Even though Deadpool & Wolverine may not have turned out to be the game-changer many fans hoped for—essentially amplifying some of the existing issues within the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) instead of fixing them—it’s still been a major hit at the box office. As of now, the movie has raked in over $444 million, which is a huge success for Marvel Studios. This impressive number shows that their marketing campaign really paid off, getting audiences excited enough to turn out in droves. Despite its flaws, the film’s success indicates that Marvel Studios still knows how to capture the audience’s interest.

 

What year does ‘Deadpool and Wolverine’ take place in?

The excitement isn’t just about Deadpool & Wolverine though. Fans are already looking ahead to The Fantastic Four: First Steps, which promises to be quite different. This upcoming movie will be set in a retro-futuristic 1960s, giving it a unique and nostalgic feel. In contrast, Deadpool & Wolverine is set in 2024. The timeline can be a bit confusing due to the involvement of the Time Variance Authority and the Void, but for simplicity’s sake, it’s understood that the movie’s main events occur six years after a key scene in Avengers Tower, which takes place in 2018.

In terms of the MCU timeline, Deadpool & Wolverine fits into the story before several other major Marvel projects. This means it occurs prior to Secret Invasion, She-Hulk: Attorney at Law, Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania, and Thor: Love and Thunder. So while Deadpool & Wolverine might not have addressed or resolved ongoing issues within the MCU, it did lay some groundwork and potentially introduced new challenges that the Marvel universe will have to navigate.

Overall, even if Deadpool & Wolverine didn’t completely meet the high expectations or solve all of Marvel’s problems, it’s still a notable success. It’s currently in theaters, and while it might not have been the savior of the MCU that some hoped for, it certainly kept the Marvel engine running and set the stage for future developments. As fans eagerly anticipate The Fantastic Four: First Steps, the journey of Marvel’s cinematic universe continues to unfold, full of surprises and new directions.
