Ryan Reynolds On Stunning DEADPOOL & WOLVERINE BO: "Disney Probably Doesn’t Want Me To Frame It This Way..."

As Deadpool and Wolverine slashes several box office records, star Ryan Reynolds has commented on the movie's incredibly impressive opening weekend...

As many predicted, Deadpool and Wolverine has proven to be the box office jolt Marvel Studios desperately needed after a series of underperformances.

The movie has already smashed several records, climbing as high as $438.3 million worldwide for the best R-rated box office debut of all time. Domestically, the superhero team-up took in $205 million, becoming only the ninth film in Hollywood history to have crossed the $200 million milestone in its opening weekend.

Star Ryan Reynolds shared his response to the threequel's incredible box office debut with THR.

“Disney probably doesn’t want me to frame it this way, but I’ve always thought of Deadpool & Wolverine as the first four-quadrant, R-rated film. Yes, it’s rated R, but we set out to make a movie with enough laughs, action and heart to appeal to everyone, whether you’re a comic book movie fan or not.”

The reason Disney execs may take issue with Deadpool and Wolverine being referred to as a "four-quadrant," is that this term is typically reserved for movies that work equally for males and females over and under 25 - and this is by far the bloodiest, raunchiest and most profanity-laden Deadpool film yet.

Even so, there's nothing overly mean-spirited or shocking enough to give parents too much cause for concern.

“I’m not saying that other people should do this, but my 9-year-old watched the movie with me and my mom, who’s in her late 70s, and it was just one of the best moments of this whole experience for me,” Reynolds said in a recent NYT piece. “Both of them were laughing their guts out, were feeling the emotion where I most desperately hoped people would be.”

Have you been to see Deadpool and Wolverine yet? If so, what did you think? Check out our review here, and drop us a comment down below.

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.

@vectorsigma -

THEKENDOMAN - 7/29/2024, 10:46 AM

@dragon316 - Man, the Kang story just looked too good. How they [frick]ed that up is beyond me

BeyondtheFuture - 7/29/2024, 8:44 AM

He also said he’d never show his kids deadpool 1 and 2. It’s r-rated but toned down quite a bit from 1 and 2.

clintthahamster - 7/29/2024, 8:44 AM

I have seen it, and I did like it. I was there with my 18 year old nephew, but there was a family that came in with kids who couldn't have been older than 9 or 10, and man . . . I was admittedly pretty sheltered as a kid, but I don't think it is REMOTELY acceptable for anyone under, say, 13?

UniqNo - 7/29/2024, 8:49 AM

@clintthahamster - agreed, i'm sure i saw a few kids who were definitly under 15 (age rating in the UK) at my screening.

I don't think they're policing it correctly! we'll see how [frick]ed the new generation is in a few more years then we can blame it on Disney officially! haha

It's the biggest R rated movie sure, but i also bet it's the biggest R rated movie that those under 18 and 15 have seen in cinemas.

TheVisionary25 - 7/29/2024, 8:55 AM

@clintthahamster - I didn’t see any kids at my screening until the end , must have been maybe 10 if not a bit younger?.

Ultimately I think the parents should be aware of the rating & content and if they think it’s acceptable then so be it.

lazlodaytona - 7/29/2024, 10:24 AM

@clintthahamster - I thought it was hilarious when DP1 came out and parents took their young kids to what they thought was just another superhero movie. All the complaints and shock and I'm like, "Don't you do your research? Didn't you see the big R rating on the poster?! That's on you."

Apophis71 - 7/29/2024, 10:56 AM

@UniqNo - The kids whose parents think their kids are able to handle a film like this won't be the problem as we all likely watched worse under 15 back in the day...

...heck Blade Trinity was a 15 over here as was Robocop 3 and myself and all my friends watched the first Robocop film when we were only 15 or 16 and knew of many younger than us that watched it too and we even studied Nightmare on Elm street at High School in the film club at 15 (having first watched it at 13)...

...it is the parents who don't police internet use at all or enforce any boundaries allowing their kids to do what the frack they want that will cause issues cos there is WAY, WAY, WAY worse stuff online that is easy to access for free on the interwebs without even needing to go on the dark net (which kids have the tech skills to access fairly easy if so inclined and no parental oversight).

Wrapping kids up in cotton wool rarely works, they will get to see and hear about stuff anyway, what is important is being able to discuss stuff with your kids such that they learn what if right or wrong and well equipped to handle the fracked up stuff they face in life. Kids are more likely to listen to parental advice if there is a reasonable give and take with what they have access to with media. Total hardline bans tend to result in rebellion more in kids more likely to go off the rails, less communication and honesty between parent and child, or conversely excessively dependant kids who are oft then easier for the worst in society to groom and manipulate.

That isn't to say I WOULD let any kid of mine under 15yrs old watch any R rated films, but I would watch it first if they were keen on doing so and make a judgement call if they were mature enough to watch on a case by case basis and if I DID think they WERE mature enough to watch use it to open up dialogue on issues (such as bad language, violance and the like). I knew (as was proven when mine finaly admitted they did) that when I put my foot down and said no they could not play an 18 rated video game when 14 say then was almost a given they would go to a friends and play it there behind my back (did the same when I was a teen).

Nomis929 - 7/29/2024, 8:45 AM

Not sure I'd let a 9 year old watch this movie.

But he can raise his kids the way he see fit.

TheIronDuck - 7/29/2024, 10:45 AM

@Nomis929 - his 9 year old was literally Kidpool in the movie.

