Deadpool 2 is a 2018 American superhero film based on the Marvel Comics character Deadpool, distributed by 20th Century Fox. It is the eleventh installment in the X-Men film series and a sequel to the 2016 film Deadpool. The film is directed by David Leitch from a script by Rhett Reese, Paul Wernick, and Ryan Reynolds, with Reynolds starring in the title role alongside Josh Brolin, Morena Baccarin, Julian Dennison, Zazie Beetz, T.J. Miller, Brianna Hildebrand, and Jack Kesy. In the film, Deadpool forms the team X-Force to protect a young mutant from Cable.

Plans for a sequel to Deadpool began before that film's release, and were confirmed in February 2016. Though the original creative team of Reynolds, Reese, Wernick, and director Tim Miller were quickly set to return for the second film, Miller left the project in October 2016 due to creative differences with Reynolds, and was soon replaced by Leitch. An extensive casting search took place to fill the role of Cable, with Brolin ultimately being cast. Filming took place in British Columbia, Canada, from June to October 2017.

Deadpool 2 premiered at Leicester Square in London on May 10, 2018 and is scheduled to be released in the United States on May 18, 2018. The film received generally positive reviews from critics, who praised its humour and action sequences, with some calling it better than the first film, although the perceived ethnic stereotyping of supporting characters and a feeling of cynicism drew some criticism.[2][3]

Plot

Two years after the events of the first film, Deadpool/Wade Wilson had become a worldwide working mercenary killing various criminals and other people, including the head of a drug operation in his home city which he at first fails to kill. He later returns home to his girlfriend Vanessa Carlysle to celebrate their anniversary, when Vanessa says she's ready to start a family with him. Later that night the drug lord attacks Wade at his home and in the process Vanessa dies. Wade chases the criminal through the streets and embraces him on the road as a truck runs into them and kills the drug lord.

Six weeks later Deadpool decides to kill himself by blowing up their apartment with several barrels of explosives (which is how the film starts). During his 'death' Wade has a vision of Vanessa in the afterlife version of their apartment where she says his heart is not the right place; leaving Wade confused. Later Colossus arrives and brings Wade back to the Xavier Mansion in an attempt to recruit Deadpool into the X-Men and help him get through his grief. Deadpool, Colossus and Negasonic Teenage Warhead respond to a situation involving a young mutant called Russell Collins, who can produce extremely high temperatures from his hand and set surrounding objects on fire (calling himself Firefirst) who enters on an aggravated state in front of the mutant orphanage he lives at. After several failed attempts to calm down Russell, Wade discovers that the headmaster and staff of the orphanage abused him physically and ends up shooting one of the staff; this leads to both Deadpool's and Russell's arrest, whereupon they are restrained with collars that pacify their mutant powers; including Deadpool's healing factor which lets the cancer return and slowly kill Wade.

Wade and Russell are taken to the Icebox; an isolated mutant prison that houses several dozen mutant criminals wearing the same collars. During their incarceration the facility is broken into by Cable, a cybernetic mutant from the future that arrives in the 21st century to kill Russell, who Wade tries to save. Wade manages to throw himself and Cable out of the prison while Russell stays inside. Wade has another vision of Vanessa who helps him realise that he has a chance to save the boy and redeem himself for not being able to save Vanessa.

Wade organises a team of other mutants with Weasel to fight Cable and save Russell, which consists of Domino, Bedlam, Shatterstar, Zeitgeist, Vanisher and Peter (a normal human) who he calls X-Force. Together they launch their assault on a prison truck transporting the prisoners and Russell to a new site by leaping from a plane and parachuting in, though all but Deadpool and Domino die in the landing due to various accidents. Domino infiltrates the truck but encounters Cable who launches his assault and tries to kill Russell. During the fight on the truck between Deadpool and Cable, Russell manages to free the Juggernaut who devastates the truck escapes with Russell, who wants to kill the headmaster of the orphanage who tortured him due to his mutant abilities. Cable decides to team up with Deadpool after realising the Juggernaut is free and both of them are about to kill Russell's first kill, who in the future becomes a murderous criminal that kills Cable's family (his reason for travelling back to the past). Deadpool agrees to help Cable if he gives him the chance to talk to Russell and prevent him killing the headmaster.

