At the latest Super Bowl LVIII, Marvel Studios made a major announcement: the long-awaited third installment of the Deadpool film series, formerly known as Deadpool 3, has been renamed Deadpool & Wolverine. Directed by Shawn Levy, recognized for his work on Deadpool 2, this new addition to the Deadpool franchise will be part of the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) following The Walt Disney Company’s acquisition of 20th Century Fox, now known as 20th Century Studios. Credit: Ryan Reynolds, Instagram Related: Every ‘Deadpool & Wolverine’ Cameo We Know So Far Ryan Reynolds, recognized for his role as Deadpool/Wade Wilson (or as he calls himself, “Marvel Jesus”), teamed up with his “frenemy” Hugh Jackman, renowned for his portrayal of Wolverine/Logan in the Fox X-Men Universe. Together, they first disclosed that the Deadpool series would continue, smoothly moving into Disney’s MCU under the guidance of Marvel Studios President Kevin Feige. Credit: Ryan Reynolds Instagram During the Multiverse Saga phase, as the Fox X-Men Universe converges with the vast MCU, Marvel now faces the challenge of incorporating the mutant-focused X-Men universe into the narrative of the third Deadpool movie. Naturally, what’s now canon to the Marvel Cinematic Universe will have to be reevaluated — and it appears that the fan-favorite Wolverine send-off, Logan (2017), that ended Jackman’s tenure in the X-Men franchise, before the entire thing ended in 2019’s X-Men: Dark Phoenix, will now have its ending likely altered.
Florida saw a pretty big battle this legislative session that went unnoticed. It did not produce a controversial law, but it could affect everyone planning a future trip to the Walt Disney World Resort. The Florida Legislature was considering a law that would have allowed credit card companies to continue charging higher fees to vendors every time a customer charges a credit card. The law would have cemented credit card companies’ rights and ensured they could charge vendors fees on sales tax and the original purchase. Credit: DeSantis/Canva, edited by Inside the Magic Those vendors, in turn, pass those fees along to guests. In this case, Disney World will charge you more every time you use your credit card. However, the Florida Tourism and Restaurant Association successfully blocked that bill from becoming law and is now working to create a law that would ban swipe fees on sales tax throughout the state. The Florida Tourism and Restaurant Association represents the likes of Walt Disney World and Universal Studios Orlando, who also have sway with Florida Lawmakers. Disney World saw this as a threat to its profits and fought to ensure it did not become law. In this case, there really is no good guy; just two large lobbying organizations are attempting to take money from consumers. The question is how much they will get. Credit: Inside the Magic The answer is around $300 million a year from Florida alone. These companies make millions by
