This is NOT a drill. 🚨 Marvel’s #Deadpool, #Deadpool2, and #Logan are coming to #DisneyPlus tomorrow! pic.twitter.com/krh7U28b4EThe 2016 Deadpool anti-hero film, along with its 2018 sequel, details the adventures of foul-mouthed mercenary Wade Wilson. Logan, which premiered in 2017, follows the X-Men hero Wolverine in his effort to defend a young mutant within a post-apocalyptic world.
“Oh no… No[t] this again!” a Twitter user said. “Please require passwords to watch R Rated Marvel Movies like they did with TVMA Marvel Shows on Netflix!”Others suggested parents should “just be a parent.” Following the announcement, Deadpool star Ryan Reynolds joked that Disney classics, including Old Yeller and Bambi, should also be R-rated “for irreversible trauma.”
We’re supposed to announce Logan and Deadpool will soon be the first R-rated movies on Disney+. But we all know some Disney movies should already be rated R for irreversible trauma. pic.twitter.com/FoIbiwKhiGThe timing of the announcement also had some guessing whether Disney would announce a new Deadpool sequel at this weekend’s San Diego Comic-Con.
