'Logan,' both 'Deadpool' movies arrive on Disney+
Two of some of the only mainstream R-rated superhero movies, "Logan" and both "Deadpool" films, arrived on Disney+ today.
It's fitting that both Hugh Jackman's final film in the "X-Men" series, the Oscar-nominated "Logan," is joining the streaming service alongside Ryan Reynolds' red-suited "Merc with the Mouth."
On screen, Deadpool's frenemy relationship with Wolverine mirrors that of Reynolds and his pal Jackman's one-upmanship online.
In fact, the opening of "Deadpool 2" shows the character winding up a toy immortalizing Jackman's death scene from "Logan."
Thanks to some creative editing, the two characters even share an after-credits scene in that movie, when Deadpool goes back in time and executes Reynolds' poorly executed original incarnation of the character, as seen in the widely panned "X-Men Origins: Wolverine."
"Big fan," he tells Jackman's razor-clawed hero.
The Disney+ pairing didn't escape Reynolds in real life, as the actor posted about it on Instagram.
"Logan" and the "Deadpool" movies will be made available thanks to parental controls that were installed when Disney+ acquired the mature-rated Netflix hero shows, including "Daredevil," "Luke Cage" and "Jessica Jones."
A subscription to Disney+ costs $7.99 per month or $79.99 per year, and a bundle consisting of Disney+, Hulu and ESPN+ costs $13.99 per month.
Disney is the parent company of ABC News.
