From Fox to Disney: The Corporate Shuffle
Following Disney’s acquisition of Fox in March 2019, Deadpool drifted into the Marvel portfolio. Though the series’ violent streak clashed with Disney’s family‑friendly ethos, the box‑office arsenal of the first two films—spiking $1.5 billion worldwide—made the move inevitable.
Deadpool’s Box‑Office Brilliance
2016’s debut kicked off a global frenzy, pulling in $782 million with a budget of less than $60 million. The 2018 sequel pushed another $761 million worldwide, cementing the character’s status as a blockbuster.
- First Installment (2016) – Reached $782 million on a shoestring $60 million budget.
- Second Installment (2018) – Netted another $761 million across the globe.
