Deadpool & Wolverine fans catch ‘worst’ CGI glitch in key scene – but miss clue that it is ‘part of the joke’
DEADPOOL & Wolverine fans believe they’ve spotted a “terrible” graphic glitch in the new movie – though some wonder whether it may have been deliberate.
The Marvel movie starring Ryan Reynolds and Hugh Jackman as the two titular characters has made waves in the box office, landing at number one for two weeks.
Its opening weekend scored $211million in the US, making it the highest-grossing R-rated movie of all-time domestically.
In the UK and Ireland, the film’s first weekend earned £17.26million.

While the superhero movie has been a hit among cinema-goers some have hit out at Marvel’s CGI.
A viral TikTok video claims the studio “forgot to patch this CGI”.
The scene in question shows Deadpool spin his blades and it magically goes through Wolverine’s arm as if it’s not there.
“Don’t get me wrong, I love the Deadpool trilogy but it probably has the worst cgi out of recent marvel movies,” one user reacted.
“Wolverine is like a game character on this scene,” another wrote.
“Glad I wasn’t the only one who noticed,” a third added.
But others have pointed out that the seeming error might actually be intentional and slammed critics for “nitpicking”.
They say the CGI fail may have been left on purpose as Deadpool talks about his terrible landing.
“That’s the point they’re not tryna hide it deadpool made about 10 jokes about the budget,” one user responded.
“I think this was part of the joke, coz i remember deadpool saying sum about getting ppl to forget his landing,” another added.
“deadpool: where do you think all that budget went?” a third referenced.
‘DISPROPORTIONATE’ BODY
It’s not the first time the CGI in Deadpool & Wolverine has been put under the spotlight.
Fans accused Marvel of “bad CGI” in the trailer, saying Wolverine’s head and body looked disproportionate.
“Please zoom in Hugh Jackman’s face, bad CGI strikes again,” one user commented.
