Deadpool 3 named Fandango’s most anticipated movie of 2024

By

2023 was the roughest year to date for Marvel Studios, with Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania collapsing in its second weekend and The Marvels flopping even harder than The Flash. But the good news for Marvel is that the MCU brand is far from finished. Fandango has revealed that Deadpool 3, the only Marvel Studios movie on the calendar for next year, is the most anticipated movie of 2024.

Fandango is an advanced movie ticket service that has been around since 2000. This year’s 2024 Most Anticipated Movies Survey received responses from over 8,000 Fandango users. Deadpool 3’s rise to the top stems in large part from the long-awaited team-up of Ryan Reynolds’ hilarious antihero and Hugh Jackman’s Wolverine. Reynolds briefly played a different version of Deadpool in X-Men Origins: Wolverine in 2009. But this marks their first full-length movie together.

Deadpool 3 is also rumored to include several former Marvel superhero actors from the 20th Century Fox era, including Jennifer Garner as Elektra. That’s also driving the interest in the film, especially if any of those characters return for the eventual crossover film, Avengers: Secret Wars.

May is the last month of spring before the summer season officially kicks in. It's also the month when many countries celebrate Mother's Day, a special holiday for you to tell the woman who gave you life how much you love her and how sorry you are for everything you've ever done that's made her cry.

To celebrate this remarkable month, you might want to check out these underrated streaming gems that will go hand in hand with the vibe of these 31 days. From movies about self-sacrificing mothers to movies about actresses mothering to even a few featuring women who should've never been mothers, these underappreciated efforts are among the best movies on Netflix, Amazon, and other services, not to mention perfect options to watch throughout the month.

The great thing about sci-fi movies on Hulu is that there's always an abundance of films in this genre from the 20th Century Fox library alone. But genre fans can't live on just Alien, Predator, or Alien vs. Predator. We need a little variety with these fantastic adventures, because there's only so many times we can watch all of the Planet of the Apes movies.

This month's picks for the three great sci-fi movies on Hulu that you need to watch in May are all from outside studios. They include Vin Diesel's favorite sci-fi franchise, a 2021 science fiction thriller starring Hugh Jackman, and an unusual sci-fi buddy comedy that goes in some very unexpected directions.

May marks the start of the summer blockbuster season. While the theatrical slate includes The Fall Guy, Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes, and Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga, Netflix will release its own action blockbuster, Atlas, on May 24. Similar blockbusters currently available for streaming include The Matrix, The Hunger Games, and Extraction.

These films are just the tip of the iceberg for the streamer's action genre. Netflix boasts an impressive library of action and adventure films ready for consumption. Stream these three action movies in May, including a fantasy saga from Gina Prince-Bythewood, a slick Western, and a stoner comedy.
