Corps is one of the all-time greatest comic book fight scenes ever made! Not only is it perfectly choreographed and shot, but it actually looks like a whole comic fight scene that’s so big that it takes two pages to completely showcase the scale of it.

The whole "anchor being" thing is _such_ a great meta-commentary on media series that die off, when a specific character dies or leaves (or just the original actor leaves and is replaced). Logan's death _was_ the death of the Fox Mutants-verse. It was so epic and tragic and poignant that they couldn't take it back - not without fans hunting them down and breaking all their bones. But they also couldn't go _forwards_ without him, because… well, nobody would come to watch, if _he_ wasn't there. It's terribly unfair to all the other actors and creatives, but it's _still true._

Ok, so the lore behind "this" wolverine, basically he turned his back on the x-men at once point, went to drown his sorrows and such, the x-mansion came under attack by anti-mutant group, wolverine returned to find all the x-men dead and went on a rampage killing all the people that killed the x-men, except that is not actually what happened, the mansion was under attack but he was tricked (insert illusion-mind-fuckery-here) into thinking the x-men were those people, so HE in fact killed the x-men, and he didn't know that until later but couldn't face it (I forget the rest of this storyline, but that's the gist of it).

Dafne Keen (Laura, from Logan) is a awesome actress and right after Logan she was cast on HBO and BBC's His Dark Materials TV show. This show is a highly faithfull adaptation of a trilogy of books started with The Golden Compass, whoose movie had Nicole Kidman and Daniel Craig. Whem James McAvoy (Charles Xavier, from Xmen First Class), discovered they're making the show, he ran to his agent to get a part. He would be one of the producers, of the show and cast on the same character as Daniel Craig. Dafne Keen is the main character. 3 seasons, total 23 episodes. Highly recomend it. Also, please give a chance to Your Name, by Makoto Shinkai (2016), beautiful movie.

This isn't just a Deadpool and Wolverine, it's a celebration of the Fox Marvel universe.

The montage during the end credits was so beautiful it was damn near emotional abuse for me. As someone who was 10 years old when the first X-Men movie came out, who literally grew up watching and falling in love with these characters, who also listened to Green Day constantly in the 00’s, my heart was torn apart and put back together during that montage. Hell more than 2/3 of the IMAX theater I was in were cheering and crying during that montage.😭😭😭👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

I’m dying at the “I’m yellow”!! I say the same shit to my coworkers when they want to call me a white guy

Fun fact: there was another Blade, in a short lived non-mcu tv show. Oh and the Gambit movie *was* supposed to be made but it got canceled before preproduction could start. That's why he says "I was born here".

Gonna be hard for anyone to have a more genuinely happy reaction than this 🙌🏼

This isn't an MCU movie This is a Deadpool movie

"I am yellow" 😂 quote of the video and hasnt even started yet

Fun fact Deadpool’s healing factor is dead cells replacing dead cells and wolverine’s healing factor is live cells replacing live cells and the only reason Chris Evan’s wanted to be in the movie is because he wanted to say everything in that scene in the end

AHHHH WATCHING RN BEEN WAITING ALL DAY TO GET BACK ON WOFI TO SEE THIS

fun fact: in the comics, spider-man is usually the anchor being (if and when they become relevant)

Watching this in theaters was awsome!

Elektra(Jennifer Garner) from original Daredevil movie as well as her own. And Blade(Wesley Snipes) from Marvel comic Blade. Half Human half vampire anit hero. There is a trilogy where Ryan Reynolds is actually in the 3rd film as part of Blade's team hunting vampires. So there is some lore there. You mentioned Daredevil series, you should definitely watch on your own. Its a masterpiece. Get ready for Born Again. Easily the most anticipated Marvel project coming up in March. You won't want to miss.

“Immarveljesusyoudullcreatureandiwillnotbebulliedby…” 😂😂😂

18:06 Elektra, played by Jennifer Garner, was from the Ben Affleck Daredevil movie in 2003. It was shortly after working together in the movie that they started dating. The part where they mention that the Daredevil of their group died and Deadpool gives her his condolences, but she just shrugs and says "It's fine.", is a joke about her not being broken up about his death because Jennifer and Ben divorced in 2018. 18:21 Channing Tatum has wanted to play Gambit since he was first chosen to play him in X-Men: Last Stand, but then they wrote the character out, and by the time they decided to use him in Origins: Wolverine, Channing was already contracted to do the G.I. Joe movie. He approached the studio about coming back as Gambit a few years later and they were actually hoping to reintroduce him in the X-Men: Apocalypse movie (2016) with the hopes of getting Gambit his own movie, maybe even a franchise. He's been pushing to be Gambit for almost 20 years, so Deadpool & Wolverine is a dream come true for him.

Please give the Star Trek franchise a chance.

