I think people are massively lowballing here. The gross of DP1 + DP2 = 1.6b, solo wolverine films = 1.4b, jackman x-men ensemble films = 2b
… so not even accounting for inflation this movie could be looking at 5 billion
Ehhhh.
Look, I’m sure the movie will be fine but I feel like deadpool of all franchises should have amazing promos, and none of these film’s have been. Logan’s a top 3 SH movie as far as I’m concerned but seeing jackman here still does nothing for me.
It is sort of weird that Richie keeps being allowed to make fairly big movies. He’s clearly likeable enough on set that big actors keep coming back to work with him.
Edwards is a competent enough director that feels like a final test of whether a Jurassic Park sequel is at all capable of not sucking, or if the setup just makes it fundamentally impossible for follow-ups to good
Hey, if reeves want to ignore that crappy deleted scene as canon I’ll be the first to say ‘phew’. Premature of him to release it in the first place to have his cake and eat it in that case, but hey-ho.
The joker the reeves film already has looks absolutely awful and phoenix’s joker would pose zero threat to any Batman so it’s safe to say I’m in the ‘give joker as an arch nemesis a rest for a decade’ camp

Multi-million dollar hollywood pay checks are an unhelpful battleground to fight the (very worthwhile) gender pay disparity war on.
We all know why phoenix is getting paid more for this film, and it’s not because he has a dick.
I don’t love the first film but I internally reconciled the character as someone who basically fantasises about being the joker. It’s certainly more interesting than taking him as literal version of the joker, because he’d be fucking useless if he was.
Also used in the tv show Alan Partridge to highlight another doomed romance. Partridge was of course played by Steve Coogan who now appears to be Joker’s therapist, or something, so in my head-cannon it’s a deliberate call-back to that
I’ve come to grudgingly admire Randolph. She’s an absolute chancer who lodged herself into online film discourse with nothing but sheer force of will. I respect the hustle
