Hannah Fidell has quickly become one of the faces to watch in independent film, her naturalistic style of filmmaking and ability to get the best of our her actors and shepherd improvised scenes creates characters and movies you want to root for.
Full Review | Original Score: 5/5 | Feb 26, 2016
The euphoria and anguish of first love has been captured in countless films, but few do it with the level of raw authenticity and intimacy as 6 Years.
Full Review | Original Score: B | Feb 23, 2016
It gives shape to the anxiety and emotional tumult that comes with maturation and the struggle to hold a relationship together after irreparable fissures have already started to form.
Full Review | Sep 14, 2015
Indie romance has domestic violence, lots of sex, drinking.
Full Review | Original Score: 2/5 | Aug 26, 2015
...a film worth watching, one that depicts young love in all its toxic and swooning glory.
Full Review | Original Score: 7.5/10 | Aug 26, 2015
6 Years has universal appeal in spades, two lovely lead performances and a whole lot of truth.
Full Review | Aug 21, 2015
Next time out, Fidell needs to find some kind of midrange between A Teacher's outré leanings and 6 Years' conventionality.
Full Review | Original Score: 2.5/5 | Aug 20, 2015
[6 Years] too often veers toward melodramatic overstatement, inspiring little empathy or understanding despite the committed performances of promising young leads Taissa Farmiga and Ben Rosenfield.
Full Review | Aug 18, 2015
A melodrama benefitting from excellent performances but suffering from a too-obvious script.
[The two leads'] heartbreaking performances imbue this familiar Austin-set narrative with a fiery edge.
Full Review | Original Score: B | Aug 18, 2015
There is enough in 6 Years from Farmiga and Rosenfield's performances to warrant a watch, and Fidell's ideas and subtle developments around such a challenging story are heartfelt and mostly well-rendered.

10 Movies With a 100% Rotten Tomatoes Score on Netflix Right Now (July 2024)
In ‘longlegs,' nicolas cage destroys our expectations of serial killers — and him, the true story behind 'overboard' is darker and more disturbing than you'd expect.
Relationships can have some serious highs and lows and writer-director Hannah Fidell digs deep into both ends of the spectrum in her third feature, 6 Years . Ben Rosenfield and Taissa Farmiga lead as Dan and Mel. They’ve known each other since they were kids, have been dating for six years and plan on building a life together in Austin after graduation. However, when Dan is given the opportunity to turn his internship into a full-time job in New York, their rock solid, loving relationship starts to fall apart.
Fidell made an especially strong impression with her SXSW 2013 award-winning film, A Teacher , so I couldn’t help but to walk into 6 Years expecting something similar. However, that’s not the case whatsoever. Perhaps it’s growth as a filmmaker or just Fidell flexing her muscles, but whatever you want to call it, 6 Years proves she’s a strong director with some serious range who can take material, highlight the heart and humanity in it, and turn it into a meaningful experience.
Whether you’ve been in a longterm relationship or not, you can’t help but to connect with Dan and Mel because their feelings for one another are so palpable. Mere minutes into the film, you’re convinced that they’re truly meant to be together. Fidell is a little heavy-handed when it comes to teasing the things that are about to test their relationship, but, then again, it is a movie. You know it’s going to happen the moment you walk into the theater and the film opens with an idyllic montage of Dan and Mel spending a wonderful day together. However, having a sense of what’s coming doesn’t make watching things fall apart any easier.
Not for a second do you ever doubt their love, but Fidell, Rosenfield and Farmiga do an exceptional job of delivering two different perspectives on the same relationship and then playing with how they affect one another. It quickly becomes apparent that Mel needs Dan a bit more than he needs her, but the film doesn’t just leave it at that. Despite what Dan’s mother says, it isn’t as cut and dry as just going with what’s best for his future. No matter what he decides, Mel’s going to be with him - either by his side or weighing on his mind. You’re rooting for him to take the job and live his dream, but you’re also hoping that they stick together and the constant back and forth keeps you engaged and invested from start to finish.
![movie review for 6 years 2015 6-years-ben-rosenfield-taissa-farmiga](https://static1.colliderimages.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2015/03/6-years-ben-rosenfield-taissa-farmiga-600x400.jpg)
Whereas A Teacher pairs its very serious relationship conundrum with a more muted palette, 6 Years is absolutely brimming with color and it gives the material a welcomed youthful buoyancy. Mel and Dan get into serious and even dangerous arguments, but Fidell manages to subtlety convey that even though their relationship may seem like the be all, end all right now, they’re still just kids and they have their whole lives ahead of them, and that little bit of hope is vital to the entertainment value of the film.
Mel and Dan are very bright, warm people, but they have darker moments as well. He’s weak-willed and she’s got a habit of throwing violent tantrums. It’d be easy for the film to get swallowed up by the all too familiar young adult entitlement, but thanks to Farmiga and Rosenfield’s layered performances, their behavior, even the worst of it, is justified. It certainly isn’t easy watching Dan take steps closer to giving into temptation or to see Mel sink into a deep depression, but between Farmiga and Rosenfield’s wholehearted work and Fidell’s dead-on visual choices, 6 Years does wind up being a worthwhile, thoughtful exploration of the disintegration of a loving relationship.

