Record-Breaking Trailer Views
The highly-anticipated trailer for Marvel Studio's Deadpool & Wolverine has shattered records, garnering a staggering 365 million views in just 24 hours. This makes it the most watched movie trailer in history, according to Marvel and its parent company Disney.
The view count includes views from the Super Bowl broadcast, which reached an all-time high of 123 million viewers. The trailer's immense popularity is a promising sign for Marvel, which has been facing some decline in recent years and superhero fatigue among audiences.
The previous record holder for most viewed trailer was Spider-Man: No Way Home, with 355 million views in August 2021.
Making of Deadpool 3
Deadpool & Wolverine marks Marvel Studio's first R-rated movie and the first to feature a hero previously seen in 20th Century Fox-produced films. The acquisition of Fox by Disney and Marvel in 2019 granted them the rights to characters like Deadpool and the X-Men.
The first Deadpool film, released in 2016, was a game-changer for the superhero genre with its irreverent and comedic tone. It propelled Ryan Reynolds' career as an actor, producer, and marketer. Both the original film and its 2018 sequel were massive successes at the box office and remain the highest grossing films in the X-Men series.
Releasing on July 26, 2023, Deadpool & Wolverine aims to reinvigorate Marvel's repertoire and captivate audiences once again. Ryan Reynolds, Hugh Jackman, Emma Corrin, and Matthew Macfadyen lead the star-studded cast, with Shawn Levy directing.
Ryan Reynolds' Involvement and Story Details
Ryan Reynolds, along with Rhett Reese, Paul Wernick, Zeb Wells, and Shawn Levy, co-wrote the script for Deadpool & Wolverine. Reynolds has been a driving force behind the franchise since its inception.
The film's plot and storyline remain tightly under wraps, but fans are excited to see Reynolds reprise his role as Deadpool and Jackman returning as Wolverine, despite initially retiring the character after 2017's Logan.
Deadpool 3 is expected to continue the tradition of blending humor and action that made the previous two films so successful. The movie will undoubtedly push the boundaries of the superhero genre, being Marvel's first venture into R-rated territory.
