Marvel Studios's resurgence with 'Deadpool & Wolverine'
Marvel's acquisition of 20th Fox Studios in 2019 brought several fan-favorite superheroes under the MCU umbrella, including X-Men. This opened the door for Wolverine's return and marked a turnaround for Marvel Studios, which had been on a downturn since Phase 4. Deadpool & Wolverine was instrumental in this resurgence.
'Deadpool & Wolverine' featured surprise cameos
Apart from the much-anticipated Deadpool-Wolverine team-up, the film also featured surprise appearances of actors who had played Marvel characters in the past. Chris Evans notably reprised his role as Human Torch from the Fantastic Four series. Other returning actors included Jennifer Garner, Wesley Snipes, and Channing Tatum as their X-Men characters Elektra, Blade, and Gambit respectively. Chris Hemsworth also made a brief appearance as Thor.