Deadpool, Cable and Domino arrive at the orphanage to stop Russell and the Juggernaut but face difficulty fighting the latter; proving too powerful to handle. However Colossus arrives and distracts him long enough for Cable and Deadpool to catch up with Russell; eventually being defeated by Colossus, Negasonic Teenage Warhead and her girlfriend Yukio. Cable and Deadpool manage to reach Russell before he has a chance to kill the headmaster and Deadpool tries his best to talk him down; even putting on the collar to cease his healing factor. Cable prepares to take a shot at Russell after realising he's close to making his first kill but Deadpool leaps in front of the bullet and saves him. After a long death Wade eventually dies and succeeds in saving Russell, who loses his desire for revenge and the burned teddy Cable has been carrying that belonged to his daughter returns to normal; signifying his family never died. Wade returns to the vision and reunites with Vanessa, who later explains it's not his time and they will meet again. Feeling sorry for Deadpool, he travels back in time to before the fight (which he could only do one more time to travel back home) and places a coin he took from Deadpool earlier which stopped the bullet that would kill him. The team walk off after the headmaster is run over by by Dopinder after shouting his anti-mutant remarks at them.

During the mid-credits Deadpool gets Negasonic Teenage Warhead and Yukio to modify Cable's time-travelling device to perform several tasks, including saving Vanessa and Peter from their deaths and shooting Deadpool in X-Men Origins: Wolverine and Ryan Reynolds after he reads the movie script for the Green Lantern film.

Cast

Leslie Uggams and Karan Soni also return from the first film as Deadpool's elderly roommate Blind Al and the taxi driver Dopinder, respectively.[6][7] Shioli Kutsuna appears as Yukio, a member of the X-Men and the girlfriend of Negasonic Teenage Warhead, and Eddie Marsan appears as the headmaster of the orphanage.[8][9] The X-Force team also includes Terry Crews as Bedlam,[10][11] Lewis Tan as Shatterstar,[12] Bill Skarsgård as Zeitgeist,[13], Rob Delaney as Peter,[11] and Brad Pitt as Telford Porter / Vanisher.[14][15] Additionally, among several post-credits scenes, Hugh Jackman appears as James Howlett / Logan / Wolverine in a new scene involving time-travel through use of archive footage from X-Men Origins: Wolverine.[16]

Production

Development

Producer Simon Kinberg revealed in September 2015 that discussions had begun regarding ideas for a sequel to Deadpool, which was set to be released in February 2016. One idea was for the film to introduce the character Cable, who had previously been looked at to appear in the first Deadpool, and X-Men: Days of Future Past (2014) before that.[17] Cable's inclusion in the potential sequel was confirmed by the character Deadpool while breaking the fourth wall in the post-credit scene of the first film. Domino, a character with connections to Cable in the comics, was also believed to be featured in the sequel.[18] By the first film's release, 20th Century Fox had green-lit a sequel, with writers Rhett Reese and Paul Wernick returning to write the screenplay. Though director Tim Miller and producer/star Ryan Reynolds were not confirmed for the sequel at the time, Fox was "intent on keeping the creative team together".[19] Miller and Reynolds' involvement was confirmed at the 2016 CinemaCon that April,[20] though Miller had still not formally signed on to direct the sequel yet. He began work developing the script with the writers, while Reynolds had signed a new contract granting him "casting approval and other creative controls".[21]

It has to tonally and stylistically be as fresh and original [as the first film]. That's a big challenge especially because they had 10 years to gestate on the first movie and we don't have that kind of time on the second movie. That's the biggest mandate going [into] the second film ... we have to resist the temptation to make it bigger.