SXSW Film Review: ‘6 Years’
Taissa Farmiga and Ben Rosenfield give committed performances ill served by writer-director Hannah Fidell's overly melodramatic approach.

![movie review for 6 years 2015 6 Years Review](https://variety.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/03/6-years_still1.jpg?w=1000&h=667&crop=1)
Having explored an illicit affair between a high-school instructor and student in “A Teacher,” writer-director Hannah Fidell focuses on a doomed relationship of a rather more banal (if age-appropriate) sort in “ 6 Years .” Although shot and performed in a determinedly raw, naturalistic register, this emotionally roiling portrait of two twentysomething Texas sweethearts too often veers toward melodramatic overstatement, inspiring little empathy or understanding despite the committed performances of promising young leads Taissa Farmiga and Ben Rosenfield. The backing of exec producers Mark and Jay Duplass will draw a measure of attention, but not enough to distinguish this low-budget effort in the indie marketplace.
Staggering home drunk one night from a party, Mel (Farmiga) awakens her boyfriend, Dan (Rosenfield), their groggy banter suddenly exploding into an argument; the scuffle that ensues leaves Dan with a bump on the head, and Mel aghast and apologetic. They’re quick to make up, but the incident foreshadows still messier times ahead for two people who have been together for six years — a milestone that seems to inspire more incredulity than respect among their friends and acquaintances. We learn that these Austin natives have known each other most of their lives, but their steadfast devotion to each other is beginning to give way to gnawing dissatisfaction and uncertainty, especially as they’re just starting to figure out what they want to do with themselves: Dan is an intern at a record label, while Mel is an aspiring schoolteacher.

Initially it seems to be a mere matter of their not really liking each other’s friends — though it’s hard to see why, given that Dan, Mel and their respective circles don’t seem to have too many unique interests beyond hanging out, getting wasted, and talking about sex with the sort of strained forthrightness that feels more like a screenwriter’s affectation than anything else. Something similar might be said of the moment when Dan, left alone at a party, impulsively kisses his flirtatious co-worker Amanda (Lindsay Burdge, “A Teacher”), a mistake that will have startlingly ugly consequences for him and Mel — including a night spent in jail, an embittered separation, a narrowly averted crisis, an impulsive betrayal, and several more angry, harrowing confrontations. All this cranked-up turmoil coincides with the arrival of an unexpected job opportunity outside Austin for Dan — a plausible enough development that, under less contrived circumstances, would have been more than enough to prompt the characters toward a thoughtful, poignant reconsideration of their relationship.
Popular on Variety
Fidell has a fondness for hurling the viewer directly into the action. Just as “A Teacher” began with its taboo relationship well under way, so “6 Years” picks up near the end of its eponymous time frame: Avoiding flashbacks to happier times for Mel and Dan, the script instead employs brief snippets of exposition to fill in the necessary background. It’s a jagged, stripped-down approach, especially compared with the more full-bodied storytelling of similar-themed dramas like “Blue Valentine,” “Like Crazy” and “The Disappearance of Eleanor Rigby,” and with the right finesse, this slender 80-minute feature might well have achieved an impressive balance of narrative economy and bracing forward momentum.
But “6 Years” simply doesn’t have the skill to do more with less. Scene after scene, the writing strikes continually clunky notes; even a simple sequence in which Dan discusses his future with his mother (Dana Wheeler-Nicholson), who’s concerned that he might be putting his career on hold for his girlfriend’s sake, feels too obvious by half. Mel’s family, meanwhile, is briefly mentioned but left offscreen, adding to the sense of a story that’s missing a crucial element of context; there’s too little insight into the past and far too much overheated angst in the present.
Farmiga and Rosenfield (“A Most Violent Year”) achieve some of their most natural and moving moments early on, when Dan and Mel are basking in the glow of their as-yet-unspoiled affection, or nervously discussing the possibility of using porn to spice up their sex life. Throughout, the actors are always believable as young lovers slowly realizing they may have committed themselves too soon, and “6 Years” does mine some poignancy from the tension between the life Mel and Dan have long envisioned for themselves, and the possibilities they never thought to consider. To really dramatize that tension, however, would require a more delicate touch than is evinced here.
Farmiga, as luminous and expressive as her older sister Vera, is a galvanic screen presence even when she’s reduced to repeating soap-opera dialogue like “How could you do this to me?!” But at a certain point, she and Rosenfield seem to be leaping over narrative hurdles rather than persuasively inhabiting their characters’ emotional confusion, and Dan and Mel aren’t well defined enough to stand out against the film’s overly familiar backdrop of booze, lust and bad decision making. Andrew Droz Palermo’s handheld widescreen lensing of moodily understated Austin locations lends the drama a fittingly rough-and-ragged texture, but even within the unvarnished aesthetic, the editing choices tend toward the overly abrupt (none more so than the final cut to black), particularly when juxtaposed with the jarring eruptions of upbeat music on the soundtrack.

