K’naan is the extraordinary Canadian-Somalian songwriter who made headlines in 2009 with the song, “Wavin’ Flag.”

The record became an international hit when Coca Cola used it for the 2010 FiFA World Soccer Games. K’naan’s album also became a hit and he was established around the world.

Now K’naan has the hottest indie movie coming to the Toronto Film Festival. He wrote and directed “Mother Mother,” which has just been added to the TIFF Discovery section of International films. Among its listed producers are writer-directors Jenny Lumet and Alex Kurtzman. CAA is behind it. I sense good things are happening here.

Also added to TIFF Discovery films are movies from Argentina, Bangladesh, Colombia, Denmark, Greece, India, Italy, Kosovo, Nigeria, Romania, Somalia, Spain, Switzerland, Thailand, and Ukraine.

Chloe Sevigny stars in a remake of the French film, “Bonjour Tristesse.”

What would the plot of “Deadpool and Wolverine” be anyway? They aren’t rivals. Their stars — Ryan Reynolds and Hugh Jackman — are friends with a huge social media following. Plus Wolverine died in the movie, “Logan.”

So “D&W” is a MAD magazine send up of Marvel. It’s hilariously funny but it’s also more a souvenir, a victory lap rather than actual movie.

Here’s the headline: there is no Lady Deadpool. That was a canard made up for clickbait. Neither Blake Lively nor Taylor Swift is in the movie. But everybody else in the world is, it seems!

Here’s the deal: Wade Wilson aka Deadpool can’t get a job. He wants to join The Avengers, so he gets a meeting with Jon Favreau, aka Happy Hogan, who works for Tony Stark (even though Tony is dead). Hogan turns him down but not before there’s a lot of tongue in cheek banter about what Stark’s aide de camp actually does for the Avengers. There’s a lot banter in this movie.

Eventually, the movie’s idea reveals itself. Deadpool is recruited by the Timeline Department of Marvel. This is a joke because with all the multiverses, characters have now existed in many iterations, alive, dead, who knows what. Deadpool must go and find the right iteration of Wolverine to help him earn his stripes and rescue the world from the latest enemy. That happens to be Emma Corrin, former Princess Diana from “The Crown,” who is now the long lost sister of Charles Xavier from “X Men.”

What happens next, in lieu of an actual movie, is a hoot. Just as MAD Magazine might do, Deadpool and Wolverine run into a gang of 2nd tier Marvel superheroes who never got second movies, or franchises, or any respect. They are the miscellaneous Marvelites. They bring with them a ton of inside wink wink jokes about their characters, the actors who play them, the movies they were in, and so on. They break the fourth wall and maybe the fifth, delivering enough Easter eggs to fill several baskets.

Not that “D&W” is all talk, although Deadpool is still a motor mouth. Wolverine is an action hero, and there is plenty of it to counterpoint the chitchat. As they battle each other, and others, the special effects are outrageously good. It’s rated R, but the violence is cartoonish enough that Reynolds and Lively’s four young daughters were in the audience at the premiere.

But this so MAD magazine. A lot of the fun centers around Disney — home of Marvel — having bought and killed off 20th Century Fox, which had the X Men movies. Because the companies merged in real life, Deadpool and Wolverine can finally be in a buddy movie.

This point is driven home quite often. When the guys happen into a set that looks like “Mad Max” meets “Planet of the Apes,” the 20th Century Fox logo is sinking into the sand, just a ruin of its former glory. (Wait for the penultimate credits, which feature an emotional farewell to the “X Men” movies.)

Reynolds and Jackman are like Bob Hope and Bing Crosby on The Road to Marvel. They never miss a beat. Their comic timing is flawless. For Reynolds especially, the quipping never ends. At one point, Deadpool suggests Wolverine perform the second act of “The Music Man” — in which Jackman starred on Broadway. I wish the big screen had had closed captions. But you will hear jokes about Jackman’s real life divorce, Ben Affleck and Jennifer Garner’s, and so on. There were a couple of gasps in the movie theater when some it went too far. But the jokes stop short of anything hurtful. It’s all in fun.

The soundtrack is composed of 80s hits, a la “Guardians of the Galaxy.” The big set piece is Madonna’s “Like a Prayer.” Writer Patrick Leonard should be getting a huge check as that song could mount a chart Renaissance. There’s also Huey Lewis and the News, and lots more.

Mark my words. “D&W” will make $200 million in less than 10 days. Maybe more, sooner. Marvel Universe fans will go back ten times to see their world lampooned. But it doesn’t take three hours. Director Shawn Levy manages to keep this very concise. There’s no fat. (I’d love to see the outtakes.) It’s two hours, with half of it devoted to character exposition including the great Leslie Uggams now making their appearance as the raunchy Blind Al.

Will there be a sequel? I’ll tell you this: now that Wolverine has been resurrected in some form, the sky’s the limit.

By all means, as this duo often says, “Let’s f***ing go!” And definitely pick up the specially designed popcorn bucket.

PS This is the only Marvel movie this year, after many failures since the final Avengers film. Enjoy it like a big dessert.

Disney’s #DeadpoolAndWolverine premiere last night in New York was like a midsummer Halloween party.

The studio says Madoona was there but no one saw her (she didn’t mix with the hoi polloi). She may have been dressed like some of the guests, as a comic book character or a ketchup or mustard bottle.

Aside from the cast, the audience at The Koch Theater in Lincoln Center comprised. randomly, Jimmy Fallon, Avril Lavigne, members of Nsync, and Rami Malek (who sneaked in a side entrance and avoided the red carpet — his girlfriend, Emma Corrin, plays the bald baddie sister of an X Man). There were a lot of self described influencers. I did have the great pleasure of meeting Sunny Hostin from “The View.” She’s going with Beshear for vice president, she told me.

The biggest hit of the night? The custom plastic popcorn buckets, designed by Ryan Reynolds. Only problem: the ears kept falling off the superhero heads. But the hole in the center wax a good place to hide the sample bottles of Reynolds’ Aviation gin!

Reviews this afternoon of this MAD magazine parody of a Marvel movie. Lots of cameos. Wink wink jokes, and Easter eggs galore!
