Two of some of the only mainstream R-rated superhero movies, "Logan" and both "Deadpool" films, arrived on Disney+ today.
It's fitting that both Hugh Jackman's final film in the "X-Men" series, the Oscar-nominated "Logan," is joining the streaming service alongside Ryan Reynolds' red-suited "Merc with the Mouth."
On screen, Deadpool's frenemy relationship with Wolverine mirrors that of Reynolds and his pal Jackman's one-upmanship online.

In fact, the opening of "Deadpool 2" shows the character winding up a toy immortalizing Jackman's death scene from "Logan."
Thanks to some creative editing, the two characters even share an after-credits scene in that movie, when Deadpool goes back in time and executes Reynolds' poorly executed original incarnation of the character, as seen in the widely panned "X-Men Origins: Wolverine."
"Big fan," he tells Jackman's razor-clawed hero.

"Logan" and the "Deadpool" movies will be made available thanks to parental controls that were installed when Disney+ acquired the mature-rated Netflix hero shows, including "Daredevil," "Luke Cage" and "Jessica Jones."
A subscription to Disney+ costs $7.99 per month or $79.99 per year, and a bundle consisting of Disney+, Hulu and ESPN+ costs $13.99 per month.
Disney is the parent company of ABC News.
