Deadpool & Wolverine – Like a Prayer

Deadpool & Wolverine is a comic nerd's dream. It's a love letter to the superhero cinema that paved the path to this current generation, while also celebrating the iconic performances of Hugh Jackman as Wolverine. It's bloody, vulgar, and just a really f$%^ing great time. It also helps to reset the course for a fledgling MCU. Unlike many of the Phase 4/5 films and shows before it, you will leave Deadpool & Wolverine excited for the potential of the future. Will Jackman return for the next two Avengers movies? What the hell was that tease with Thor and Deadpool? Those answers will obviously come, but what made the MCU so brilliant throughout its decades+ reign as box office kings was its ability to hold the viewers interest. That stranglehold has more than just slackened in recent years. But, rest assured, Deadpool & Wolverine reaffirms that grasp with pair of Hulk hands. At $900 million and counting, it is a runaway success; and that success is well deserved. You'll laugh; you'll cry; you'll scream, "Holy shit!"; and you'll definitely have the time of your life (or at least summer) Now, sit back, peer into the clouded future of the MCU with a Stone Delicious Hazy IPA, and don't desecrate any graves!
