Deadpool & Wolverine (2024) is one of the most successful MCU movies ever. It comes in at seventh place behind 2019’s Avengers: Endgame (most successful), Avengers: Infinity War (2018), Spider-Man: No Way Home (2021), Avengers (2012), Avengers: Age of Ultron (2015), and Black Panther (2018), after grossing $1.34 billion worldwide.For many, though, Deadpool & Wolverine isn’t really an MCU flick, though—it’s the final entry in Fox’s X-Men film series. Whether or not you agree, it’s still the oddest MCU entry—not just because of its fourth-wall-breaking, but because it’s a sequel to two Fox movies.But the same can be said about Spider-Man: No Way Home to some extent, as it serves as a sequel of sorts to both Sam Raimi’s Spider-Man trilogy and The Amazing Spider-Man films.Credit: Marvel StudiosRelated: ‘Deadpool & Wolverine’s Secret Disneyland Experience ExplainedBut what’s particularly unique about Deadpool & Wolverine—besides the fact that it’s the MCU’s first meta installment and the first Fox carry-over, of course—is that it’s actually the second movie to jointly feature the two titular superheroes.Did everyone forget 2009’s Wolverine: X-Men Origins, the first film to star both Hugh Jackman as Logan/Wolverine and Ryan Reynolds as Wade Wilson/Deadpool? This means that Deadpool & Wolverine isn’t the third Deadpool movie—it’s the fourth!So, now that we’ve cleared that up, let’s rank all four Deadpool movies from worst to best.Wolverine: X-Men OriginsCredit: 20th Century Fox StudiosIt’s hardly surprising that we’ve ranked Wolverine: X-Men Origins as the lowest entry in the Deadpool film series—by a landslide, we might add.Though not quite the first entry in that series as it’s an X-Men spinoff and a Wolverine movie first and can only really be considered a Deadpool flick retrospectively, it still features Hugh Jackman and Ryan Reynolds’ X-Men characters, even if the latter portrayal felt like a bad dream for many fans at the time.The first of three Wolverine spinoffs, Wolverine: X-Men Origins is just as the title suggests: it’s an origin story centered on the titular adamantium-clawed mutant.Naturally, the film is populated with other mutants, which include Wade Wilson/Deadpool, portrayed by Ryan Reynolds. But don’t expect his iconic costume or fourth-wall-breaking charm—this iteration plays it very safe. At least until the final fight, by which point his mouth has been sewn shut.Though unknown to wider audiences back then, Reynolds’ mutant villain still failed to impress. As for the diehard Deadpool comic book enthusiasts at the time, his Terminator 2-inspired bladed arms and teleportation abilities were as equally staggering as his lack of dialogue.But despite being a terrible movie, Wolverine: X-Men Origins‘ death was not in vain as it provided some hilarious material for the final scenes in Deadpool 2 (2018).DeadpoolCredit: 20th Century StudiosThe first official film in the Deadpool series was a breath of fresh air back in 2016.During the height of the MCU’s then-seemingly unstoppable success (the same year Captain America: Civil War and Doctor Strange hit theaters), Deadpool (2016) offered cinemagoers the chance to experience the world of superheroes through a violent, R-rated lens with a meta, fourth-wall-breaking comedy film that also pokes fun at the MCU and the wider genre.But if Deadpool proves anything, it’s that Ryan Reynolds was born to play the Merc With a Mouth. He slips into the role as well as he does into the figure-hugging suit, and though it’s difficult to place the film into the X-Men series canonically (the fourth-wall gags about X-Men actors make it near impossible), the jokes are definitely worth it.Deadpool ticks many other boxes: it’s also action-packed, the soundtrack is great, and you care about all the characters.The film is far from perfect, though, as it ultimately becomes the type of formulaic superhero origin story complete with generic villains and all the other usual trappings it’s poking fun at (but maybe that’s the whole point).Nevertheless, it birthed the Deadpool franchise as we know it and gave us yet another iconic superhero to love. And somehow, despite essentially being an X-Men spoof, it’s also the best entry in the X-Men series. But then that isn’t saying much.Related: Ryan Reynolds and Hugh Jackman Release ‘Deadpool & Wolverine’ Music VideoDeadpool & WolverineCredit: Marvel StudiosSeeing as we had one unsurprising ranking on this list, it’s only fitting that there’s one that will leave you shaking your head in disbelief. But, of course, that’s not why we’ve placed the absolutely brilliant Deadpool & Wolverine in second place.Needless to say, the Merc with a Mouth’s first outing in the MCU knocks it out of the park and then some. It’s also Wolverine’s first shared universe rodeo, and he delivers in equal measure.Whether you’re here to watch Hugh Jackman’s Logan and Ryan Reynolds’ Wade Wilson beat the living hell out of each other and team up to save the world, or to see one of the many thrilling cameos (Jennifer Garner’s Elektra, Wesley Snipes’ Blade, and Dafne Keen’s Laura/X-23, to name a few), or all of the above, you won’t be disappointed by what can only be described as the boldest, ballsiest, and most bonkers MCU entry there will ever be.But it’s no stretch to say that Deadpool & Wolverine isn’t a perfect movie. With Deadpool now falling under the Disney banner and with it the MCU (as a result of Disney acquiring 20th Century Fox Studios in 2019), which provides some hilarious gags throughout, at the same time it stops the film from reaching its full potential.To put it simply, while this is probably the best version of Deadpool & Wolverine, it might not be the best Deadpool threequel.Deadpool 2Credit: 20th Century StudiosComing in just a cut above Deadpool & Wolverine is Deadpool 2. It’s fair to say that rewatching the 2018 sequel in the wake of last year’s crossover flick might be tough for many fans, but fortunately, Josh Brolin’s time-traveling mercenary Cable will fill part of the void left by Hugh Jackman’s Logan/Wolverine.Of course, Cable’s presence pales in comparison, but his back-and-forth with Deadpool still serves as a suitable distraction.Deadpool 2 is populated with other great characters, too, from Zazie Beets’ Domino to Rob Delaney’s Peter. The plot is also a lot more interesting than its predecessor’s as the film brings time travel into the fold (which never fails to entertain), as well as a heartfelt tragedy between Wade and Morena Baccarin’s Vanessa.Deadpool 2 has it all, including, of course, a ton of swearing and bloody violence—two of the key ingredients to making any film in this series great.The reason we’ve ranked Deadpool 2 in first place, though, comes down to two main things: it’s the funniest film in this series and it has the best story. But we’d be lying if we said the film’s final moments don’t play a huge part, too.Watching Deadpool “correct” a few timelines, from Wolverine: X-Men Origins to DC’s Green Lantern (2011)—another one of Reynolds’ failed superhero outings—is nothing short of laugh-out-loud hilarious.Related: ‘Deadpool & Wolverine’ Definitely Isn’t Canon With the MCUCheck out the trailer for Deadpool & Wolverine below:Deadpool & Wolverine stars Ryan Reynolds (Wade Wilson/Deadpool), Hugh Jackman (Logan/Wolverine), Emma Corrin (Cassandra Nova), Matthew Macfadyen (Mr Paradox), Morena Baccarin (Vanessa Carlysle), Rob Delaney (Peter Wisdom), Leslie Uggams (Blind Al), Karan Soni (Dopinder), Brianna Hildebrand (Negasonic Teenage Warhead), Shioli Kutsuna (Yukio), Stefan Kapičić (Colossus), Jennifer Garner (Elektra Natchios), Wesley Snipes (Blade), Channing Tatum (Gambit), and Daphne Keen (Laura/X-23).The film is now streaming on Disney+.Do you agree with this ranking?
