Thanks to the massive box office success of Deadpool & Wolverine, Deadpool is now one of the highest-grossing heroes in the MCU.
The Ryan Reynolds and Hugh Jackman-led film became one of the top-grossing films of this year. It has also broken a lot of box office records including becoming the highest-grossing R-rated movie of all time.
So far, it remains to be seen whether Marvel Studios will do another movie featuring Deadpool or team up with Wolverine, but this shows that the hero has become a massively popular character in the Marvel universe.
Deadpool is Now One of the Highest-Grossing Heroes in the MCU
A recent report tallied the box office records of the franchises of each MCU hero and confirmed that Deadpool has nabbed the No. 2 spot in the list of the highest-grossing heroes in the MCU of all time.
All three Deadpool films have accumulated a total gross of $2,855,547,801, and it will likely increase a bit more as it is still showing in some theaters worldwide.
Spider-Man currently holds the top spot with a total gross of $3,920,121,775 for all his MCU movies.
This is an incredible feat for both franchises as this indicates that they are the most commercially successful MCU heroes and they are extremely popular among the general audience.
There are a lot of ways that we can point out why these characters are the top two highest-grossing heroes in the MCU, but it's not surprising that they hold the spots based on the responses we've seen in their films.
After all, both Deadpool & Wolverine and Spider-Man: No Way Home are the only MCU films post-Endgame that crossed the billion-dollar mark at the box office.
It would be interesting to see if this will lead to more movies with them in the future beyond what is currently being planned. Who knows, perhaps they'll even consider a Deadpool and Spider-Man team-up movie which is what some fans want.
