Deadpool & Wolverine reaches another MCU milestone, leaving popular movies like Captain America: Civil War in the dust. Deadpool & Wolverine has become the highest-grossing R-rated film of all time, beating Joker and the two previous Deadpool movies. Deadpool & Wolverine's multiple cameos and connections to the MCU multiverse makes it a crossover of sorts, but most of the attention lies on the two titular characters. Ryan Reynolds' Deadpool and Hugh Jackman's Wolverine cemented themselves as A-list characters in Fox's X-Men franchise, and their MCU introduction proves their superhero journey may only be starting.
On August 23, 2024 — almost one month after its worldwide release — Deadpool & Wolverine surpasses Captain America: Civil War's total gross. According to Box Office Mojo, Deadpool has earned $1.154 billion so far, against Captain America: Civil War's $1.153 billion. While a 2020 re-release added around $1.750 million to Captain America: Civil War, Deadpool is set to surpass this number almost immediately. This landmark is impressive for Deadpool & Wolverine, as its R rating wasn't an obstacle to matching and outperforming one of the Infinity Saga's biggest crossovers, which starred most of the Avengers and Spider-Man in his MCU debut.
How Deadpool & Wolverine Ranks Among The MCU's Highest Grossing Movies Deadpool & Wolverine Continues To Rise Through The MCU's Top 10 Close Deadpool & Wolverinemay not get close to Avengers: Endgame's historical $2.799-billion record, but it has definitely exceeded expectations. Besides Captain America: Civil War, Deadpool & Wolverine has already surpassed MCU hits such as Spider-Man: Far From Home, Captain Marvel, Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness, Spider-Man: Homecoming, and the Guardians of the Galaxy trilogy. Deadpool & Wolverine is the eleventh MCU movie to hit the $1 billion mark, and it might be on track to hit the $1.5 billion mark soon.
