I haven't checked Once Upon a Deadpool in a bit but I'm 99% certain they kept NTW and Yukio being unambiguously a couple. Edit: went back to check and none of the coverage of the changes mentions any censorship of that kind in the English version at least, just mostly focused on the swearing and gore

Unedited?

Well it's for all of Marvel not just movies. It does give them a place to make announcements though.

The idea they're locked into the Fox casts has never made any sense, in no small part due to the fact that...Fox wasn't either. They've recast several major characters. It's hard to believe they're contractually required to use Marsdens Cyclops for instance when the last movie Cyclops appeared in didn't

I don't see why (or, in some cases...how?) that'd be the case. I know there's rumors of some weird contractual shit with the actors but by the time the X-Men reboot will come around there's no way those would still be in effect.

But the cameos are barely part of the advertising. Aside from distant background shots of the Brotherhood there really aren't any sort of cameo baiting in the actual trailers.

A 200 million r rated opening changes how studios approach r ratings not unlike how Avengers doing it in 2012 kicked off everyone wanting a cinematic universe tbh. It'd be great but I wanna see numbers closer to release.

But they also weren't on sale two full months in advance.

Well Deadline setting expectations high for sure. No low balling like with Inside Out 2

This and Deadpool are two much needed huge punches to the summer.

....Deadpool is gay. He's hit on men and women in both of the previous movies. The first movie opens with a joke about hitting on Wolverine.

Yes but my point is for an anime film 50 DOM total would be considered a runaway success, which is why 50 OW is insane to me

I am almost certain that it's been removed from several of the shots that seem to be from the ending (like the slow mo walk of them together). For instance:

I'll note that I said 300ish was the CEILING not that it's what I think it'll make.

Filmings wrapped! And with very few set photos too

I got a feeling you don't actually have a source for this claim, much like your claim that there have been secret reshoots

I believe it'll be successful but 500ww is a massive reach. Demon Slayer made that much because it came out October 2020, there was almost nothing else even playing. It's also worth noting that movies success has not even come close to being replicated by subsequent Demon Slayer films. The ceiling, to me, seems likely to be around 300-330m WW at highest.

By this same logic there's zero reason to assume The Marvels box office is any indication of Cap 4 and proof audiences hate Marvel now. The rumors of the entire movie being reshot are debunked now. It wasn't true. So why do people keep bringing it up like it was?

There had been no reshoots on this movie prior to the current one that began in May. This is incredibly well documented. It's been reported, time and again, and confirmed by footage of the reshoots taking place that it's of action sequences. Marvels most recently release is the best reviewed thing the studio has ever made and their next one is likely going to be the biggest movie of the year. This idea that everyone hates Marvel doesn't seem to explain Deadpools all but guaranteed opening weekend record. The metrics people use for something being a failure on here are insane. "Some people didn't like one scene in a TV show in 2021. No actor can recover from that!"

It's three weeks, and it's action scenes. have no earthly idea where this "they've reshot the whole movie" thing came from but it isn't true.

Unless tracking suddenly indicates a massive change in anime trends: not a snowballs chance in hell. That's nearly as big as the OW of the last Hobbit movie. The Demon Slayer movie was considered a big anime hit in the US with 49m TOTAL. Dragon Ball, one of the biggest anime franchises in the world, can't break 40. Pokemon, at its height in the 90s/early 2000s could not break 90 with it's first movie, and the last animated Pokemon movie with an actual wide release couldn't crack 20. And those were Japanese franchises to start with. Anime films have a very hard ceiling in the west box office wise. They just aren't blockbusters

So why exactly is everyone so convinced this is destined to be a disaster somehow? Like even The Marvels wasn't some critically panned atrocity. I think this boards habit of declaring things doomed ridiculously far out is insane.

Yes, because it objectively is a sequel. Why would anyone argue otherwise.