![movie review for 6 years 2015 6 Years](https://www.eyeforfilm.co.uk/images/newsite/6-years_600.jpg)
Melanie (Taissa Farmiga) and Dan (Ben Rosenfield) have been together for six years. They're both in their twenties so that feels like a very long time; indeed, the average length of a marriage in the US today is eight years. Melanie and Dan are not married - they don't even share a home - but they spend almost all their time together and they've made plans together, plans set to encompass a whole lifetime. When things suddenly start to go awry, it's a shock to them both.
It begins abruptly, with a drunken argument. We've seen Melanie at a party, drinking heavily, thoughtlessly driving back to Dan's place. Initially happy to see her, he freaks out when he realises the risk she's taken. She gets angry in response and tries to leave, to get back into the car, so he restrains her; then she pushes him. Later, in the emergency room, a nurse politely asks how it happened. "I tripped," he says. Her expression, though obliquely glimpsed, tells us that's an answer she hears too often.
![movie review for 6 years 2015 Copy picture](https://www.eyeforfilm.co.uk/images/stills/0/6_years_2015_1.jpg)
Despite this potentially damning incident, there are no straightforward good guys or bad guys in this film. Even when, at a later stage, Melanie is assaulted by somebody else, it's not entirely clear what the assailant thought he was doing. She doesn't chide the friend who left her in a dangerous situation - they were both drunk, these things happen. There's that happy-go-lucky approach that young people take, not expecting very much of each other and often, as a consequence, not being very happy at all.
This carelessness, often from people who do care, sees small incidents and accidents spiral outward until nobody seems able to control the consequences. Both young protagonists are intensely self-centred and struggle to identify the things they might do to repair their faltering communication. Farmiga is superb as Melanie, plunging viewers into a world of pain, desperate to hold onto Dan as he finds himself drawn away from her by work prospects and his unexpected attraction to another woman. He's frightened by Melanie's neediness, unaware of his own need because he's never been tested. The audience is carried along on a rollercoaster ride; everything these young people do makes complete sense but, at the same time, no sense at all.
Hannah Fidell's script shows the same sharp insight she brought to A Teacher , continually telling us more about the characters than they know about themselves. Its astutely managed ambiguities lead us into uncomfortable territory and sometimes verge on the political, especially when we see how others respond to physical expressions of disharmony between the couple. Can there be any way back from here, even if Melanie and Dan really love each other? Do they love each other, or are they simply in the habit of expecting to?
6 Years is perhaps the smartest exploration of youthful romance that you'll see this year. Both lead actors are superb, delivering painfully naturalistic performances, and Fidell just keeps getting better, leaving one eager to see what she'll do next.

Parents need to know that 6 Years is an indie romance about college love that's definitely not for kids. Sex and relationships are the main themes, and there are multiple sex scenes, a lot of talk about sex, and a short pornography clip that shows full-female nudity. Profanity abounds, with "f--k" and "s--t"…
Positive Messages
Decisions you make can affect the rest of your life, so you should think them through so you don't live with regret. Drinking to excess can lead to dangerous consequences.
Positive Role Models
Not a lot of role models here. Mel is abusive and destructive, though she does try to do what's best for Dan in the end. Everyone drinks too much and behaves badly while drunk.
Violence & Scariness
Mel shoves, hits, and throws things at Dan when she's drunk, causing him to hit his head, step on broken glass. A guy attempts to sleep with a girl when she's drunk enough to almost be unconscious.

Parents Need to Know
Parents need to know that 6 Years is an indie romance about college love that's definitely not for kids. Sex and relationships are the main themes, and there are multiple sex scenes, a lot of talk about sex, and a short pornography clip that shows full-female nudity. Profanity abounds, with "f--k" and "s--t" used liberally. Drinking is featured heavily, with the main character drinking to the point of getting sick and driving while drunk. There are some disturbing scenes of domestic violence where the main character hits and shoves her boyfriend while drunk, causing him to hit his head and step on broken glass. A guy attempts to sleep with a girl when she's drunk enough to almost be unconscious. To stay in the loop on more movies like this, you can sign up for weekly Family Movie Night emails .

Worst movie ive ever seen
Interesting...., what's the story.
Mel ( Taissa Farmiga ) and Dan ( Ben Rosenfield ), almost college graduates, have been together since high school. To the amazement of their friends, the two are still in love after six years and are planning their lives together once they get out of school. But when Dan starts getting closer to his music-industry coworkers, especially his boss Amanda (Lindsay Burdge), and Mel's drinking starts to get out of control, their relationship takes a dark turn that neither of them expects.
Is It Any Good?
Although Farmiga and Rosenfield do an admirable job of portraying two people in the midst of emotional crisis, this tense romance too often delves into melodrama to be a great film. There's also too much time spent showing the two leads drinking with their friends and not enough time spent developing their relationship, leaving the viewer wondering why Dan was with Mel in the first place. The film does a good job of showing the consequences of excessive drinking, especially paired with the heightened emotions of youth and inexperience. But it mostly serves up a lot of tension with no real resolution or point.
Although parents may appreciate the underlying message to not jump to conclusions and that abuse isn't always inflicted by men, this is probably not a movie they'd want their teens watching. And adults may be dissatisfied by the melodramatic dialogue and lack of character development.

