Deadpool 3 named Fandango’s most anticipated movie of 2024

2023 was the roughest year to date for Marvel Studios, with Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania collapsing in its second weekend and The Marvels flopping even harder than The Flash. But the good news for Marvel is that the MCU brand is far from finished. Fandango has revealed that Deadpool 3, the only Marvel Studios movie on the calendar for next year, is the most anticipated movie of 2024.

Fandango is an advanced movie ticket service that has been around since 2000. This year’s 2024 Most Anticipated Movies Survey received responses from over 8,000 Fandango users. Deadpool 3’s rise to the top stems in large part from the long-awaited team-up of Ryan Reynolds’ hilarious antihero and Hugh Jackman’s Wolverine. Reynolds briefly played a different version of Deadpool in X-Men Origins: Wolverine in 2009. But this marks their first full-length movie together.

Deadpool 3 is also rumored to include several former Marvel superhero actors from the 20th Century Fox era, including Jennifer Garner as Elektra. That’s also driving the interest in the film, especially if any of those characters return for the eventual crossover film, Avengers: Secret Wars.
