Deadpool & Wolverine – 7 movies you need to watch before the release of Ryan Reynolds and Hugh Jackman starrer
The first look teaser of Deadpool & Wolverine has hinted at whole lot and that makes our prep lengthier.
Films To Watch Before Deadpool & Wolverine
X-Men (2000)
Cast: Patrick Stewart, Hugh Jackman, Ian McKellen, Halle Berry, James Marsden, and ensemble.Director: Bryan Singer.Streaming On: Disney+ Hotstar.This is where it all technically began. The X-Men came into the live-action world with this movie, which introduced the world to the X-Men. It is also where we first met Hugh Jackman as Wolverine, and the world has not been the same around him ever since. This is also where we met our favorite characters for the first time and got to know them well.X-Men Origins: Wolverine (2009)
Cast: Hugh Jackman, Ryan Reynolds, Liev Schreiber, Danny Huston, and ensemble.Director: Gavin Hood.Streaming On: Disney+ Hotstar.Hugh Jackman and Wolverine are a massive part of Deadpool & Wolverine. This means everything that has Hugh playing the part in it is very important. X-Men Origins: Wolverine is actually where we met our Logan in a detailed way for the first time. We understood what the character is, what makes him, and why he is what he is. The movie, in a way, can help you understand the motive of this character well, and the anger that he walks around with. Bonus, it was the first time that we met Ryan Reynolds as Deadpool, and that can help.X-Men: Days of Future Past (2014)
Cast: Patrick Stewart, Hugh Jackman, Ian McKellen, Halle Berry, Jennifer Lawrence, and ensemble.Director: Bryan Singer.Streaming On: Disney+ Hotstar.Days Of The Future Past did more good to Wolverine than his origin movie. The Bryan Singer directorial saw the character beyond the angry brute and had many things to offer, making him a very multi-dimensional superhero. Here he was a leader who could be much more balanced and can give an entire team a direction to a winning day.Deadpool (2016)
Cast: Ryan Reynolds, Morena Baccarin, T.J Miller, Karan Soni, and ensemble.Director: Tim Miller.Streaming On: Disney+ Hotstar.This was the first time a studio was daring to have Deadpool in a live-action movie where he could star in an R-rated movie. Ryan Reynolds had his own standalone niche in the world, and the movie did wonders. There is no way you can go into Deadpool & Wolverine and not watch Deadpool first. This was the movie where we met the character in a much bigger way.Watch Tejas, Expendables 4, Australian Open, Cubicles 3, and more on OTTplay, by subscribing to the Jhakaas monthly pack, which provides access to 22 OTTs at just ₹249 for the first month.Logan (2017)
Cast: Hugh Jackman, Patrick Stewart, Dafne Keen, and ensemble.Director: James Mangold.Streaming On: Disney+ Hotstar.The most emotional of them all. Back in 2017, we weren’t aware that Fox might get acquired by Disney, and we were all crying and in trauma over Wolverine’s death in 2017’s Logan. The movie left us all broken because we were not ready to bid goodbye to one of the most developed characters who has seen an entire journey through the films that came before it. While Logan is in a different timeline than Deadpool & Wolverine, there is still so much one needs to grasp from this one to know Wolverine well.Deadpool 2 (2018)
Cast: Ryan Reynolds, Josh Brolin, Morena Baccarin, Zazie Beetz, T.J Miller, and ensemble.Director: David Leitch.Streaming On: Disney+ Hotstar.The mess we are about to see in Deadpool & Wolverine was actually triggered in Deadpool 2 where we saw Wade Wilson time travel, and we even saw Yukio and Negasonic Teenage Warhead fix Cable’s time-traveling device. So when the threequel is about to show us Merc With The Mouth travel through the multiverse, the sequel will have a lot to contribute to it.The Marvels
Cast: Brie Larson, Iman Vellani, Teyonah Parris, and ensemble.Director: Nia DaCosta.Streaming On: Disney+ Hotstar. The last Marvel Cinematic Universe release has nothing to do with Deadpool & Wolverine directly, but one has to be reminded of the post-credit scene that gave us the first look at X-Men in the MCU. We met Beast and Binary in the post-credits, and Monica Rambeau was unconscious in a hospital in a time and space we are unaware of.These films are compiled in reference to the teaser. Rumours also have that the movie has a reference to Fantastic Four too because Fantasticar was spotted on the sets. Once that bit it confirmed, even the Fantastic Four movies from the Fox timeline will be added to this list.Also Read: Deadpool 3 beats The Batman part II to become the most awaited Hollywood film.Share