Distances itself from other flawed relationship narratives with excellent acting and a subversion of gender roles.
In her previous film, A Teacher , writer-director Hannah Fidell examined the unconventional affair between a high-school teacher and her student. The filmmaker continues her focus on forbidden relationships in 6 Years when a long-term romance gets tested by betrayal and a new job opportunity. With an improvised script, small-name actors, and a naturalistic relationship, it’s no surprise that indie gods Mark and Jay Duplass were executive producers on the film.
It’s challenging to demonstrate years worth of chemistry, inside banter, and the subtle cadence between two people accurately on film; Fidell doesn’t seem to have that problem here. The two leads, Dan ( Ben Rosenfield ) and Mel ( Taissa Farmiga ), portray convincing soulmates who’ve grown up together since childhood and have been dating for six years. They have the kind of relationship that can sense something is wrong from just a tiny inflection in each others voice. And they can easily tell when the other has had too much to drink, regardless of how much the other tries to deny it.
As young college students tend to do, the couple takes full advantage of their freedom and lack of responsibility by spending most of their time drinking and partying with friends. One night a boozed up Mel visits Dan and tries to get frisky with him. But the mood is killed when an argument breaks out after Dan discovers she drove in this condition. A vocal argument turns physical and puts Dan in the hospital with some minor injuries (a gender role reversal in domestic disputes that’s rarely shown in films).
Dan isn’t portrayed as a saint either. Like many troubled relationships, both parties are guilty of making mistakes of their own. Over some beers one night, Dan leans over and kisses his female co-worker (Lindsay Burdge, in a somewhat reprised role from A Teacher ). He realizes his mistake right away and stops before anything else happens. But the damage unfolds a few scenes later when Mel borrows his phone and finds a text message that exposes his incident.
There are a few scenes in 6 Years that feel a bit cliche. In two different parts in the film, the couple inadvertently walk in on each other in various sexual situations; Dan needs to borrow Mel’s laptop and finds she was watching porn (another refreshing gender role reversal) and Mel conveniently catches Dan sleeping with someone else. But these few melodramatic spots in the script are overshadowed by stunning performances from Rosenfield and Farmiga. Rosenfield channels his inner Mark Duplass, capturing his introverted and down-to-earth mannerisms, while Farmiga brings a lot of energy and passion to a less desirable role as the “manipulative one.”
6 Years captures what a long-term relationship feels like when it nears the breaking point. First love is a powerful beast, but its fate is often doomed from failing to accept that sometimes ending a relationship is better than trying to stick it out. Fidell illustrates this powerful realization in the final emotional scene of uncertainty. It’s heartbreaking. 6 Years distances itself from other flawed relationship narratives with its excellent acting and fresh take on gender roles.
6 Years Movie review
![movie review for 6 years 2015 movie review for 6 years 2015](https://www.comingsoon.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/3/2023/06/comingsoon_image_place_holder_r01.png?w=1024)
‘6 Years’ (2015) Movie Review
By Mike Shutt
It’s a tough task to portray a couple in a long term relationship on screen. People who have been together for an extended period of time have a different kind of rhythm than those who have just met or are still figuring each other out, and chances are the actors portraying the long term couple in a movie have just met recently. So, when I see a believable long term couple in a movie, it’s a unique accomplishment. 6 Years , the latest film from director Hannah Fidell , has nothing to worry about when it comes to that, as Taissa Farmiga ‘s Mel and Ben Rosenfield ‘s Dan totally sell the idea these two have been together for the titular amount of time. They even elevate the material as it slips into melodrama territory, though most of the film exhibits an honest look at a breakup.
Dan and Mel are a couple of college students at the University of Texas. He is currently an intern at a record company and really likes his job and the people there, particularly Amanda ( Lindsay Burdge ). Mel is a little less set in her ways, focusing on just getting through her academics. They are coming up on six years together, as they started dating when they were teenagers growing up next door to one another. One night Mel comes over to Dan’s house completely drunk (so much drinking in this movie). He berates her for how stupid it is to drive drunk, and she isn’t having any of it. The two have a rather physical fight and she shoves him into a dresser, bashing the back of his head against a corner. This is the beginning of the end.
I wish there had been less big moments like that. If you put in too many, you sort of get a cause and effect approach to a breakup rather than just a parting of two people. It is not merely one thing that makes two people split. It is a build up of small things overtime and one uses a big moment as the final nail in the coffin. Up until that point, we have not seen any problems with their relationship. Yes, the moment is shocking, but we do not know how much more is behind it.
There are things one could consider a big moment that felt more organic. Dan kissing Amanda at a party is one of those, but the moment plays much smaller than it easily could have. Rosenfield could have gotten up and started yelling at himself. Instead, him and Burdge play it like they are trying to stay as calm as they possibly can. Dan is yelling at himself on the inside, but we can easily see that in his eyes.
Even though Farmiga and Rosenfield are given bigger moments to play, the two manage to make them work. They have a phenomenal chemistry and a knack for saying the worst things to one another, but feeling awful about it while saying it. That being said, you can only say the worst/honest things of that nature to someone you love. In lesser actors’ hands, this could have been an overwrought mess of a film. Here, it’s still a bit melodramatic, but effective.
Director of photography Andrew Droz Palermo ‘s photography is terrific. It meshes the melodrama into a believable world seamlessly, yet adding heft to the look with the widescreen presentation. Small relationship dramas rarely have a unique look to them, and the muted look of Austin, Texas captured here is beautiful and effective.
6 Years leans a little too heavily on the big moments, but its actors are so damn good I can forgive a lot of the plot problems. When all is said and done, you still care immensely for this couple and want what is best for both of them, even if that means not being together. So, it has some missteps, but 6 Years is still quite good.

