Summary
The opening sequence of Marvel Studios’Deadpool & Wolverinecopied the best trick from 2014’sGuardians of the Galaxy, but made it even more entertaining.Deadpool & Wolverineintroduced Ryan Reynolds' Deadpool and Hugh Jackman’s Wolverine to theMCUin style, with an expansive storyline that addressed the history of both 20th Century Fox’sX-Menfranchise and the MCU itself. This included toying withWolverine’s emotional death at the end of 2017’sLogan- something Reynolds previously promised not to do.
Hugh Jackman portrayed a verydifferent version of Wolverine inDeadpool & Wolverine, with his original version from Fox’sX-Mentimeline remaining deceased after his battle against X-24 inLogan.After learning of Wolverine’s status as Earth-10005’s Anchor Being, however, Deadpool exhumed his body, hoping that his healing ability would have brought him back, allowing him to convince the Time Variance Authority to save his universe. He was soon proved wrong, butWolverine’s adamantium skeletoncame in handy when the TVA caught up to the Merc with a Mouth.
Deadpool & Wolverine & Guardians Of The Galaxy Both Opened With A Dance Sequence
Deadpool took on the TVA’s Minute Men inDeadpool & Wolverine’sopening moments, using Wolverine’s adamantium-laced bones as weapons to take down the entire troop. This brutal sequence formed the opening credit scene forDeadpool & Wolverine.Set to the tune of NSYNC’s 2000 hit “Bye Bye Bye,” Deadpool’s violent attack was spliced with scenes of the Merc with a Mouth dancing hilariously. This copied 2014’sGuardians of the Galaxy, as the opening credit sequence of James Gunn’s MCU debut also featured a dance montage.
Ten years ago, Chris Pratt’s Peter Quill burst onto Morag to claim the Power Stone while dancing to the tune of Redbone’s “Come and Get Your Love” from 1973.Both of these sequences inGuardians of the GalaxyandDeadpool & Wolverinemarked strong debuts for these respective characters in the MCU, and have become two of the franchise’s most beloved and viral moments. However, whileGuardians of the Galaxy’sopening dance scenewas fantastic,Deadpool & Wolverinemanaged to pull it off much better.

What Made Deadpool & Wolverine’s Dance Sequence Better Than Guardians Of The Galaxy’s?
Guardians of the Galaxyopening credit sequence is one of the MCU’s most memorable scenes, immediately giving us insight into Peter Quill’s fun-loving and goofy personality. However,Deadpool & Wolverinetook this to the extreme, as Deadpool pulled off the exact dance moves that NSYNC used in performances of “Bye Bye Bye.“Deadpool & Wolverine’sdance scene was far stronger, as professional dancer Nick Pauley donned the Deadpool suit to break it down to “Bye Bye Bye.”
Hiring a professional dancer to pull off these moves inDeadpool & Wolverinewas a fantastic choice, as it made this sequence much cleaner and more impactful than Chris Pratt’s unchoreographed grooving to “Come and Get Your Love” inGuardians of the Galaxy.Pratt’s Star-Lordseemed to just move to the music at will, but Deadpool’s embrace of the real dance moves was far more entertaining. While Nick Pauley was in the suit, you can imagine Deadpool himself knowing all the moves to “Bye Bye Bye,” so this truly set the mood for the rest of the Phase 5 movie.