Spawnnn - 7/29/2024, 8:47 AM

I watched this movie with my embryo, and it liked it a lot.

Doomsday8888 - 7/29/2024, 8:53 AM

Ehhh i dunno, what's the biggest no-no scene for a kid here?
What Nova does to a certain character?

ObserverIO - 7/29/2024, 8:57 AM

@Doomsday8888 - def

Doomsday8888 - 7/29/2024, 9:11 AM

@ObserverIO
Then... *shrugs* you see this type of gags in cartoons as well, i'm not even kiddin.

ObserverIO - 7/29/2024, 9:17 AM

@Doomsday8888 - I guess so, yeah. This is cartoon slapstick really.

HammerLegFoot - 7/29/2024, 8:54 AM

Man some of you guys are soft. When I was 9-12 I was watching Faces of Death and Rotten.com and a bunch of other [frick]ed up shit. This was just CINEMA

Fogs - 7/29/2024, 8:57 AM

@HammerLegFoot - I always remember watching Robocop when ai was little. That movie is awesome but so messed up, hahaha

HammerLegFoot - 7/29/2024, 9:21 AM

@Fogs - Lmao EXACTLY!!

Sabre81 - 7/29/2024, 10:14 AM

@HammerLegFoot - Thank you!! I watched Predator, Aliens and Highlander before I was 12!lol Even say on this site, my first real CBM was Batman (1989) but had to wait until my parents got it for me in 1991 on VHS. They were happy to!

Parents are soft these days. Kids are playing GTAV for a decade FFS and they try to be protective because [frick]ing Facebook, The View and moms.net tell them it's wrong?!? Have some justice of your own and not social media :-)

P.S.

I saw Faces of Death at 14 years old. My brother's friend brought it round. It was glorious!

lazlodaytona - 7/29/2024, 10:26 AM

@Fogs - dude getting his hand shot off....yuck. That scared me as a kid. That and temple of doom when the dude pulled some guy's heart out with his bare hand. Never watched another Indiana Jones movie since and that was 38 years ago.

FireandBlood - 7/29/2024, 8:55 AM

C’mon, guys. We watched way worse as a 9 year old.

Fogs - 7/29/2024, 8:58 AM

@FireandBlood - Exactly! Commando, Robocop, Total Recall, Predator, etc

FireandBlood - 7/29/2024, 9:03 AM

@Fogs - And don’t forget

UniqNo - 7/29/2024, 9:08 AM

@FireandBlood - As a kid that shit was cool, as a grown up now, we can (should) see it was part of the problem. Protect your kids!

Fogs - 7/29/2024, 9:09 AM

@UniqNo - wait, what? I watched all of them and am allright, never did anything wrong. And ai bet 99% of the kids didn't either. You sound like those boomers blaming videogames for the school shootings.

Fogs - 7/29/2024, 9:09 AM

*I bet

FireandBlood - 7/29/2024, 9:13 AM

@UniqNo - I’m not here for wrapping my kids up in cotton wool. That’s why these later generations are so soft. They’re movies. If a kid at 9 doesn’t know the difference already, there’s bigger issues going on.

UniqNo - 7/29/2024, 9:15 AM

@Fogs - It's all part of the problem. I never did anything wrong either, but there's no way you can say media sex and violence doesn't impact the youth. (even if it's a small percentage).

The generation now is even more [frick]ed due to the ease of internet and social media. I get wanting to share in stuff with your kids, and Disney definitley made this look like a movie that everyone should want to watch, but it doesn't make it right.

That's just my opinion though.

FireandBlood - 7/29/2024, 9:19 AM

@Fogs - Those little psycho kids are always the sheltered ones. Every time one of these parents moddie coddle their yutes, they develop mass porn addictions and start shooting up schools. The rest of us that was exposed to the ugliness of the world got along just fine, because we knew better.

UniqNo - 7/29/2024, 9:20 AM

@FireandBlood - As above. Na, i'm all for keeping it real with them and giving them realistic expectations in life, hell, watching something similar like that at home i get because you can actually talk to them about it etc, but taking them out to see it is not going to influence them in the right way, as they're thinking and growing thinking it's the social norm. "daddy what's pegging"? lol

just my opinion. Parent your kids how you want.

Izaizaiza - 7/29/2024, 9:28 AM

@FireandBlood - Yeah, man. My dad took me to Jaws when I was 6

FireandBlood - 7/29/2024, 9:36 AM

@UniqNo - But you can’t hide that language from kids. If they don’t hear it one way, they’ll hear it another. You’re better off educating them on the inappropriateness of that type of language so they know when or not to use it, instead of trying to shield them from something you can’t actually shield them from. You might look like a hypocrite, but that is part of protecting and parenting your kids. The more you tell them no, they more they’ll seek other ways to do it. At least this way, you’re monitoring what they’re doing and watching.

But everyone has their own method to the madness that is being a parent. That’s just me.

UniqNo - 7/29/2024, 9:52 AM

@FireandBlood - Haha, you're right on the hypocrisy, that's probably about 50% of it, especially when my kid see's me on my phone watch some thot shaking her ass on intsa.

But yeah being in an environment like my home i can control that teaching them about the inappropriteness but certainly not by treating them to a movie they should be twice as old to see.

But no way am i ready to have that conversation around pegging, sexual inuendos etc...drug use maybe but certainly not about about the extra bone you get when watching gossip girl.

As you said though, to each their own.

Sabre81 - 7/29/2024, 10:15 AM

@FireandBlood - Yes!!! Was just saying to @HammerLegFoot above. People are soft as a runny curry shit these days.
