Marvel fans shocked: Deadpool & Wolverine reviews match The Flash

Jul 24, 2024 3:55 PM

Despite the high anticipation, early reviews for "Deadpool & Wolverine" suggest it may share the same fate as DC's "The Flash," which failed to impress critics and audiences alike. "Deadpool & Wolverine" currently holds a 55/100 on Metacritic, akin to "The Flash's" disappointing rating. On Rotten Tomatoes, it fares slightly better with an 81% fresh rating, although top critics bring it down to 64%. With the film's release imminent on July 26, Marvel fans will soon render their own verdict. Observers speculate whether this film is a prelude to reviving other major Marvel characters, such as Iron Man.

Is "Deadpool & Wolverine" as bad as DC's "The Flash"?

As per early reviews, "Deadpool & Wolverine" has received a mixed critical response similar to "The Flash," but fan reactions upon its release might differ.

"Deadpool & Wolverine" is part of the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU), featuring popular characters Deadpool and Wolverine. Directed by Shawn Levy, this film marks the first collaboration between the two characters since Disney's acquisition of 20th Century Fox. Hugh Jackman reprises his role as Wolverine alongside Ryan Reynolds' Deadpool, adding to the film's considerable fan interest.
