Hugh Jackman's 2024 film ‘Deadpool & Wolverine’ broke box-office records.

Starring Ryan Reynolds and Hugh Jackman, the Marvel Cinematic Universe's Deadpool & Wolverine focuses on the duo teaming up to save the world.

Although critic reviews for the film aren’t stellar, the money is exceeding expectations. Variety reported that the film made $38.5 million in Thursday’s previews at the box office.