—Producer Simon Kinberg on approaching Deadpool 2[22]

In June 2016, Kinberg expected filming to begin at the beginning of 2017.[23] By August, Kyle Chandler was believed to be in the running to portray Cable.[24] Testing of actresses for Domino had also begun by October, with the shortlist of actresses under consideration including Lizzy Caplan, Mary Elizabeth Winstead, Sienna Miller, Sofia Boutella, Stephanie Sigman, Sylvia Hoeks, Mackenzie Davis, Ruby Rose, Eve Hewson, and Kelly Rohrbach.[25] The producers were particularly interested in casting a black or Latina actress in the role.[26]

At the end of October, Miller left the film over "mutual creative differences" with Reynolds,[27] reportedly based on several factors, including Reynolds' expanded creative control over the sequel; Miller's wish for a more stylized follow-up than the first film, versus Reynolds' focus "on the raunchy comedy style that earned the first movie its R rating"; and Miller's intention to cast Chandler as Cable, which Reynolds opposed. Fox ultimately backed "its marketable star" over Miller, who had made his directorial debut with the first film.[21] Miller denied this report,[28] while Reynolds said he could only add that "I'm sad to see him off the film. Tim's brilliant and nobody worked harder on Deadpool than he did."[29] A week after Miller's departure, Fox was looking at David Leitch, Drew Goddard, Magnus Martens, and Rupert Sanders as potential replacements for the director.[30][31] Leitch was the "strong frontrunner" for the role,[32] and signed on a month later.[31] Reynolds, a fan of Leitch's John Wick, said the director "really understands those Deadpool sensibilities and where we need to take the franchise", and "can make a movie on an ultra tight minimal budget look like it was shot for 10–15 times what it cost."[22]

Writing

Co-writer Rhett Reese said the film sets up X-Force, though that is not the driving point of the story.[33]

The first completed draft from Wernick and Reese was expected around June 2016,[23] and they had completed multiple drafts of the script by January 2017, saying, "It's taken different twists and turns, but it's really coalescing".[34] The pair felt a responsibility to explore the team X-Force, which includes Deadpool, Cable, and Domino in the comics, with Reese saying the sequel's purpose "is not to set up X-Force [but] it will likely set up X-Force."[33] He did clarify that though the film will be "populated with a lot of characters ... it is still Deadpool's movie",[34] and that the film would not be exploring the details of Cable's convoluted comic origins.[35] By the next month, it had been noted that there had been few announcements from Fox regarding the film, and that a release date had not yet been set which was seen as unusual for sequels to popular films (often studios "announce sequels far too soon and with no idea what will happen"), with the issue deemed to be the film's script. Reynolds, Reese, and Wernick had been "bunkered down, working on the script together, trying to cross the finish line and create something everyone is excited to make". At that time, Goddard joined the project to consult on the script.[36]

Deadpool 2 is set "more or less" when the first film ends, and focuses on "an existential crisis and a deeply personal cause" for Deadpool which was also an important element of the first film; Leitch felt that retaining these personal stakes was far more compelling for audiences than trying to build the film around global stakes.[37] Following the announcement of the proposed acquisition of 21st Century Fox by Disney in December 2017, the film includes several Disney related jokes including a running gag about the Disney film Frozen (2013). However, Fox did make the producers remove a joke from the film that directly acknowledged the deal, which Reynolds said "was a wise decision".[38]

