THE SUPER-ODD COUPLE

Wade Wilson goes by many names: Deadpool, The Merc with a Mouth, The Regenerating Degenerate and now… Marvel Jesus. Not only is he the self-proclaimed messiah and saviour of the MCU, but he has also performed his own miracle – the resurrection of Hugh Jackman’s Wolverine.

Deadpool & Wolverine director Shawn Levy admits that – post strikes and alongside a widely reported epidemic of superhero fatigue meaning it’s the only comic-book film of the summer – positioning Deadpool as the potential saviour of the MCU has particular resonance. ‘I would love to take credit for those parallels,’ Levy tells Total Film. ‘Some we absolutely intend, but some are coincidences, and we came up with “Marvel Jesus” two years ago.’ But Levy isn’t concerned that people won’t show up for future MCU instalments: ‘People love to get on bandwagons whether they’re positive, but frankly even more when they’re negative.’

Six years after Deadpool 2, we are reacquainted with our crimson-suited hero. He’s proving to be useless at selling cars, hawking Blind Al’s (Leslie Uggams) bloodpressure meds to make rent, and his beloved Vanessa (Morena Baccarin) has a new boyfriend. But despite insisting to his pal Peter (Rob Delaney) that he’s over the whole superhero thing, when the Time Variance Authority come a-knockin’, after just a few minutes with Matthew Macfadyen’s TVA agent Paradox explaining how he is needed to protect the Sacred Timeline, Deadpool can’t resist stepping up to the plate with a joyful, ‘Suck it, Fox, I’m going to Disneyland!’

Back With a Vengeance - Sir Ridley Scott returns to the Colosseum with Gladiator II, the long-awaited sequel to the greatest historical epic of this century. Total Film meets the director and cast to discover how Maximus' legacy is echoing in eternity.

Ridley Scott is not a filmmaker to repeat himself. It's a trait that's all the more remarkable when you consider how prolific he's been over the nearly five decades since his feature debut, 1977's The Duellists. Alien prequels Prometheus and Alien: Covenant are the only times he's gone back to the same world, and those films are radical departures from the original.

Bad Romance - Timestalker Alice Lowe falls in love with the wrong man time and time again...

Her antidote to that? Timestalker a dark not-quite-romcom set over the course of centuries. Her protagonist Agnes finds herself attracted to the same man, Alex (Dunkirk's Aneurin Barnard), in every lifetime as she's reincarnated in the 1680s, 1790s, 1980s and the 22nd century. As romantic as that may sound, there's a bit of a catch: 'He's sort of a dickhead. On the surface he's appealing, but under, he's not.'
