As the only Marvel movie in all of 2024, was guaranteed to be a major release. The movie, which ties in Fox’s biggest superhero franchises now that they are both owned by Disney, also promises to be something of a shakeup for a Marvel universe that seems to be in desperate need of it.
If you saw the movie and are looking for something similar, we’ve got you covered — not with other DeadpoolorWolverinemovies, because that would be a little too obvious, but with other movies that get at some of the same things that makeDeadpool & Wolverine such a success.

Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 (2023)
Marvel Studios’ Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 | New Trailer
The only superhero movie on this list, Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3has the exact same combination of mirth and heart that makesDeadpool & Wolverineso successful. The movie is a conclusion of sorts to the Guardians, and it really shifts its focus primarily to Rocket as we learn where he comes from and why his past is starting to catch up with him.
Few movies of this scale manage to be this funny, this violent, and this genuinely emotional. The Guardians are very good friends, and that friendship is what carries you through all of the absurdity that makes up any entry in this franchise, but especially this third installment.
Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 is streaming on Disney+.
Detective Pikachu (2019)
POKÉMON Detective Pikachu - Official Trailer #1
If you just can’t get enough of Ryan Reynolds,Detective Pikachuis a great place to go next. While Reynolds doesn’t appear on screen (much) in this movie, his voice is all over it as a talking Pikachu in a world filled with Pokémon. The film follows a young man who is searching for his missing father, and discovers that a talking Pikachu is the perfect companion in his quest.
For a movie about Pokémon, you’ll be surprised at how deft and light on its feet Detective Pikachumanages to be. This movie is smart, funny, and has a surprisingly engaging mystery.
Detective Pikachu is streaming on Netflix.
The Fall Guy (2024)
The Fall Guy | Official Trailer
A more romantic movie with a similar sense of humor toDeadpool & Wolverine,The Fall Guy tells the story of a stunt man who retires following an accident, only to be called back into action when the leading man he often did stunts for goes missing. Along the way, he attempts to rekindle a romance he once had with an aspiring director who is trying to make her first major blockbuster.
The Fall Guy packs a lot into its running time, but it runs on the sheer charisma of Ryan Gosling, and on the chemistry he shares with Emily Blunt.The Fall Guyalso features some genuinely amazing stunt work, which is good, because the movie is above all else a tribute to stunt people and the work they do.
The Fall Guy can be purchased on Amazon Prime Video.

Is Ryan Reynolds the best Deadpool? We rank all the Deadpools in movies, TV shows, and games
This week, Ryan Reynolds is back in theaters in Deadpool & Wolverine, and it's not a spoiler to say that you'll be seeing more of his take on the character than ever before. It's a role he's been playing since 2009, and Reynolds is now closely associated with Deadpool. But he's not the only actor to portray Marvel's Merc with a Mouth.
That said, Deadpool has far fewer multimedia appearances than Wolverine or Spider-Man. There was also a missed opportunity when Donald Glover's adult animated adaptation of Deadpool for FX fell apart over creative differences. Regardless, to mark the new movie's release, we're sharing our rankings of all of the Deadpools to date.
