Disney+ has just added one of the biggest movies of all time

The beloved 2024 film broke box office records.

The movie begins with Wade Wilson aka Deadpool (Ryan Reynolds) having retired from being a superhero after his application to be an Avenger was denied and after his girlfriend Vanessa (Morena Baccarin) broke up with him.

The merc with a mouth’s now quiet life is disrupted though when he is approached by the Time Variance Authority (TVA), an organisation dedicated to protecting the Multiverse (represented by Matthew Macfadyen).

He learns from the group that the death of Wolverine (Hugh Jackman) at the end of Logan was so seismic that it has made the universe in which Deadpool lives unsustainable and doomed for destruction.

While Macfadyen’s character Mr Paradox warns Deadpool that this is inevitable, the masked hero escapes the TVA and starts travelling to other universes looking for replacement Wolverines in a bid to fix matters.

Finding one that let down his universe, the pair reluctantly team up.

However, they soon find themselves trapped by the TVA in The Void, a hellish purgatory under the control of Alioth – a massive cloud-like creature that devours anything in its path – and Cassandra Nova (Emma Corrin) – a tyrannical extremely powerful mutant with a connection to Wolverine.

Thanks to the film's incredibly charismatic lead turns from Jackman and Reynolds, its script jam-packed full of meta and sweary zingers, its parade of gasp-inducing cameos (which you can read about here) and its fun action set-pieces, Deadpool & Wolverine added a much-needed dose of adrenaline to the Marvel Cinematic Universe.

Feeling like a real return to form for the franchise, JOE said in our review:

"While Deadpool & Wolverine is definitely more the Ryan Reynolds show, Hugh Jackman provides a nice counter to him – growling and slashing his way through the picture while occasionally adding a dash of pathos. One scene in particular where a furious Wolverine completely verbally dismantles Deadpool’s whole persona in a car reminds viewers why Jackman is so iconic in the role.

"It must be said though that the real reason for superhero lovers to check out the movie is the cameos sprinkled throughout, which are sure to rekindle many viewers’ passion for Marvel’s shared universe storytelling."

Audiences seemed to agree as Deadpool & Wolverine absolutely dominated the box office.

Grossing $1.34 billion worldwide, it has become the 20th-highest-grossing film of all time, the highest-grossing R-rated film of all time and the second-highest-grossing film of 2024.
