The idea of Deadpool and Wolverine starring in a film together has been teased for years, and now that dream is coming to fruition with the action-packed and hilarious new Marvel movie.

In the film, Deadpool’s peaceful existence comes crashing down when the Time Variance Authority, also known as the TVA, recruits him to help safeguard the multiverse, which requires him to bring back one of the living Wolverines from a different timeline. As expected, the two butt heads immediately and struggle to work as team to take down their common enemy. But as they go on a mission filled with throwback MCU characters and numerous obstacles, they learn the two have more in common then they think.

We still need a break from superhero movies and from the multiverse/timeline plots, but this film isn’t a formulaic Marvel movie. Some might even complain that there is no narrative, but that seems to director Shawn Levy’s intent. “Deadpool & Wolverine” is meant to make fun of the over bloated superhero films and the mistakes of studios, while paying homage to the former X-Men universe that has created iconic movies, good and bad, featuring memorable characters we will forever hold dear to our hearts. Not to say there isn’t a story, it’s just more along the lines of a high-quality spoof w/ a ton of A-list actors. The on-screen chemistry between Hugh Jackman and Ryan Reynolds is enough to make this a must-see.

And while the plot won’t really stick with you, the fight sequences paired with one of the best soundtracks will, proving Madonna’s “Like A Prayer” has powerful effect when it is played in any circumstance. Deadpool & Wolverine is non-stop laughs, surprises, and fun. The dynamic duo we have been waiting for delivers with energetic, witty, and unforgettable performances that leave you wanting more.