- "[It] too often veers toward melodramatic overstatement, inspiring little empathy or understanding despite the committed performances of promising young leads Taissa Farmiga and Ben Rosenfield" Justin Chang : Variety
- "Between Farmiga and Rosenfield’s wholehearted work and Fidell’s dead-on visual choices, '6 Years' does wind up being a worthwhile, thoughtful exploration of the disintegration of a loving relationship" Perri Nemiroff : Collider

Review by davidehrlich ★★★ 1
i enjoyed this for what it is (the everyone-over-25-knows-this-already story of disintegrating puppy love), but what the improvised approach gains in broad emotional authenticity it sacrifices in specificity... it's true that every romance only feels like it's being lived for the first time, but if the movie doesn't provide the immediacy of real life, that's not much of a consolation.

Deadpool & Wolverine Review: The MCU Multiverse Movie I've Been Waiting For
Deadpool 2's time travel makes no sense... but we're going to try and explain it, why josh brolin's cable doesn't return in deadpool & wolverine.
- Deadpool & Wolverine brings X-Men into MCU universe via multiverse, further complicating a convoluted timeline.
- The movie's main timeline places Deadpool in 2024, although there are several narrative jumps.
- Deadpool & Wolverine has profound implications for the MCU thanks to its time-travel-centric story.
Warning: This article contains spoilers for Deadpool & Wolverine Deadpool & Wolverine officially brought the titular heroes to the MCU and in doing so sparked the question of where they and their story fit into the timeline. The X-Men and mutants generally are now back under Marvel's purview after Disney's acquisition of Fox in 2019 transferred the movie rights back to Marvel. Since then, the MCU has debuted Fox's X-Men characters in cameos across several productions, with Kelsey Grammer's Beast cameo in The Marvels being the most recent. Still, it fell to Deadpool & Wolverine to bring these characters into the MCU fold in earnest.
The MCU's Multiverse Saga has thankfully provided the perfect narrative in which to do this. Now that multiple timelines and universes exist in the MCU , Fox's X-Men franchise has simply been designated as part of a universe separate from the MCU's Earth-616. Deadpool & Wolverine saw Deadpool encountering this new multiverse along with the TVA, an organization whose new directive is to maintain the multiverse and branching timelines. The movie, therefore, takes Deadpool on a somewhat mind-bending trip through several points in time and outside of it.
![movie review for 6 years 2015 Ryan Reynolds In Full Deadpool Costume With Hands Over Mouth Looking Shocked And Hugh Jackman As Wolverine Looking Disgusted In Deadpool & Wolverine](https://static1.srcdn.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2024/07/ryan-reynolds-in-full-deadpool-costume-with-hands-over-mouth-looking-shocked-and-hugh-jackman-as-wolverine-looking-disgusted-in-deadpool-wolverine.jpg)
Led by Ryan Reynolds and Hugh Jackman at the top of their superhero game, Deadpool & Wolverine is an absurd blast of a Marvel multiverse joyride.
When Deadpool & Wolverine's Earth-616 Avengers Scene Fits Into The MCU Timeline
Deadpool has already been to earth-616.
Deadpool & Wolverine begins with Deadpool exhuming the corpse of Logan in the timeline that houses Fox's X-Men, designated Earth-10005. He then explains how he got there with a flashback that saw him meeting with Happy Hogan in March 2018 in the MCU's Earth-616, AKA the Sacred Timeline. This appears to take place within Stark Industries, as paraphernalia from CEO Pepper Potts' office seen in Iron Man 3 can also be seen in various shots here.
Deadpool appears to have made it to this universe using Cable's time travel device . This lines up with the date in the scene as Deadpool 2 also took place in 2018, meaning the device would likely still have been in Wade's possession. His ability to hop to entirely different universes was also established at the end of Deadpool 2 as he can be seen killing X-Men Origins: Wolverine 's alternate Deadpool and Ryan Reynolds in the real world (designated Earth-1218 in Marvel continuity).
![movie review for 6 years 2015 Deadpool 2 Time Travel Explained](https://static1.srcdn.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2018/05/Deadpool-2-Time-Travel-Explained.jpg)
Deadpool 2 introduces time travel and, like much of the X-Men universe, it makes no sense. But we're going to try our best to make sense of it all!
Regardless, Deadpool's meeting with Happy ends in tragedy as his professed dream of becoming an Avenger is knocked back. Given this scene makes sure to establish the date as March 2018, it is apparent that the events of Avengers: Infinity War have not yet occurred, with the Black Order set to invade New York around two months later. Sometime after that, Wade Wilson returns to his own universe dejected and depressed, which leads to a leap in time.
Deadpool & Wolverine's Main Story Is Set 6 Years Later, In 2024
A title card reveals the time jump.
