What is Marvel’s Deadpool & Wolverine about?
“Six years after the events of Deadpool 2, Wade Wilson is retired as the mercenary Deadpool and lives a quiet life until the Time Variance Authority (TVA)—a bureaucratic organization that exists outside of time and space and monitors the timeline—pulls him into a new mission,” reads the official synopsis for the film. “With his home universe facing an existential threat, Wilson reluctantly joins an even more reluctant Wolverine on a mission that will change the history of the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU).”
Directed by Shawn Levy, Deadpool & Wolverine stars Reynolds, Jackman, Emma Corrin, Matthew Macfadyen, Morena Baccarin, Rob Delaney, Leslie Uggams, and more.
Deadpool & Wolverine is now playing in United States theaters.
