With time, more and more studies are trying to engage themselves in building certain cinematic universes. On paper, this might be a great step forward, building hype and creating a flawless system to produce movies.
But there is always a major problem with this. Every film and series is connected to each other, and to watch each new content, you need to do some homework, some recapitulation.
However, Deadpool and Wolverine will break this formula, or at least that’s what the makers are saying.
The sheer size of the MCU is mammoth-like, and if it were to be connected with other films or series, it would be a hard task for the fans. Besides, the majority of Deadpool and Wolverine content is outside the traditional MCU, so the fans had to revise more material.
Shawn Levy stated that he is planning to give no homework for the summer release.
“I was a good student in school. I’ll do my homework as an adult. But I am definitely not looking to do homework when I go to the movies.”
Later, he added, “I very much made this film with a healthy respect and gratitude towards the rabid fan base that has peak fluency in the mythology and lore of these characters and this world. But I didn’t want to presume that. This movie is built for entertainment, with no obligation to come prepared with prior research.”
This will definitely be a good step forward, as the ‘homework’ policy is becoming an irony. Especially since Deadpool will have a plethora of cameos, probably one of the most cameo and Easter egg-stacked MCU ventures; too much intensive research takes out all the fun. If the makers are making an attempt to make it viewer-friendly, this film will definitely win hearts.
Deadpool and Wolverine will surely challenge the record set by Joker, being the highest-grossing R-rated film. To experience the extravaganza, Deadpool and Wolverine will come to your nearest theaters on 26th July this summer.
