Six years after David Leitch’s Deadpool 2, the notoriously trashy anti-hero Deadpool, still played by Ryan Reynolds (but bought by Disney in the meantime), is back for new adventures. This time, he is forced to team up with Wolverine (Hugh Jackman) to meet Cassandra Nova, the twin sister of Professor Xavier, played by Emma Corinne.
Released last Wednesday, Deadpool & Wolverine, directed by Sean Levy, was very well received by the French press, with an average rating of 3.5 out of 5. Even the top-rated movie of the week is clearly ahead of My Perfect Stranger and Gondola. .
What is it about?
After failing to join the Avengers team, Wade Wilson bounces from one small job to another without really finding his way. Until the day a high-ranking officer of the anachronistic Variation Court offers him a mission worthy of his… on the condition that he sees his world and everyone he loves destroyed.
After flatly refusing, Wade dons the Deadpool costume once again and tries to convince Wolverine to help him save the world…