Pre-production

Reese and Wernick confirmed in January 2017 that Stefan Kapičić's Colossus, Brianna Hildebrand's Negasonic Teenage Warhead, and Karan Soni's Dopinder would be returning from the first film to "make at least an appearance".[39][7] By the beginning of March 2017, Michael Shannon had been in the running to portray Cable, but no longer could due to a scheduling conflict.[40] David Harbour had screen-tested for the role,[41] and Pierce Brosnan was believed to be in negotiations for a part in the film, potentially Cable.[42] Reynolds announced shortly after that Zazie Beetz had been cast as Domino.[26] Shannon was in the running to portray Cable again later in the month, and was considered the frontrunner ahead of a shortlist that also included Harbour.[43] Brad Pitt was also considered for the role, but had "moved on".[44] Leitch soon addressed the potential casting of these actors, saying Shannon "would make an incredible Cable ... If that happens, I would be through the roof";[45] and on Pitt, "We had a great meeting with Brad, he was incredibly interested in the property. Things didn't work out schedule-wise [but] I think he would've made an amazing Cable."[46] At the end of March, Morena Baccarin confirmed her return from the first film as Vanessa, and expressed interest in exploring the character's Copycat persona from the comics in the sequel.[4] Josh Brolin emerged as a "surprise contender" to play Cable in April, ahead of Shannon and Harbour, and was officially cast in the role. Brolin also portrays the Marvel Comics character Thanos, in the Marvel Cinematic Universe.[47]

Also in April, Leslie Uggams confirmed that she would be reprising her role of Blind Al from the first film,[6] while Fox gave the sequel a June 1, 2018 release date.[48] Noting the release date, Leitch wanted to ensure that the film "was worthy of a summer tentpole movie, and we knew we were going to be wedged in between some big films", specifically wanting to expand the action and make the general feeling of the film "bigger" than the first one. However, he wanted the film to have the same DNA as the original "in terms of the tone, and the fun ... I love that challenge" of combining that with the increased scope. The film uses Deadpool's fourth wall-breaking to reference this release period, with Leitch calling these comments "definitely fresh and timely when they come up."[49] In May 2017, Fox was reportedly looking to use a post-credits scene at the end of Deadpool 2 to introduce several other members of X-Force who would go on to star alongside Reynolds, Brolin, and Beetz in an X-Force film. Casting for the characters—Sunspot, Feral, and Shatterstar—would take place over the coming months, though Reese denied the accuracy of this report.[50] Later, T.J. Miller confirmed that he would return from the first film as Weasel, and described the sequel as "even more weaselicious" than the first. He noted that Reynolds and the writers had "really put the time in on the script" to meet their own expectations for the sequel as well as those of fans.[5] Jack Kesy also joined the cast, as Black Tom Cassidy.[51] In June, Shioli Kutsuna was cast in a key role for the film.[8]

Filming

Initial filming had begun by June 17, 2017, at Hatley Castle in Victoria, Canada, which is used to portray the X-Mansion in the X-Men films.[52] Principal photography began in Vancouver on June 26, under the working title Love Machine.[53][54][55] Jonathan Sela served as cinematographer for the film.[55] At the end of June, Reynolds revealed that Julian Dennison had been cast in the film.[56] The next month, T.J. Miller said that he found the sequel to be funnier than the first film, and that "it's not going to be the same movie in a different location [like The Hangover Part II]. It's got different stakes, different things happen, some pretty tragic, dark shit happens in the first part of the film, in the beginning, and the rest of the film is kind of dealing with that."[57] By then, Kapičić had been working with Leitch on the set, and expected to continue contributing to Colossus through to April 2018.[58]

An accident during filming on location at Shaw Tower in Vancouver caused the death of stunt woman Joi Harris.

