Hot off the Press: Deadpool & Wolverine Break Records at the Super Bowl
Listen up, folks! The Deadpool and Wolverine movie trailer smashed records in just 24 hours, becoming the most viewed promotional content ever from Disney. And guess what, it's all thanks to a cheeky line about pegging and the legendary return of Hugh Jackman's Wolverine.
In a sweet symphony of chaos, star Ryan Reynolds and Marvel Studios' YouTube channel, along with other platforms like Instagram, made sure every screen was graced by the Deadpool and Wolverine spectacle. By the end of the day, it had collected an astounding 365 million views, a number that's even more impressive when you consider 123 million people tuned in for the Super Bowl this past weekend. A source close to io9 confirmed the figure is a global one, stretching across Disney and third-party platforms hosting the trailer, as well as the live ratings for Super Bowl LVIII provided by CBS.
It's a stellar achievement, though let's not forget the Super Bowl ratings like everyone who watched wasşo entranced by Ryan Reynold's questionable toupee. The trailer's success has undoubtedly sparked eagerness for Deadpool and Wolverine, especially with reactions and countless breakdowns popping up everywhere, even speculating on further tie-ins with the Fox universe of X-men, thanks to the Beast and Binary meeting Monica Rambeau revealed in The Marvels post-credits scene.
With the Multiverse in a tailspin from Loki's grasp and Deadpool being pursued by a reformed TVA, expect the hype to grow further. The press tour is unofficially heating up already, with Reynolds and Jackman reigniting their playful feud on Instagram. Jackman even shared an alternate title for the film, which will hit theaters on July 26, giving us all something to eagerly anticipate.
