By the end of this weekend, “Deadpool & Wolverine,” the latest film from Disney’s recently beleaguered Marvel Cinematic Universe franchise, will likely have surpassed $1 billion in worldwide ticket sales.
This success would seem to be a win for audiences that want both big franchise movies and adult content.
“Deadpool & Wolverine” is certainly not for kids.
At its core, this new made-for-adults film is still just another big-budget franchise movie based on empty nostalgia and catering to childishness, if not children.
(Or, perhaps, the same tastes that your child currently has, given the size of the adult “Bluey” audience.)
