Deadpool & Wolverine 2 (2025)

More Blood. More Blades. More Banter.

In the wildest, most unhinged Marvel sequel yet, Deadpool & Wolverine 2 (2025) delivers a riotous ride through timelines, trauma, and twisted humor — proving once again that the oddest duo in the multiverse is also the most irresistible.

Directed by Shawn Levy, the sequel picks up right after the multiversal mayhem of the first Deadpool & Wolverine, with Wade Wilson (Ryan Reynolds) and Logan (Hugh Jackman) thrown back together against their better judgment. This time, a corrupted TVA fragment has triggered a rift that resurrects threats from across alternate realities, including a dystopian version of the X-Men and a shadow variant of Wolverine himself. The only way to fix it? Team up, tear through timelines, and break a few more rules (and fourth walls) along the way.

Reynolds and Jackman’s chemistry is sharper than Wolverine’s claws. The banter is relentless, the meta-humor cuts deep, and the film never misses a chance to poke fun at Marvel, Fox, Disney, and even itself. Their dynamic is chaotic perfection — Deadpool’s motor-mouthed lunacy and Logan’s gruff, world-weary sarcasm play off each other in every scene, making this the most rewatchable superhero entry in years.

The film also expands the roster, introducing fan-favorites like Domino (Zazie Beetz) and Cable (Josh Brolin) while throwing in surprise cameos from across the MCU and Fox universes. A returning Mobius (Owen Wilson) and a mysteriously reprogrammed Miss Minutes add TVA absurdity, while the inclusion of Dafne Keen’s X-23 adds genuine heart and depth.

Visually, the sequel is a spectacle — jumping from post-apocalyptic wastelands to retro-styled TVA outposts and twisted timelines where mutants rule or are hunted. The action is visceral and creative, with slick choreography that leans into each character’s unique strengths. Logan’s brutality meets Wade’s absurd indestructibility in glorious, gory harmony.

But amid the violence and sarcasm, Deadpool & Wolverine 2 finds surprising emotional beats. Both characters confront their legacies and regrets, and for the first time, Deadpool reveals the weight behind his jokes — particularly in scenes involving a haunting glimpse of his family’s past in an alternate timeline.

The script by Rhett Reese and Paul Wernick blends irreverence with emotional stakes better than ever. This isn’t just parody — it’s a story about survival, friendship, and reluctant heroism in a world where nothing makes sense anymore. The fourth wall isn’t just broken — it’s obliterated, with Deadpool frequently addressing the audience about upcoming MCU phases, secret cameos, and even rival studio releases.

Backed by a killer soundtrack (yes, Dolly Parton does make an appearance), and stylized, bloody brilliance, Deadpool & Wolverine 2 is everything fans could hope for: a brutal bromance, a meta masterpiece, and a comic-book movie that remembers how to have dangerous amounts of fun.

As Deadpool says mid-battle: “We may be the multiverse's last hope... but at least we look cool doing it.”
