Africa-Press – Nigeria. The hype is high for the upcoming superhero film Deadpool & Wolverine, with its trailer already breaking records.
The film’s trailer was released on Sunday during the Super Bowl. The teaser scored “365 million views in 24 hours, which makes it the most-viewed movie trailer of all time”, according to Disney.
The record was previously held by another Marvel title, Spider-Man: No Way Home (2021), which amassed 355.5 million online views within the first 24 hours of its release, according to Variety.
Debuting during the Super Bowl, whose telecast reached 123.7 million viewers, helped the trailer accumulate a large number of views. The Super Bowl was also the most-watched programme in television history, according to AP News.
Deadpool & Wolverine, starring Ryan Reynolds and Hugh Jackman, sees the fourth-wall-breaking hero entering the Marvel Cinematic Universe, with Jackman reprising his role as the iconic X-Men character.
Jackman’s last role as Wolverine was in the 2017 film Logan, which was a cinematic send-off for the character in the X-Men franchise.
The film is in cinemas on 26 July and also stars Emma Corrin, Morena Baccarin, Rob Delaney and Leslie Uggams. This will be the MCU’s first R-rated film.
