Deadpool & Wolverinewas, fair to say, a colossal success which is perhaps as we expected.
Yes, it was released during what was otherwise a rough patch for theMarvelCinematic Universe, but Ryan Reynolds knows what he’s doing when it comes to drumming up hype.

I wouldn’t put it past Levy, Reynolds, and Jackman given just how subtle thatLes Misnod is.