On August 14, stunt woman Joi "SJ" Harris died in a motorcycle accident after losing control and crashing into Shaw Tower. Harris, the first African-American female professional road racer, was working on the film as a stunt performer for the first time and had only joined the production a week before. Harris was not wearing a helmet because the character she was portraying, Domino, does not wear one in the scene, and there had not been time since she joined the film to create one for her to fit underneath the Domino wig. She had two full days of rehearsing the stunt as well as five more attempts on the day of the accident.[59][60] Veteran stunt double Melissa Stubbs had been available and willing to do the stunt, but the inexperienced Harris was preferred due to her skin color being a match for Beetz. This decision was criticized by multiple stunt professionals, with many noting that Harris' experiences racing motorcycles did not necessarily qualify her as an able stunt performer.[61] Production was shut down immediately after the incident, but resumed two days later. With this news also came reports that the film's crew were "enduring very long hours" and were "exhausted by the schedule", with the studio confirming that some days had increased from the scheduled 12–13 hours filming to over 15 hours.[59][60]

Earlier in August, Reynolds revealed that Rob Delaney was at the film's set,[62] and Eddie Marsan revealed later in the month that he was also on set for a role in the film.[9] Filming in Vancouver was expected to last until October 6,[53] with production on Deadpool 2 being officially completed on October 14.[63] Discussing the film's action, having previously worked as a stunt coordinator, Leitch said that all stunts are "variations on a theme" with the same basic elements, but Deadpool allows you to "subvert those basics, and there's an expectation for a classic gag, but oops, maybe you get something else." He also felt that introducing Domino gave the film unique opportunities for action sequences taking advantage of her luck-based abilities, as well as focusing on Deadpool's healing abilities and trying to use those to create interesting action.[49]

Post-production

Fox revealed in November that the film was technically untitled at that point, and not officially known as Deadpool 2 as had been assumed; the studio was temporarily referring to the film as The Untitled Deadpool Sequel.[64] Sexual misconduct allegations against T.J. Miller surfaced a month later, and by January 2018 some commentators had called for Miller to be replaced in the film in a similar manner to how Kevin Spacey was replaced by Christopher Plummer through reshoots in All the Money in the World (2017). Producer Lauren Shuler Donner addressed whether this would be possible, saying "We're in the final editing. I don't think so."[65] Miller was later arrested for calling in a false bomb threat; Reynolds would not comment on either issues, but stated that Miller would not be appearing in the X-Force film.[37] Also in January, the film's release was moved up to May 18, 2018.[66]

In February 2018, Terry Crews was revealed to have a role in the film,[10] the character Shatterstar was confirmed to be appearing,[67] and the production returned to Vancouver for six days of reshoots under a new working title, Daisy.[68][69] Some reports emerged by mid-March claiming that these reshoots were due to poor audience responses during test screenings of the film, and consisted of sweeping changes.[70] However, the film was soon confirmed to be testing better than the original did, up to 98 out of 100 over three different tests (compared to a maximum score of 91 during tests of the first film). Because of this, the reshoots were adding more of the elements that audiences responded positively to, including additional material featuring Cable and Domino.[70][69] By the end of the month, two hours of filming had taken place in Los Angeles for a then-secret cameo appearance,[69] and the film's first full trailer was released.[11] Officially titling the film Deadpool 2,[71] the trailer also revealed that Crews was portraying Bedlam; confirmed that Delaney would appear, portraying Peter; and that Bill Skarsgård also had a role.[11] The film's final trailer, released a month later, confirmed that Lewis Tan would portray Shatterstar, joining Domino, Bedlam, and Peter as members of X-Force.[12] The group also includes Skarsgård's character, revealed to be Zeitgeist.[13]

Music

Deadpool composer Junkie XL chose not to return for the sequel due to Tim Miller's departure.[72] In October 2017, Tyler Bates was hired to write the score for the film.[73] The 12-track soundtrack for the film will be released on May 18, 2018, including two new songs: "Ashes" by Céline Dion and "Welcome to the Party" by Diplo, French Montana and Lil Pump.[74] Dion's "Ashes" was released as the lead single on May 3, 2018, along with a music video of the vocalist singing the song, and Deadpool dancing an interpretive dance beside her. Following the completion of the song, the titular hero proceeds to critique her singing as being 'too good' for a Deadpool movie.[75]