The majority of Deadpool & Wolverine takes place six years after Deadpool 2 , in 2024. This is established with a title card after Happy rejects Deadpool and Deadpool returns to his own universe. From there, Deadpool suffers six years of feelings of inadequacy, which leads him to drop the Deadpool mantle and the deterioration of his relationship with Vanessa. The flashback picks up with Deadpool living a mundane civilian life. Like most Marvel movies, the majority of the movie takes place in the same year that it was released.
![movie review for 6 years 2015 Why Josh Brolin Isnt In Deadpool and Wolverine](https://static1.srcdn.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2024/07/why-josh-brolin-isnt-in-deadpool-and-wolverine.jpg)
Josh Brolin's Cable was notably absent from Deadpool & Wolverine, but there are reasons behind the apparent ousting of the character in the sequel.
The MCU's most recent installments have taken place in 2026 but this is due to the five-year time jump that occurred at the beginning of Avengers: Endgame , taking the events from 2019 to 2024. This means that the events of Deadpool & Wolverine in Deadpool's universe happen concurrently with or close to the events of Avengers: Endgame in the MCU . Deadpool does not revisit Earth-616 after his meeting with Happy Hogan, though he comes relatively close after Mr. Paradox invites him to join for a " higher purpose " after being taken to the TVA.
Deadpool & Wolverine Is Set After Loki Season 2
The tva exists outside of time.
The time frame of Deadpool & Wolverine gets more confusing within the TVA. Mr. Paradox confirms that the events of Loki season 2 have occurred as the TVA is now concerned with nurturing the multiverse instead of pruning branches from the Sacred Timeline, as they were in Avengers: Endgame . He also introduces the concept of anchor beings, which are people whose deaths cause the destabilization and decay of the timelines in which they once lived - with Logan being the anchor of Deadpool's Earth-10005. This is why Deadpool's timeline is doomed, rather than the TVA intending to prune it.
Deadpool's timeline is doomed, but Paradox intends to speed the process along with a new TVA device called the Time Ripper, which draws parallels to Reset Charges introduced in Loki .
The TVA is operating under this new directive despite it being 2024 in Deadpool's timeline because the TVA operates outside of time . Loki season 2 established the multiverse, and the TVA has ostensibly operated in its new guise at every point in every timeline. Loki's resurrection of the multiverse at the end of Loki has therefore allowed the events of every X-Men movie to happen, and every event in each of those movies occurred with Loki holding their timeline together thanks to his actions in Loki season 2.
It is a similar case for the events of Deadpool & Wolverine that take place in the void. The void is a timeless nether realm that does not operate on any timeline, instead acting as a junkyard for pruned inhabitants of the multiverse. Most of the scenes in Deadpool & Wolverine therefore take place independently of any time frame on Deadpool's timeline or the Sacred Timeline. The litany of characters from Fox's Marvel franchises could have been pruned from any timeline, which also explains why some of them are portrayed by different actors.
When Deadpool & Wolverine Takes Place In Fox X-Men's Earth-10005 Universe
Deadpool's universe is the same as 10005's logan's.
...most of the events depicted in Fox's X-Men franchise have transpired by the time Deadpool & Wolverine shows Wade Wilson living his civilian life, but Logan - which takes place in 2029 - has not.
Mr. Paradox establishes that Logan's death in Logan has caused the deterioration of Deadpool's timeline. This confirms that Deadpool's universe is the same as Earth-10005's Logan's and the same as at least most of Fox's X-Men movies. With that in mind, Deadpool & Wolverine takes place in 2024 in Fox's X-Men's Earth-10005 . This means that most of the events depicted in Fox's X-Men franchise have transpired by the time Deadpool & Wolverine shows Wade Wilson living his civilian life, but Logan - which takes place in 2029 - has not.
Fox's X-Men movies have a notoriously convoluted timeline that was thrown into question following the events of X-Men: Days of Future Past . Every movie released after Days of Future Past is likely part of a new timeline which, in the context of the MCU's time travel rules and the multiverse of different realities/timelines, means it is a branched timeline after Wolverine changed the past. Whatever the case, this is the one where the Deadpool franchise and Logan also take place.
Logan established that, in 2029, no mutants had been born for 25 years, which still works with the Deadpool continuity as Firefist is 14 in 2018.
It can be deduced that Deadpool traveled to the future of his own timeline to exhume the corpse of Earth-10005's Logan. This also suggests that 2024, which is now where Deadpool & Wolverine 's Logan has settled, is now home to two Wolverine variants, as Logan 's Logan is also still alive. Suffice it to say, however, that the MCU has its work cut out to iron out the details of Earth-10005 should the mutants of this reality arise in a future MCU installment.