I love that Ryan's wife was in the movie. She filled out that deadpool suit VERY well.

Something that I noticed when watching the movie was that in that one picture with Tony in it in the very beginning in the scene with Happy and Wade the Iron Man helmet from the little kid in Iron Man 2 and that helmet was covering the part of the picture where Peter Parker was shown. Which well makes sense since Dr Strange erased Peter Parker from everyones memory.And I think that's nice little Easter Egg if you can even call it that haha.

Been waiting for this upload 😅

Elektra is from the 2003 Daredevil film (with Ben Affleck as Daredevil!) and then got her own spinoff film in 2005.

your reaction made this all the better, THANK YOU! 👍☺

Wolverine is the first person to shut deadpool up. Also theres a reason this movie is the highest grossing rated R movie in cinema history it made nearly $2 billion.

YES! The reaction I’ve all been waiting for! Also, yes, you can pull of all the YUKIO hairstyles 😁

When she recognized Matthau whatever I definitely just assumed secession then she said pride and prejudice 😂😂😂

"I am yellow "

Completely late here, but this is like 3 in a row for great reactions to movies! Oooooh, can you react to the first twister movie, since Twisters got released recently?

btw that X23 is the one from Logan

0 reaction to Blade was hurtful

So fun fact about Gambit. He was supposed to have a movie for years but never did so him saying “maybe I was born here” was cuz he never really existed.

18:05 Jennifer Garner (Elektra), Wesley Snipes (Blade), Channing Tatum (the Gambit movie that never happened that he wanted to play).

its probably been said but yes he did have stand in for the Nysnc dance. Nick Pauley was his dance double aka Dancepool. The man has a TT account and he's phenomenal. He's a professional dancer and choreographer

So what we learned today is that Ange reeeaally needs to watch Blade.

last one: dude, the bts of the fox marvel movies made me tear up in the theater. it was honestly such a lovely little goodbye/thank you tribute to that era

Leave it to the two best Canadian superheroes to make a great movie

Stan Lee cameo in the "Battle Of The Deadpools".

"They didn't touch him"...proceeds to spin an adamantium spine like a preteen with their first pair of nunchucks! U never forget your first

Even if you aren’t a superhero movie fan, we have to admit that was one of the best intros to a movie ever

Gotta watch the Blade movies. The first one is still one of the best super hero movies out there. Also, fun connection, Ryan Reynolds was in Blade Trinity and it was well known that he and Wesley Snipes didn't get along. That's why Deadpool said "you never did" when Blade said "I don't like you." Also, Electra was from the Ben Aflec Daredevil movie, way before the show. It's not great, but was funny to see Jennifer Garner say "eh, it's fine" about Daredevil being dead since she is Ben Aflac's real world ex wife.

14:39 Gambit is from New Orleans. I think the actor is too - this is actually how people talk where he was born.

I love when Deadpool and Wolverine do the slow walk and Wolvie puts his mask on. The store in the background is called Leifeld's Nothing But Feet. Rob Leifeld is the comic illustrator and creator of Deadpool and was praised highly for his art except for one aspect. He wasn't great at drawing feet and gained some criticism for that so the store sign is kind of an awesome Easter Egg roast for fans of him and the character he created. He also created Domino and Cable so he gets a pass on his poorly drawn feet back in the day.

Fun Fact: Ryan's Wife Blake Lively Voiced Lady Deadpool!!! I LOVED THIS FILM SO MUUUUCCCH!!! Huge Jackman Fan here myself, too 😎😎!!!

Now it's just a matter of the long awaited Spiderman/Deadpool teamup that we've all been waiting for.

Impressive that you avoided all the spoilers. To your question about who chose the songs that you love for the soundtrack, it was Blake Lively (for the most part). She wrote a whole Instagram post about it. The dancer Nick Pauley also posted on IG about his audition and experience doing the Bye Bye Bye dance during the opening credits. And Jennifer Garner wrote some nice posts about not only getting back into shape to play Elektra but also important her stunt double was to playing that character and how great it was to work with her again after the Elektra movie. I mean, there were a TON of social media posts made by everyone involved in making this movie (many of which are worth checking out), but those were the ones that stood out to me.

Nathan Fillion (Malcolm Reynolds from Firefly) and Matt McConaughey played Headpool and Cowboy -pool I love that the Nsync song is a callback to the end of the Deadpool 2 out of ashes music video when Celine Dion told Deadpool to beat it

This movie was so crazy. The cameos and the Easter Eggs. :D

Not knowing Blade is crazy

The MCU has been set in what they are calling the sacred timeline, aka Earth-616. The Fox Marvel movies (X-men, Fantastic Four, Deadpool) have been referred to as being set in Earth-10005. It seems like they are trying to establish that the Avengers did not exist in 10005 and Wade had to go to 616 to try and join them (you can see Cable's time slider device on him in that scene).
