## Summary

Disney says Deadpool & Wolverine cost $556.8 million to make before tax credits, making it Marvel Studios’ most expensive film. The disclosure matters because it shows how production disruptions drove up costs, even for a film that became a major commercial success.

The 2023 strikes paused filming, while shooting in the UK brought more than $110 million in tax credits, reducing the net cost to $446.1 million. The film earned $1.34 billion worldwide and was the first Marvel Studios release since the pandemic to pass $1 billion; Avengers: Endgame is estimated to have cost up to $400 million.