Marketing

For the Fox presentation at CineEurope 2017 in June, Reynolds made a video message featuring himself in costume as Deadpool from the film's set.[76] The first teaser poster, which pays homage to Norman Rockwell's 1943 painting Freedom from Want, was released that November. Justin Carter of Comic Book Resources found it "oddly appropriate for Deadpool 2 to co-opt [this] iconic work for a modern pop culture audience" as it is "true to Deadpool's incredibly referential nature."[77] Eric Diaz of Nerdist said, "It strikes exactly the irreverent tone you'd expect for the Deadpool sequel."[78] The first footage from the film debuted the following week, at the end of a video where Reynolds (in-character as Deadpool) parodies Bob Ross and his television show The Joy of Painting.[79][80] The video was described by The Hollywood Reporter's Ryan Parker as "completely out of left field" and setting the tone perfectly for the film, though his colleague Graeme McMillan was less positive due to not knowing of Ross (Deadpool co-creator Fabian Nicieza thought the fact that many in the audience wouldn't know of Ross made the video "exactly the kind of quirky pop culture choice that works perfectly for Deadpool"). Parker added, "This trailer only showed a few seconds from the film, but fans will be talking about it all day" because of the presentation, unlike "any other trailer which would have shown so little of the product."[81]

Rather than pay for an expensive advertisement spot during Super Bowl LII, the film's official Twitter account was used to "live tweet" the event with commentary as if the character Deadpool was watching it.[82] A new trailer for the film was released later that week, focusing on introducing Cable. Parker felt that "Reynolds and company have completely changed the trailer game. The formula of just showing some of the actual movie, but with a tiny story thrown in is such an incredible marketing idea." McMillan and their colleague Aaron Couch praised the trailer playing on the visual effects for Cable's arm not being finished, noting it as a joke about the visual effects to remove Henry Cavill's mustache from Justice League. The group collectively praised the overall marketing for the franchise, with McMillan suggesting that the campaign for the sequel may surpass that of the first Deadpool.[10] A full trailer for the film, explaining its general plot, was released at the end of March. Forbes contributor Scott Mendelson called it "pretty funny and mostly entertaining", but was disappointed in it being a "conventional" trailer compared to the more out-there videos previously released for the film. He explained that he thought the first film "had a winning lead character and fine character-centric jokes, but a pretty generic origin story plot that eventually became the thing it was critiquing", and was concerned that the sequel would turn out to be "a more standard 'superhero sequel' sell". Mendelson also noted the inclusion of T.J. Miller in the trailer following the reveal of sexual misconduct allegations against the actor in late 2017, calling it "inevitable no matter how tarnished his reputation might be these days."[83] The Hollywood Reporter group also noted the more traditional style of the trailer, but remained generally positive about the film and highlighted the supporting cast for the film as appearing in the trailer, including Brolin, Beetz, Kutsuna, and Crews.[84]

Also in March, a Twitter account was established for the character Peter and began to be regularly updated with "tweets" about his interests, including photos of the character beekeeping and preparing for his work as part of the X-Force team (as seen in the film).[85][86] A month later, Fox released the final trailer for the film, with Mendelson lamenting that it was as "conventional" as the previous trailer but finding it understandable that Fox not be seen to be hiding the film, and ultimately felt that the trailer indicated the film would be "a pretty solid comic book sequel".[87] The group at The Hollywood Reporter praised the final trailer as well, highlighting its references to X-Men Origins: Wolverine and the DC universe as well as its introduction of Peter.[88] At the end of April, Leitch stated that alternate versions of jokes that had been cut from the film were included in the trailers, since "only one can live in the movie, so we might have snuck a couple in sort of additional materials that people can discover."[49] As part of a promotion for the film with beverage company Mike's Harder, Sister Margaret’s School for Wayward Girls—the fictional bar featured in the films—will be emulated in pop-ups at the Alligator Lounge in New York from April 26–28 and the Slipper Clutch in Los Angeles from May 10–12. The pop-ups will respectively serve pizza and chimichangas, traditionally Deadpool's favorite food, as well as Deadpool-inspired Harder drinks. The campaign also includes the chance to win a trip to the film's premiere through Harder, and the Los Angeles pop-up will benefit the nonprofit DTLA Film Festival.[89]

