It is obvious that 2018 is going to be a brilliant year for the Marvel group, who has release 3 block buster’s movies back to back in just four months. They started with Black Panther, the Avengers: Infinity war and now “Deadpool”. The new movie is a sequel to the 1st episode and it reveals how he searches for new super power partners to join forces with him to destroy the evil guy “Cable”, who was meant on destroying the little boy with the evil power called “Firefist”. It is said that so far the Marvel group have raked in about $1.5b in just this year alone, making them one of the top movie producers for 2018 already. For the usual comic Marvel lovers, they sure will enjoy the humor and drama that was intertwined this action packed movie.
This year sure did start on a very good note with very exciting movies hitting the cinema back to back since February, starting with Black Panther, that has already made about 1.3b dollars till date, winning the highest gross MCU movie to hit the cinema domestically, and the 3rd highest worldwide movie just after the only first 2 Avengers movie. Then we had other blockbuster movies like Avengers: Infinity War, Solo, Jurassic World, this year has witnessed a lot of sizzling competition already.
“Deadpool” has made a whopping $598m so far and $300m in the opening weekend, although these figures were good, they didn’t beat the already set goals of 2016 set by the successful debut of the original episode. They didn’t beat the highest rated domestic opening weekend, but surpassed the target in revenue for the world wide earning. They are sure to cash out this year again. The movie was directed by David Leitch and they sure did have a very good storyline to keep all fully entertained.
After recovering from a terrible bovine attack, a mutilated cafeteria chef (Wade Wilson) fought to bring his dreams to reality of becoming Miami’s hottest bartender, as well as learning to manage with his displaced sense of taste. He decided to start again by searching to gain his purpose in life again as death wouldn’t take him away from this world. Wade must combat with Ninjas, the Yakuza, and a whole lot of sexually antagonistic canines, as he moves around the world to unveil the importance of flavor, friendship and family. Wade had to discover a new taste of adventure as he worked towards achieving the coveted coffee mug title of World’s Best Lover. The movie started on a high note with action from start to finish and funny jokes in between that people could relate to. Each time wade was destroyed he had to lay low and recuperate. He met a young boy who he had to protect from Cable, who was bent on destroying the boy as he had seen the future, that the young boy will grow up not being able to manage his powers and destroy his beloved family. It was a nice story as Deadpool fans were all pleased at the end of the movie. Off course there is no doubt that we should be expecting another one soon, with another flavor and twist to the Deadpool story.
