After years of trying and many months of feverish speculation “Deadpool & Wolverine” is here at least. The movie opens in theaters nationwide Thursday and is poised to earn at least $160 million in ticket sales. Filmmaker Shawn Levy, a friend of stars Ryan Reynolds and Hugh Jackman, has been blown away by the rumors and anticipation for the team-up. Levy, in an interview with The Associated Press in April promised that no homework was required to enjoy the movie, which was inspired by classic two-handers like  “Midnight Run” and “48 Hours.”
