Disney's $556.8 Million Cost For Deadpool & Wolverine

Disney's financial controller Tracy Bermingham wrote in the earnings report that "at the year-end, the production was complete, final costs exceeded the production budget." The report covers the year to October 31, 2025, a period that ended 15 months after the film's debut, and shows $23.1 million (£17.6 million) spent during that time.

The movie was largely shot at Pinewood Studios outside London, and the U.K. production company Richmond Street Productions UK files the earnings report. Disney received $110.7 million (£86.5 million) in tax credits and reimbursement, bringing net spending to $446.1 million. The film stars Ryan Reynolds and Hugh Jackman, with cameos from Chris Evans, Henry Cavill and Channing Tatum, and was directed by Shawn Levy.

Bermingham also wrote that Disney's "approach encourages the involvement of local industries and enables us to support the communities around us." A Disney spokesperson told the reporter that "there will be other income generated by the production (such as DVD/Blu Ray sales, merchandising, etc.). It's not reflecting a true account of whether the film was overall profitable."
