The recent Deadpool and Wolverine in-theater spot, crafted to remind moviegoers to silence their cellphones, premiered at CinemaCon to the amusement of theater owners. This humorous ad features the two beloved Marvel characters engaging in a conversation about the highly anticipated ‘Avengers: Secret Wars.’ However, their dialogue is persistently interrupted by the obnoxious ring of a cellphone, leading to Wolverine’s direct and bleeped outburst towards the audience, underscoring the frustration of many when cellphones disrupt the cinematic experience. This meta-commentary not only seeks to enforce theater etiquette but does so through the irreverent humor that Deadpool is known for. Given the reception at CinemaCon, the ad is expected to hit theaters, although official confirmation from the Marvel/Deadpool team remains pending.
The partnership between Deadpool and Wolverine is not new to the silver screen. They previously teamed up for a promotional spot during “Logan” in 2017, where Deadpool’s attempt to emulate Wolverine’s heroism falls flat in a darkly comedic fashion. This history of blending humor with theater announcements has proven effective in the past. The recent CinemaCon event also highlighted an unexpected shift in tone for Disney executives, known for their family-friendly image. As they approach the release of Marvel Studios’ first R-rated movie, they seem to embrace Deadpool’s no-holds-barred style, with top executives and creatives freely using expletives on stage. This marks a significant cultural change within Disney’s presentation style, influenced by the edgier content they are now incorporating into their portfolio.
The impact of Deadpool’s R-rated legacy is evident as even Disney’s mild-mannered executives find themselves mimicking the film’s unfiltered language. Kevin Feige’s enthusiastic endorsement of “Deadpool & Wolverine” with the use of the F-word, followed by similar instances from other Disney figures, signifies a departure from the company’s traditional image. This change was humorously attributed to Deadpool’s corrupting influence. It appears that Deadpool’s irreverent spirit has injected a newfound boldness into Disney’s public persona, as evidenced by the candid expletives dropped during discussions of upcoming films. This pivot reflects a broader trend in the entertainment industry towards more adult-oriented content, even among studios historically geared towards family audiences.
