Deadpool gets first ever R-rated character experience at Disneyland 

Disneyland is set to debut Ryan Reynolds' Deadpool character in-person at the park for the first time in its 69-year history, based on an R-rated movie. Disney has announced that Marvel's Deadpool & Wolverine will be featured at two of its global parks, Disney California Adventure in Anaheim, California, and Disneyland Paris in Paris, three days before the movie's release.

According to Entertainment Weekly, Disney Park Paris will host the first live appearance from an R-rated film, Deadpool, with guests able to meet the character at the Disneyland Resort. The event will not feature a traditional meet-and-greet element but will be an entertainment appearance.

"Even Deadpool can’t resist a Disney day!" read the announcement on the Disney Parks Instagram page. "Catch him for a limited time at Avengers Campus." In a follow-up comment, the account urged audiences, "Don’t miss #DeadpoolAndWolverine" in theaters later this week, and emphasized in a parenthetical addition that the film is "rated R."

Disney California Adventure also features the Avengers Campus, featuring attractions from Guardians of the Galaxy, Tom Holland's Spider-Man movies, and live entertainment featuring Black Panther, Black Widow, and Doctor Strange.


Deadpool & Wolverine is Marvel’s biggest triumph

Deadpool & Wolverine is set to hit theaters as Marvel seeks a course correction after oversaturating its slate with less-desirable projects since Avengers: Endgame. The film aims to deliver star power, flagship heroes, warm-hug nostalgia, and an epic storyline, which Reynolds, Jackman, and co. have delivered.

Hugh Jackman, known for his portrayal of Wolverine 25 years ago, has been eagerly awaited by fans for his return to the role. Fans of both Wolverine and Deadpool have also waited for their team-up onscreen, adding to the anticipation. The close friendship between Reynolds and Jackman since their original film adds to the anticipation for Deadpool & Wolverine.

The Deadpool & Wolverine writing team, consisting of Rhett Reese, Paul Wernick, Zeb Wells, Reynolds, and Levy, and presumably some Reynolds ad-libs, surpassed the humor in the previous Deadpool films and every MCU movie with innumerable laugh-out-loud lines and moments. Whether it was Disney and Fox’s business dealings or the actors in the films’ personal lives, nothing was off limits.

The movie, beautifully shot by Shawn Levy, features a mix of humor and gore in an MCU project. The first 35 minutes are action-packed, but the introduction of Cassandra Nova, Professor X's twin sister, slows things down. Nova gains popularity as a worthy villain as the movie progresses.

Jackman, the only Wolverine we've wanted to see for 25 years, looks in peak form with his patented Logan level fitness. Reynolds expressed how much Hugh intimidated him during fight scenes in a People interview.

Jackman's dedication to Logan in this project showcased his character's heartbreak and savage nature. The Fox Marvel Cinematic Universe is also given the recognition it deserves, with well-deserved jokes and touching tributes for the studio projects that paved the way. The film's visceral heartbreak and savage nature were palpable throughout.
