The world premiere of Marvel Studios' Deadpool and Wolverine is currently underway in New York, with the first full press screenings taking place in various other locations, and the social media embargo has now lifted.

The first reactions are now coming in, and it sounds like the Merc With a Mouth's MCU debut might just be the movie that gets the MCU back on track.

We know by now that these initial reactions do tend to be a bit hyperbolic, but there are actually a few posts that lean a little more negative than you might expect.

Have a read through for yourselves, and we'll continue to update as more come in.

#DeadpoolAndWolverine is the perfect love letter to the X-Men movies! Balls to the wall awesome with plenty of heart and humor that will leave you wanting more. Hugh Jackman & Ryan Reynolds are the perfect duo and inject a much-needed shot of coke-fueled adrenaline into the MCU! https://t.co/2WlJjdMXG9

LFG! Absolutely loved #DeadpoolAndWolverine - yes the cameos and surprises are epic, and the humor, action, blood-soaked fights and needle drops are tremendous, too… but it’s the respect and love for the characters that win you over.

This is the ultimate Deadpool movie. It is… pic.twitter.com/dhK1s6uh2O

Exhausting, pandering, and derivative. #DeadpoolAndWolverine suffers from thinking it’s more clever and funny than it actually is. The hyper-meta humor is overplayed and the gags are repetitive to the point of boredom. https://t.co/KFYV4wjQfs

#DeadpoolAndWolverine is the funniest MCU project ever & (of course) the goriest.

Ryan Reynolds and Hugh Jackman together as these icons is INCREDIBLE.

It’s not perfect, but it’s a thrilling theatrical experience & a step in the right direction for Marvel. pic.twitter.com/7jwAtRvev6

Is #DeadpoolAndWolverine a blast? Absolutely. Is it incredibly stupid? Also yes. Tons of laughter to be had with a bunch of really cool moments that had me smiling nonstop. Shoutout to #HughJackman for a fantastically vulgar and entertaining turn as Logan! pic.twitter.com/9giLDeuJyC

DEADPOOL AND WOLVERINE is so, so stupid but is fun and has a cute message.

I’m not sure it completely saves the MCU from the skid that they even acknowledge, but Hugh Jackman innocent. #DeadpoolAndWolverine pic.twitter.com/yQvk31F1iB

It goes without saying that #DeadpoolAndWolverine absolutely KILLS it!

Ryan and Hugh brought their all into it, the R-rated action is still as gory as ever, and the cameos, when present, felt like they mostly fit well enough the story.

Yep, BIGGER implications are coming! 👀 pic.twitter.com/uv1Wo4pyLb

Deadpool and Wolverine is a game changer for the MCU as it is the biggest, boldest, and most badass MCU film since Infinity War and Endgame. Ryan Reynolds and Hugh Jackman are the ultimate duo we've all been waiting for! #DeadpoolAndWolverine @MarvelStudios pic.twitter.com/p5wrNqD4rk

Liked, didn’t love #DeadpoolAndWolverine - felt like there’s like seven movies jammed into one, but I laughed out loud several times and the cameos are kind’ve insane. It’s literally a eulogy for 20th Century Fox. pic.twitter.com/T46yORwRB8

#DeadpoolAndWolverine is as exciting as you’re expecting it to be. It manages to have the same tone as the previous films with super funny jokes and a story that will have you laughing and crying.

Hugh Jackman delivers one of his best performances as Wolverine and the film is… pic.twitter.com/X6VpgPntdy

Deadpool & Wolverine is a bloody fun car trip and an emotional roller coaster! Hugh & Ryan deliver exceptional performances, blending nostalgia, humor, and heart. It dives into themes of revenge, loss, moral ambiguity, and family, all while being packed with delightful cameos.🙂 pic.twitter.com/NOZjaUqQO3

#DeadpoolAndWolverine is one amazing F-Bomb, Slice and Dice, good nasty Multiverse Madness. Pushing Disney's limits (could go further imo) while being Sassy, poking fun and owning a good story and flow overall. The Duo shined the most (of course) but Every-single(s)-other-person… pic.twitter.com/7JBJ1BNhmL

The MPAA recently gave the movie an official R-rating for: "Strong bloody violence and language throughout, gore, and sexual references."

“Marvel Studios presents their most significant mistake to date - Deadpool & Wolverine," reads the new synopsis. "A listless Wade Wilson toils away in civilian life. His days as the morally flexible mercenary, Deadpool, behind him. When his homeworld faces an existential threat, Wade must reluctantly suit-up again with an even more reluctantlier... reluctanter? Reluctantest? He must convince a reluctant Wolverine to - F*ck. Synopses are so f*cking stupid.”