NEW YORK (AP) — The shades are on, the skinny tie is knotted and the fedora is perched just so — Dan Aykroyd is ready to look back.
The actor-comedian is revving up the Bluesmobile to reminisce about the years he teamed up with John Belushi as the Blues Brothers, taking Hollywood and the Billboard charts by storm.
Aykroyd writes and narrates the Audible Original “Blues Brothers: The Arc of Gratitude,” which starts with him meeting Belushi one freezing night in Toronto in 1973 and takes us to today, with gigs still lining up. The documentary drops Thursday.
“It’s cool to keep doing it after 40-some years,” Aykroyd says from his summer home in Canada. “It’s because it’s based on the honesty of African American culture and the music and two white guys who just loved it so much that we had to emulate it and do it in this way.”
The documentary traces their appearances on “SNL” and their breakthrough album “Briefcase Full of Blues” to the 1980 movie and its hit soundtrack, the death of Belushi and Aykroyd’s commitment to carry on the tradition with a new partner — Belushi’s brother, Jim — with the creation of House of Blues nightclubs and the “Blues Brothers 2000” movie sequel.
The two-hour lookback includes interviews with Jim Belushi, band leader Paul Shaffer, singer Curtis Salgado, director John Landis, drummer Steve Jordan, widow Judy Belushi Pisano , saxophonist Lou Marini and more, as well as a previously unheard interview with John Belushi himself.

“I provided the structural skeleton to a lot of really strong organic material there,” says Aykroyd. “I think it really brought back the time vividly.”
Listeners will learn that “SNL” creator and producer Lorne Michaels wasn’t a fan of the fictional brothers’ act and that their rise was something of a disruption for record labels and movie studios. Key moments came when Willie Nelson and then Steve Martin invited them as opening acts.
The concept was admittedly a little odd: Two white comedians fronting a first-rate blues band with the express purpose of celebrating a musical form that had grown dusty.
The Blues Brothers — Aykroyd’s Elwood and Belushi’s “Joliet” Jake — wore black suits and black string ties inspired by comedian Lenny Bruce and snap-brim fedora hats and shades borrowed from the album cover of John Lee Hooker’s “House of the Blues.”
Aykroyd says in the audio documentary that the pair saw an opportunity for something fresh, fun and classic “in that tiny orbital skip of an electron during the seconds between disco and New Wave.”
After successful turns on “SNL,” — first as a warm-up act then as performers — they released an album “Briefcase Full of Blues” — with the hit cover “Soul Man” — and then a cult movie as the pair lead police, some Nazis and a furious country act on spectacular chases through Illinois to raise $5,000 to save their childhood home. It had cameos by Carrie Fisher, Chaka Khan, Twiggy, Joe Walsh, Paul Reubens and Frank Oz.
Listeners will learn that one of the most memorable lines was a collaboration. Aykroyd wrote “It’s 106 miles to Chicago. We’ve got a full tank of gas, half a pack of cigarettes.” Landis added: “It’s dark and we’re wearing sunglasses. Hit it.”
The movie was also filled to the brim with blues stars — like Donald “Duck” Dunn, Steve Cropper, Matt Murphy — and performances by Aretha Franklin, James Brown and Ray Charles, who were struggling through fallow periods.
“You may say appropriation. We did, yes, but we preserved as well,” says Aykroyd. “That is what we were always about. We wanted, forever on film, to show you what these artists could do and what they sounded like.”
But exhibitors in the South — particularly Alabama, Mississippi, Louisiana, Florida and Georgia — balked. “The consensus was, by these guys, ‘‘This is a Black movie and no white people would see it,’” Landis recalls. “I remember going, ‘It has Princess Leia in it!’”
Ultimately, the Blues Brothers — the films, records, skits and music venues — helped fill jukeboxes across the globe with classics and revived the careers of Franklin, Brown and Charles, creating a new love for the blues.
“I’m happy that, we were able to re-stimulate interest in these people that we loved,” says Aykroyd, who cites dancing with Brown, singing with Little Richard and acting with Franklin as career highlights.
He and Jim Belushi still tour — including an upcoming gig this August at Blues Brothers Con at the historic Joliet Prison in Illinois — and Aykroyd sees the venture as like a law firm.
“Jake and Elwood founded it. And now it’s got new partners and new associates. It has great endurance. The reason is because the music is real. The songs are real.”

