Outside ofAvengers: Endgame, Deadpool & Wolverine may carry themost pre-release baggageof anything in Marvel history.
With Wolverine, youve got 10 X-Men movieswith all manner of wild stories,including the character actually dying.
Dont sweat it, says director Shawn Levy.
“What homework?” asks Deadpool.Image: Marvel Studios
But I didnt want to presume that.
This movie is built for entertainment, with no obligation to come prepared with prior research.
I was a good student in school, Levy added.
Ill do my homework as an adult.
But I am definitely not looking to do homework when I go to the movies.
If you know the history of the TVA from Loki, for example, thats great.
Itll add some depth and richness.
If you dont though and its just some weird group capturing Deadpool, thatll work too.
You still get enough to enjoy.
Homework isnt needed, but itll be rewarded.
But, if you miss an assignment or two, trust the director.
Deadpool & Wolverine opens July 26.
