Discover the Post-Deadpool Movie Trail
Everything Everywhere All At Once (2022)
The multiverse concept is all the rage these days, and Deadpool & Wolverine is no exception. But if you want to see a film that truly uses this idea to create something deeply moving and compelling, look no further than Daniels' Everything Everywhere All At Once. This is a movie that defies convention and takes you on a wild ride. Just like Deadpool & Wolverine's multiverse-hopping adventure, Everything Everywhere is filled with emotional and fulfilling moments that will stay with you long after the credits roll.
The strangeness of this movie is what makes it unique. It won the Best Picture award at the Academy Awards, which is a testament to its brilliance. If you enjoyed the few emotional moments in Deadpool & Wolverine, imagine experiencing a whole movie like that. That's what Everything Everywhere has in store for you.
Bad Boys (1995)
R-rated buddy action-comedies are a dime a dozen, but the duo of Mike and Marcus from Michael Bay's Bad Boys has stood the test of time. Just like Deadpool and Wolverine, they form an on-screen pair that is truly unforgettable. The fourth film in the franchise was released earlier this year, but the original Bad Boys remains the best. Will Smith and Martin Lawrence have amazing chemistry, and they'll have you laughing just as hard as Wade and Logan, if not harder.
Their banter and camaraderie are infectious, and you'll find yourself rooting for them every step of the way. If you're looking for a movie that will keep you entertained from start to finish, Bad Boys is the perfect choice.
Planes, Trains & Automobiles (1987)
Let's keep the buddy comedy train rolling! The humor in these types of movies often comes from two characters who are forced to get along, even though they don't really like each other. And there's no duo that does this better than Steve Martin and the late John Candy in John Hughes' Planes, Trains & Automobiles.
This is a classic comedy that everyone should see. Martin and Candy's chemistry is palpable as they embark on a road trip that is both hilarious and heartwarming. It's hard to imagine two men delivering more laughs than they do on their journey back to Chicago. And what better time to watch it than during Thanksgiving?
Birds of Prey (2020)
While this list is supposed to be about non-Marvel movies, Birds of Prey (or the Fantabulous Emancipation of One Harley Quinn) is an exception. These two films share a lot in common. They both feature characters that became popular in the 90s and were once considered second-tier heroes/villains before becoming modern pop culture icons.
Birds of Prey has its own unique charm and style, and it's a must-watch for fans of Deadpool & Wolverine. It shows that even in a different universe, there are stories to be told and characters to love.
The Proposal (2009)
Ryan Reynolds' career has been defined by Deadpool for the past decade, and many of his other roles seem to be inspired by his work with the wise-cracking mercenary. But before Deadpool, Reynolds was already a master of quippy performances, and The Proposal is a prime example.
Reynolds stars opposite Sandra Bullock in this romantic comedy, and their chemistry is electric. As a big-time editor and her assistant, they find themselves in a tricky situation that leads to some hilarious and heartwarming moments. Bullock remains Reynolds' best on-screen scene partner, and their performances are a joy to watch.
Eddie the Eagle (2015)
Imagine watching a movie where Hugh Jackman plays the more seasoned half of an unlikely duo on a quest to achieve the impossible. That sounds familiar, doesn't it? We're talking about Eddie the Eagle, the inspiring true story about an underdog Olympic ski jumper. Taron Egerton stars in the lead role, with Jackman playing his coach, Bronson Peary.
Jackman's performance as the coach is both inspiring and heartwarming. He helps push the young athlete beyond his limits and achieve greatness. It's a story that will make you believe in the power of determination and hard work.
Mame (1974)
Although this movie has nothing to do with Deadpool & Wolverine in a direct sense, it is important for fans of Wade Wilson. Bea Arthur is a TV icon, and her role in Mame is a significant one. Mame stars Lucille Ball as the wealthy, free-spirited aunt of an orphaned boy, and Arthur plays her friend and rival.
It's a charming movie that showcases the talents of these two great actresses. Even if it's not a superhero movie, it adds another layer to the world of Deadpool and his loved ones.
