Marvel Announces Release Date for Deadpool and Wolverine on Disney+ through Humorous Toilet Reference
Marvel has finally disclosed the release date for Deadpool & Logan on Disney+, but due to the film's notorious vulgar humor, Marvel opted for an unconventional approach to announce its November 12 premiere date. This announcement was made in an unusual setting - a urinal decked out with Wade Wilson and Logan-themed deodorizer blocks. Quite the innovative marketing strategy, isn't it?
If you're still puzzling over why Marvel would advertise the movie's release in such an unconventional manner, it appears that they have a clever method to their madness. According to the film's press release, several sports venue bathroom stalls will house these distinctive yellow and red urinal blocks. For those eager fans seeking out a man in a masked horse, here are the specific arenas and dates when these "sacred stalls" will appear:
October 30, 2024
- NBA's Detroit Pistons v. Philadelphia 76ers (Wells Fargo Center, Philadelphia, PA)
- NBA's Brooklyn Nets v. Memphis Grizzlies (FedEx Forum, Memphis, TN)
- NHL's New York Islanders v. Columbus Blue Jackets (Nationwide Arena, Columbus, OH)
October 31, 2024 (Halloween)
- NHL's St. Louis Blues v. Philadelphia Flyers (Wells Fargo Center, Philadelphia, PA)
Marvel's deadpan Deadpool & Logan publicity stunt essentially consists of placing soap bars in urinals. Hopefully, no major fan uproar ensues like what happened with McDonald's debuting Rick and Morty's szechuan sauce. On a more favorable note, fans can anticipate an audio commentary track from director Shawn Levy and Ryan Reynolds when the film premieres on Disney+.
As stated earlier, this Deadpool & Logan endeavor isn't just an R-rated Marvel movie but also the most financially successful R-rated film of all time. With a record-breaking total, it surpassed the equally intense and action-packed Keanu Reeves flick, John Wick: Chapter 4. The film's streaming release date is just around the corner, following its digital and home video releases, which achieved another record for being the highest-grossing R-rated movie on digital. Let's see if it claims a third record-breaking title in the streaming service category.
