Deadpool & Wolverine Surpasses Iron Man 3

Tracking the milestones that Deadpool & Wolverine has crossed has become a favorite pastime for fans worldwide. The comic book movie frenzy is far from cooling down, even after achieving top feats within its genre. It has now gone beyond that, competing with other Marvel Cinematic Universe films. With over $600 million in domestic earnings and more than $1.2 billion globally, the Shawn Levy-directed film has now surpassed Iron Man 3 in box office rankings.

Set in the aftermath of The Avengers, Iron Man 3, starring Robert Downey Jr., Jon Favreau, Gwyneth Paltrow, and others, was released in 2013. Directed by Shane Black, it was the seventh film in the MCU and one of the highest-grossing films of that year. Iron Man 3 generated significant buzz and was the final film in RDJ's solo franchise, grossing $1.22 billion globally.