In addition to Ryan Reynolds and Hugh Jackman in the title roles, Deadpool and Wolverine will see Morena Baccarin (Vanessa), Leslie Uggams (Blind Al), Rob Delaney (Peter), Brianna Hildebrand (Negasonic Teenage Warhead) And Shioli Kutsuna (Yukio) return as their respective characters, and they'll be joined by franchise newcomers Emma Corrin (The Crown) and Matthew Macfadyen (Succession), who will play a TV agent and Charles Xavier's evil counterpart, Cassandra Nova.

Shawn Levy directs Deadpool and Wolverine from a script by Ryan Reynolds, Rhett Reese, Paul Wernick, and Zeb Wells.

The movie is set to open in U.S. & Canadian theaters on July 26, and will be available in IMAX, RealD 3D, Dolby Cinema, 4DX, Cinemark XD and premium screens everywhere. Will you be checking out Deadpool and Wolverine opening weekend? Let us know in the comments section.

So you mean one film ISN’T going to “save” the MCU? Who could’ve guessed that

dragon316 - 7/22/2024, 11:02 PM

@MikeyL - don’t think marvel did maybe fans on twitter and YouTube mostly

MikeyL - 7/22/2024, 11:07 PM

@dragon316 - it’s almost like fans putting immense pressure on one film was completely unreasonable and not realistic. Huh. The more you know

vectorsigma - 7/23/2024, 12:12 AM

@MikeyL - it doeant save it and then we have cap 4 and thundebolts next year. Bleak i say

ObserverIO - 7/23/2024, 12:13 AM

@MikeyL - One film can put it back on the right path, but the following films have to make sure to keep it on that path.

McMurdo - 7/23/2024, 12:28 AM

@MikeyL - that's just indicative of how bad it's gotten.

vectorsigma - 7/23/2024, 12:35 AM

@ObserverIO - for me, it puts it right back on track if it has big implications in the mcu. The other 2 supposed stinkers next year can just have follow up post credits scenes and im all good. We will see.

vectorsigma - 7/23/2024, 12:38 AM

@McMurdo - these narratives are a product of people being too dependent on youtubers and influencers imo.

This is the same thing with Acolyte with the "ep x will break star wars forever" narrative.

ShellHead - 7/22/2024, 10:59 PM

So far the consensus is breaking very positive. Turning off that hashtag now before some [frick]er ruins it

WhatIfRickJames - 7/22/2024, 10:59 PM

It sounds like a great time at the movies. Looking forward to it

McMurdo - 7/23/2024, 12:30 AM

@WhatIfRickJames - can't wait

Feralwookiee - 7/22/2024, 11:00 PM

I've never been a Deadpool fan, because the schtick gets old real quick imo and I have no love for the Fox-Men. I just want a totally rebooted and recasted MCU X-Men movie.

That said, I see this film doing well, but not gangbusters. I think it'll finish with around $800 million worldwide. It is not going to "save" the MCU.

vectorsigma - 7/23/2024, 12:29 AM

@Feralwookiee - also guessing 800+M

Not a definition of success for Marvel given the huge budget and marketing.

DaHULK2000 - 7/22/2024, 11:00 PM

You guys are pretty gay for liking this, especially you "Marky the mark".

McMurdo - 7/23/2024, 12:30 AM

@DaHULK2000 - ???

dragon316 - 7/22/2024, 11:04 PM

As long Taylor swift is not in it im for it have high expectations she will not be in it

AllsGood - 7/22/2024, 11:07 PM

Marvel Studios Mega Hit Deadpool and Wolverine is back Bigger and Stronger.

vectorsigma - 7/23/2024, 12:06 AM

@AllsGood - lol man with that gif 🤣

MyCoolYoung - 7/22/2024, 11:09 PM

I didn’t even read through the reactions but glad we’re finally in the endgame. Hopefully I see no spoilers from now until Thursday

ReverseFlasher - 7/22/2024, 11:10 PM

“Kind’ve”?

… Idk who tf Nate Adams is, but is too late to abort this moron? Why would anyone want the opinion of this absolute idiot.

ObserverIO - 7/23/2024, 12:18 AM

@ReverseFlasher - as bad as "Could of".

HistoryofMatt - 7/22/2024, 11:12 PM

Much like with No Way Home and Guardians 3, Kevin Feige and Disney should get little credit for the success of Deadpool & Wolverine.