Who plays Deadpool, Wolverine and Ladypool in 'Deadpool and Wolverine'? See full cast
It's a partnership in the Marvel universe no one saw coming but given the real-life friendship of "Deadpool and Wolverine" stars Ryan Reynolds and Hugh Jackman, perhaps it isn't so surprising after all.
"Deadpool & Wolverine," directed by Shawn Levy, sees the superheroes team up as mutants and the Merc with a Mouth get their official welcome to the Marvel Cinematic Universe in this first effort since Disney acquired 20th Century Fox, which owned rights to the X-Men characters.
The movie, which is part of the MCU's Phase 5, is set after the events of 2017's "Logan," the second season of "Loki" and about six years after the events of "Deadpool 2."
Brian Truitt of USA TODAY gave the movie ★★★½ , calling it "the best of the MCU outings since 'Avengers: Endgame'."
"The best of the MCU outings since “Avengers: Endgame,” the newest movie is a similarly themed spectacle about life and legacy that's more interested in the past than the future, nodding to the 20th Century Fox Marvel films and others that kept the superhero fires burning until Iron Man and the Avengers came along," Truitt wrote in his review.
Reynolds, in an interview with USA TODAY, had said that their main goal was “to just deliver a straight fastball of joy right into whatever the hell chunk of your brain creates serotonin and allow people to feel that, because everybody's life has been a mishmash of weirdness over the last many years – maybe the last thousand.”
Here's a look at cast of "Deadpool vs. Wolverine" and the characters they play.
'Deadpool & Wolverine': What to know before you see the Marvel sequel
Ryan Reynolds as Deadpool / Wade Wilson
Deadpool, initially introduced Wade Wilson, is a foul-mouthed mercenary who, opts for a shady program that promises to heal him after he gets diagnosed with terminal cancer. However, during the program he is tortured by the villainous Ajax until his body mutates and receives self-healing powers, turning him into a mutant.
In the new film, Wilson has given up his antihero gig to sell used cars, though he yearns to be an Avenger. He’s plucked from his Earth by the Time Variance Authority and given a chance to be a good guy like Iron Man and Captain America. But when his loved ones are threatened, Deadpool partners with “the worst” Wolverine, a multiversal version of the beloved character who failed his world.
Interview: Why Ryan Reynolds, Hugh Jackman hope 'Deadpool & Wolverine' is a 'fastball of joy'
Hugh Jackman as Wolverine / Logan
Marvel describes Logan as "a mutant with an unstoppable healing power, adamantium metal claws and no-nonsense attitude."
Jackman, who had earlier retired the character in 2017 with the film "Logan," reprised the character for the film, albeit in a different universe.
Blake Lively as Ladypool
Lively, on Friday, finally put rest to all those rumors (see: Taylor Swift) over who Lady Deadpool is, with an Instagram post, which she signed off writing "XOXO - LP."
While details over the character are limited, it is likely that Ladypool is a variant of Deadpool, similar to Dogpool.

Emma Corrin as Cassandra Nova
Emma Corrin plays the telepathic supervillain Cassandra Nova in "Deadpool & Wolverine." She is the icy and powerful twin sister of the X-Men’s Professor X and the head honcho of the Void who can root around in someone’s mind with her fingers. She and her minions are a dangerous bunch.

Matthew Macfadyen as Mr. Paradox
Mr. Paradox is an agent of the Time Variance Authority.
Macfadyen, in an interview with ScreenRant , described his character as "a sort of mid-management, slightly frustrated man."
"I'm worrying about saying too much," Macfadyen said. "Disney are very strict, but he's got a sort of weird, angry, ugly energy to him, and he's quite charming as well, so yeah, he's an interesting character."
Morena Baccarin as Vanessa
Morena Baccarin is Deadpool’s love interest, Vanessa.
Rob Delaney as Peter
Peter is a former member of the X-Force and one of Wade's friend.
Leslie Uggams as Blind AI
Blind AI is also one of Wade's friends along with being his roommate.

SXSW Film Review: '6 Years' Reviewed at ICM screening room, Century City, Calif., March 12, 2015. (In SXSW Film Festival — competing.)
6 Years is perhaps the smartest exploration of youthful romance that you'll see this year. Both lead actors are superb, delivering painfully naturalistic performances, and Fidell just keeps getting better, leaving one eager to see what she'll do next. Reviewed on: 27 Aug 2015
6 Years offers little in the way of new material. Yet Fidell, working with executive producers Mark and Jay Duplass, effectively broadens her range by borrowing the sibling directors' improvisatory style and ceding control to her two leads, whose heartbreaking performances imbue this familiar Austin-set narrative with a fiery edge.
Lots of drinking, incl. Parents need to know that 6 Years is an indie romance about college love that's definitely not for kids. Sex and relationships are the main themes, and there are multiple sex scenes, a lot of talk about sex, and a short pornography clip that shows full-female nudity. Profanity abounds, with "f--k" and "s--t"….
In her previous film, A Teacher, writer-director Hannah Fidell examined the unconventional affair between a high-school teacher and her student. The filmmaker continues her focus on forbidden relationships in 6 Years when a long-term romance gets tested by betrayal and a new job opportunity.With an improvised script, small-name actors, and a naturalistic relationship, it's no surprise that ...
