Earlier today, Deadpool & Wolverine passed Joker at the worldwide box office to become the highest-grossing R-Rated movie ever at the worldwide box office.

Now, Marvel Studios President Kevin Feige has shared a brief statement thanking fans and, in the background, we see some of the slang terms for cocaine Deadpool told Blind Al the executive had on a list somewhere. 

"Thanks for making Marvel Studios' first R-rated movie the biggest of all time," Feige said. "It's fantastic to see that audiences are loving this movie as much as we all loved making it. All those conversations were worth it!"

A new poster for Deadpool & Wolverine has also been released which you can check out below.

Hot Toys has also unveiled yet another Deadpool Corps member from its range of Deadpool & Wolverine 1/6th scale action figures: Kidpool. 7-year-old Inez Reynolds voiced the foul-mouthed Variant in the movie and we see here that she's wielding two water pistols!

It will also come bundled with a couch, allowing fans to create a "family photo" of sorts with the Corps. We can't imagine Hot Toys plucked that idea out of thin air, so chances are this was an early idea for Deadpool & Wolverine used in reference material sent to the manufacturer.

Here's the official description for the figure along with some first-look images:

The carefully crafted Kidpool figure features a newly developed masked head with multiple pairs of interchangeable eye piece, a distressed red and black costume that recreates Kidpool in his two-layered hoodie and red pants with kneepads, and a pair of matching sneakers.

The Kidpool Special weapons - a pair of water guns, backpack with two katanas, interchangeable hands for different poses and gestures, are included alongside the figure.

What’s more is that a gray colored couch with battle damage effect is going to complete your own beautiful “Deadpool family photo” in 1/6th scale!

In our review Deadpool & Wolverine last month - which you can read by clicking here - we concluded by saying, "A contender for the best superhero movie ever, Deadpool & Wolverine is two hours of Ryan Reynolds and Hugh Jackman proving they were born to play these roles and, crucially, be part of the MCU. It’s a f***ing masterpiece."

Shawn Levy directs Deadpool & Wolverine, which stars Ryan Reynolds, Hugh Jackman, Emma Corrin, Morena Baccarin, Rob Delaney, Leslie Uggams, Karan Soni, Matthew Macfadyen, and Dafne Keen. The movie is written by Ryan Reynolds & Rhett Reese & Paul Wernick & Zeb Wells & Shawn Levy.

Kevin Feige, Reynolds, Levy and Lauren Shuler Donner produce with Louis D’Esposito, Wendy Jacobson, Mary McLaglen, Josh McLaglen, Rhett Reese, Paul Wernick, George Dewey, Simon Kinberg and Jonathon Komack Martin serving as executive producers.

Deadpool & Wolverine is now playing in theaters.

@S8R8M - Totally. That cracked me up. Good on Feige for being able to make fun of himself and take a joke.

The breath of fresh air needed after a less than stellar 2023. Very promising start for more R-rated movies in the MCU. Underneath all the violence and vulgarity, there is still a story about 2 guys and their low points.

@MCUKnight11 - yeah , it’s a nice ray of positivity after a low 2023 not just for Marvel but cbms in general

Also you are right in that underneath all the Rated R-ness of it all is heart and a story about 2 guys at a low point in their lives that find new purpose and redemption .

The raunchy & meta humor aswell as bloody action can be fun but it’s that emotional core that sticks with you imo

Between this and 97, I think mutants are going to shine brighter than ever under the MCU.

That poster is cool , hope we get more drawn posters then the Photoshop ones we usually get these days!!

Also thanks Feige for making the movie and its success is well deserved since it was solid film…

Also good on him for being able to poke fun at himself , not many can do that and shows that he doesn’t take himself too seriously which is a good thing.

The Deadpool Corps were the weakest part of the movie in my opinion. Loki did the Loki variants justice giving each of them their own little story arcs in a short amount of time.

@SonOfAGif - I disagree somewhat. Their reveal was best part of the movie. I see where you're coming from though. Maybe we will get a deadpool 4 and the corps have bigger role.

@TheRogue - I just felt like with all the promotional material featuring Headpool, Kidpool, Babypool, and Lady Deadpool, We would have gotten some type of character development. Hell we got a whole storyline with Nicepool and Dogpool that had a nice introduction and an ending. I felt like the Deadpool Corps were no different than Kang's army in Quantumania.

@SonOfAGif - The Loki variants in the Void were more comparable to the Void Resistance on D&W, imo.

The Deadpool Corps were the cannon fodder army, they didn't need to be fleshed out at all. They were Deadpool variants used by Nova to stop D&W from getting in her way.

They coulda just been guys in suits, but they were Deadpools, which is way better.

I mean you don't need the random guys John Wick fights to be fleshed out. 🤷‍♂

I thought it was absolutely terrible. Kinda shocked it got so much praise from fans. Id say that metacritic score is pretty accurate.

Kidpool? Sounds like McGee's backyard.

For all my nitpicks, the movie absolutely delivered on humor, heart, a reverence for the main characters and some of the side characters, humor, disrespect... Beautiful disrespect... It was glorious.

I think this helps set up a good pillar for the multiverse setting up Secret Wars.
