Deadpool and Wolverine is set to be one the biggest movies of the year, uniting two of the most popular superheroes in cinema for a story that's set to alter the timeline of the Marvel Cinematic Universe as we know it.
Ryan Reynolds returns as the Merc with a Mouth, and he’s about to decimate the fourth wall in a threequel that officially brings him into the MCU on TVA duty. He’ll be joined by Hugh Jackman who returns as Wolverine, but not as we know him. This adamantium-clawed variant sports the comics-accurate yellow supersuit and an angrier attitude than ever. With Wade Wilson as the unlikely ‘Marvel Jesus’, there’s a hell of a lot at stake here for the MCU.
Inside the new issue of Total Film, Reynolds and Jackman talk about reuniting again in the film that’s set to rip up the rulebook. Plus, director Shaun Levy and executive producer Wendy Jacobson talk about bringing Deadpool into his MCU era.
Elsewhere in this issue, you’ll also find Eli Roth talking about his new videogame adaptation, Borderlands; Kevin Costner and his cast on epic western revival Horizon: An American Saga - Chapter 1; Natalie Portman on Star Wars, Marvel and her dark new TV series, Lady in the Lake; Matt Damon on his latest team-up with Doug Liman; The Blair Witch Project at 25, with insights from director Eduardo Sánchez and a crop of contemporary horror directors; and loads more, including all the news, reviews and regulars you expect.

Deadpool and Wolverine cover story
Deadpool is back and he’s now a bona fide member of the MCU with Wolverine along for the ride. Total Film speaks to friends from work Ryan Reynolds, Hugh Jackman and director Shawn Levy about joining the big leagues, resurrecting Wolverine, and how Deadpool may be Marvel’s messiah but he’s still a very naughty boy…
The making of Horizon
After a 21-year hiatus, Kevin Costner returns to the director’s chair for Horizon: An American Saga, an epic self-funded western that he plans to take across four films. As the first two chapters land, Total Film meets the iconic star and his cast to discuss the bloody birth of a nation.
Ti West and Mia Goth on MaXXXine
With X and Pearl, Ti West cemented his place as one of modern cinema’s great horror filmmakers. Now he completes the trilogy with the epic MaXXXine, set in 80s Los Angeles. Total Film talks to West and stars Mia Goth and Elizabeth Debicki about fame, feminism and the wisdom of inserting real-life serial killer ‘The Night Stalker’ into the action…
The Instigators interviews
Twenty-two years after The Bourne Identity, Matt Damon and Doug Liman reunite on The Instigators, a Midnight Run-inspired action comedy about two wannabe criminals failing upwards. Total Film joins the Bourne-again duo, as well as co-stars Casey Affleck and Hong Chau, for the heist-gone-wrong of the century.
The Blair Witch Project at 25
Twenty-five years ago, The Blair Witch Project terrified everyone - including its co-director, Eduardo Sánchez. The monster hit continues to cast a long shadow over his career, as he dives deep on his found-footage trailblazer, passing on J.J. Abrams and how he finally freed himself from its ‘curse’.
Natalie Portman career interview
Natalie Portman has already amassed a three-decade body of work that includes awards glory, billion-dollar blockbusters and searing character work, but don’t expect her to rest on her laurels. She tells Total Film about starring in and producing Lady in the Lake, the Apple TV+ series that provides the latest complex showcase for her work, and the path that's led her here.
Borderlands and more
In the front section, Teasers, Eli Roth tells Total Film about his wild video-game adaptation, Borderlands. Plus, new looks at The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power Season 2, Cobra Kai Season 6 and much more.
