Deadpool & Wolverine are coming to Disney+, and yes, they brought all the chaos with them
If you thought the multiverse was chaotic, brace yourself—Deadpool & Wolverine, 2024’s second-highest-grossing movie and the reigning R-rated box office champ, hits Disney+ on November 12. Yes, Ryan Reynolds’ Deadpool is back, now joined by Hugh Jackman’s Wolverine in a meta-humor masterpiece that, somehow, manages to make even Deadpool 2 look tame. With over $1.3 billion at the global box office, the film leaves no fourth wall unbroken, pulling out all the stops—and a few surprising cameos—to deliver one of Marvel’s most absurd (and highly entertaining) hits to date.
So, who’s crashing this chaotic party? Let’s start with some nostalgia, as Chris Evans makes a hot comeback as Johnny Storm, bringing his Fantastic Four Human Torch out of retirement. Evans joins a star-studded roll call that includes Jennifer Garner’s Elektra, Wesley Snipes’ Blade, Dafne Keen’s X-23, and—finally!—Channing Tatum as Gambit. Then there’s Jon Favreau’s Happy Hogan, a green cameo from the Hulk, and a nod to the Loki series with Wunmi Mosaku’s Hunter B-15 popping in, because why not?
But, as always, Deadpool doesn’t just stop at simple cameos. Reynolds throws in multiverse mischief with a handful of “Deadpool Variants” that’ll make you question everything: there’s “Cavillrine” (yup, that’s Henry Cavill as Wolverine), Ladypool (voiced by Reynolds’ real-life wife Blake Lively), Cowboy Deadpool (Matthew McConaughey—alright, alright, alright!), and even Nathan Fillion as the wonderfully absurd Headpool, floating around as the literal head of the operation. It’s like Marvel Mad Libs but with extra meta flavor.
And now for the real plot twist: Deadpool & Wolverine features Stray Kids in its soundtrack, marking the first time a K-pop group has collaborated with the Deadpool franchise. Their track "Slash" was created by Stray Kids’ 3Racha (Bang Chan, Changbin, and Han) in partnership with K-pop producer Versachoi, and has the edge and punch that Deadpool demands. Naturally, Bang Chan and Felix stole a moment to brainstorm, meet, and throw down on set for their Chk Chk Boom MV. With their high-energy beats, the Stray Kids bring a whole new vibe to Deadpool’s world of beautifully twisted chaos.
In Megaverse, launched on November 10, 2023, Stray Kids dives into a dimension-bending anthem that could have foreshadowed their collaboration with Marvel’s Deadpool & Wolverine. The song pulses with lyrics about “breaking all the walls” and commanding the multiverse, themes playfully aligned with Deadpool’s iconic fourth-wall antics and multiverse chaos. With an energy that mirrors Deadpool's brand of unpredictable mayhem, Stray Kids seem to claim their place as cosmic rule-benders, blending K-pop and comic book energy in a track that sets the universe—and megaverse—vibrating at their frequency. It’s no wonder Marvel took notice!
So, ready to hit play on a film that redefines “extra”? Mark your calendar for November 12—because Deadpool & Wolverine is Marvel’s love letter to fans who thrive on pure, unfiltered pandemonium.
