Deadpool & Wolverine as a film has allowed both titular heroes to reach the third and fourth spot in the total box office gross for each Marvel character, replacing Iron Man. Notably, for Deadpool, this was done with only three movies, resulting in an average of $865 million gross per film for the hero. This is higher than Thor’s $676 million per film and is an especially incredible achievement for an R-rated franchise. While Spider-Man has still made more money overall as one of Marvel’s most popular characters, future films may allow Deadpool to overtake this spot.

Iron man 1 was a lot better than D&W. Not saying the latter wasn’t good, cuz it was a fun movie. It’s just not iron man 1.
Edit. I realize it’s going by franchise now. Yeah, sadly only 1 was a good iron man movie out of the three. Deadpool has been pretty consistent.
Wait, is it including avengers movies for each character?
It’s based on titular character films.
Ok cool, thanks. Looks about right then. It’s crazy how much Thor turned around.