It's true, and I'm not sorry for saying it. How Deadpool & Wolverine does will have little to no effect on the MCU "being back" because like Guardians 3 was a James Gunn passion project in which Feige has limited input, this is a Ryan Reynolds passion project in which Feige had limited input.

Anyone using this movie as proof the MCU has changed for the better will likely be disappointed with the next Didn't Earn It movie or TV show release... which... I think is DEI Captain Falcon 4, right?

twistedcastles - 7/22/2024, 11:47 PM

@HistoryofMatt - they suould get credit for making it happen

Feige worked on the original xmen trilogy from fox so he definetely should get even more credit

Malatrova15 - 7/22/2024, 11:53 PM

@HistoryofMatt - the DEI is amazing so yes you stand corrected

OmegaDaGr0dd - 7/22/2024, 11:54 PM

@twistedcastles - people are always weirdly insecure about Marvel getting credit for producing, financing, resourcing and giving creative input on the movies that they produce, finance, resource and give creative input on

Fox had Wolverine and Deadpool for almost 20 years and never put them in a movie together, but Marvel shouldn't get credit for doing it because Kevin Feige didn't write the script himself and act as a part time director of photography on set. It's a hilarious admission that a lot if these guys either have no idea how many people are involved in making a successful movie, or they're sole mission is to wake up every day saying "Marvel bad" and their brains have to distort reality to ensure anything Marvel does objectively isn't really "Marvel" doing it well, just coincidentally everybody Marvel employed and collaborated with

smgmayhem - 7/22/2024, 11:54 PM

@HistoryofMatt - It's going to be hilarious when you slowly find out how wrong you are 😂

vectorsigma - 7/23/2024, 12:09 AM

@HistoryofMatt - i agree.

This will be successful but not to the definition of that word from Marvel/Dosney. 800+M im guessing.

And they sure need a win on this one, they showed a lot of desperation in the production and marketing. Because it sure is bleak next year with cap 4 and thunderbolts

AlexGSpeaks - 7/23/2024, 12:46 AM

@HistoryofMatt - why would Feige get little credit for No Way Home when it was a Marvel movie? All Sony does with the Tom Holland films is distribute them. Marvel does everything else. That's the agreement. Marvel essentially does all the work just so they can add Spidey to other MCU projects. In return, Sony handles distribution and gets pretty much the entire box office.

HistoryofMatt - 7/23/2024, 1:10 AM

@Malatrova15 - DEI fraks-up everything and anything where it is enabled. DEI hires in every walk of life, from corporate America, to academia, to politics, and pop culture have a .000 batting average.

But keep lying to yourself if that makes you feel better.

HistoryofMatt - 7/23/2024, 1:11 AM

@smgmayhem - I know Captain DEI Falcon is going to be a gigantic bomb and lose a ton of money.

Come find me when it does so you can apologize.

Order66 - 7/22/2024, 11:13 PM

I can’t [frick]ing wait for this movie! Born in 87 so I grew up in the 90s so naturally Deadpool is my favorite Marvel character.

DocSpock - 7/22/2024, 11:15 PM

@DaHULK2000 - "You guys are pretty gay for liking this"

What a moronic retarded response.

StSteven - 7/22/2024, 11:35 PM

@DocSpock - Well shit, man. Cause I (a) like DP and (b) like Wolverine and/or a movie with both of them in it. Damn. Didn’t realize that that made me gay. Shit, looks like I’m going to have to go have a talk with my wife and kids. You wanna slide me that bottle of tequila Doc? 😉

DaHULK2000 - 7/22/2024, 11:41 PM

@DocSpock - no wit at all..

A "bundel of twigs" like you isn't even worth a proper retort.

Malatrova15 - 7/22/2024, 11:54 PM

@DocSpock - but gay is cool

DaHULK2000 - 7/22/2024, 11:59 PM

Nothing cool about A.I.D.S. sweetheart..

DocSpock - 7/23/2024, 12:24 AM

@StSteven -

me too. Holy sh!t! Who knew? Do I have to start wearing belly shirts?

DocSpock - 7/23/2024, 12:25 AM

@DaHULK2000 -

Graceless loser.

Spidey91 - 7/22/2024, 11:17 PM

man, that Ryan Terry guy must be fun at parties.

Shivermetimbers - 7/22/2024, 11:22 PM

Sounds like a stupid but entertaining movie. Good, not great. That’s a good was to temper my expectations. Based on the reactions it sounds like something I’d enjoy