Release

Deadpool 2 premiered at Leicester Square in London on May 10, 2018.[90] It is set to be released in the United States on May 18, 2018.[66] It was previously scheduled for a June 1 release, but was moved up in January 2018.[48][64]

Reception

Box office projections

Initial box office projections for the film in March 2018 expected it to gross $100 million over its opening weekend in the United States and Canada, with a final domestic total expected to be lower than that of the first film ($363 million) at around $242 million.[91] On April 20, 2018, both Fandango and Regal Cinemas announced that Deadpool 2 was the best pre-selling R-rated film in their respective histories.[92] By April 26, opening weekend industry projections had reached upwards of $150 million.[93] The film will play in 4,332 theaters, setting the record for widest R-rated release ever (beating the 4,103 count by It in September 2017). Worldwide the film is expected to make $305–350 million over its opening weekend.[94]

Critical response

On review aggregator website Rotten Tomatoes, the film holds an approval rating of 86% based on 118 reviews, and an average rating of 7.2/10. The website's critical consensus reads, "Though it threatens to buckle under the weight of its meta gags, Deadpool 2 is a gory, gleeful lampoon of the superhero genre buoyed by Ryan Reynolds' undeniable charm."[95] On Metacritic, which assigns a normalized rating to reviews, the film has a weighted average score 68 out of 100, based 43 critics, indicating "generally favorable reviews".[96]

Richard Roeper of the Chicago Sun-Times gave the film 3.5 out of 4 stars, jokingly calling it the best sequel since The Godfather Part II and saying: "Deadpool 2 is wicked, dark fun from start to finish, with some twisted and very funny special effects, cool production elements [and] terrific ensemble work."[97] PopMatters writer J.R. Kinnard wrote: "If you enjoyed the guilty pleasures of Deadpool, it's an immutable law of Physics that you will love Deadpool 2. The second verse may be the same as the first, but that verse is a dirty limerick of childish goodness."[98]

Michael Phillips of the Chicago Tribune gave the film 3 out of 4 stars and wrote, "Deadpool 2 is just like Deadpool only more so. It's actually a fair bit better—funnier, more inventive than the 2016 smash...and more consistent in its chosen tone and style: ultraviolent screwball comedy."[99] Alex Hudson of Exclaim! lauded the film, saying "Much like in the Marvel Studios universe, Deadpool 2 serves to unite superheroes into a cohesive narrative arc, setting the stage for plenty of cross-pollination in the future. Assuming that more films follow in the series, this sets the bar high."[100]

Future

By November 2016, with development underway on Deadpool 2, Fox was also planning Deadpool 3, which was said to include the team X-Force.[101] With the confirmation that Leitch would direct Deadpool 2, it was revealed that Fox was looking for a separate filmmaker to direct Deadpool 3.[31] In March 2017, Reese clarified that though Deadpool 2 sets-up the X-Force team, a future film focused on the team would be separate from Deadpool 3, "so I think we'll be able to take two paths. [X-Force] is where we're launching something bigger, but then [Deadpool 3 is] where we're contracting and staying personal and small."[102] After the proposed acquisition of 21st Century Fox by Disney was announced in December 2017, Disney CEO Bob Iger said that Deadpool would be integrated with the Marvel Cinematic Universe under Disney,[103] and that the company would be willing to make future R-rated Deadpool films "as long as we let the audiences know what's coming".[104] In May 2018, Reynolds stated that a third Deadpool film may not be made given the franchise's shift of focus to X-Force.[105] Reynolds later confirmed that T.J. Miller will not return as Weasel.[37]
