Deadpool & Wolverine have led a strong opening weekend at the box office. Hugh Jackman, Ryan Reynolds, and director Shawn Levy were among the actors who recently spoke with GetFandom at San Diego Comic-Con 2024. They all expressed surprise at how many jokes were approved by Marvel in the first place. If you haven’t seen the movie yet, beware of spoilers.

When Marvel said yes to the jokes

Ryan joked that Marvel said “ok” to any jokes. Feige stated, “There are so many jokes that I still can’t believe Marvel let us do. When Deadpool says to Wolverine, ‘Welcome to the MCU. You are joining in a bit of a low point. That’s up there. When Deadpool is like, ‘Can we just be done with the whole Multiverse? It is just miss after miss after miss!’ I remember when Ryan and I showed the scene to Kevin Feige we were kind of like cringing at what his reaction would be. But he laughed his a** off. That’s when we realized that if its funny its all good.”

Hugh added, “They were really pretty amazing. There were some times on set where I was like, ‘Oh that’s definitely not going to make it in the cut!’ Oh no! It is in the movie!”
