It's official – Deadpool and Wolverine has beaten Joker to become the biggest R-rated movie ever. 

Marvel celebrated the news with a fun video, which you can check out below. Naturally, Ryan Reynolds responded in the most Ryan Reynolds way possible: "Now imagine if Hugh had done full frontal. With the cowl on of course."

Come again? 👂 #DeadpoolAndWolverine is the #1 R-Rated movie of all time ❤️💛 pic.twitter.com/fw568fOOp1August 16, 2024

Hugh Jackman doesn't go full frontal in the movie, but he does have a dramatic shirtless scene that the internet has certainly been enjoying.

Deadpool and Wolverine's box office currently stands at over $1 billion: Joker grossed $1.079 billion. 

It's no surprise that Deadpool and Wolverine has done so well at the box office, of course – the film was highly anticipated, billed as Marvel's course correction after a disappointing Marvel Phase 4 and Marvel Phase 5 (so far), and it's a multiversal extravaganza, with the Deadpool and Wolverine cameos including everyone from Chris Evans as Johnny Storm to Wesley Snipes as Blade.

However, Joker: Folie à Deux is arriving in October, with Lady Gaga joining the cast as Lee, a version of Harley Quinn. It's possible the follow-up could nab the box office crown back from the Merc with the Mouth, but we'll just have to wait and see. 

Deadpool and Wolverine is in theaters now.
