The first film was a shockingly huge hit for the studio when it arrived in February 2016 as it raked in $783 million worldwide and broke some records for an R-Rated film. The 2018 sequel currently stands at $785 million worldwide. With just under $1.6 billion for the two films and a slew of merchandise, it’s a no-brainer that there would be more.
Directed by David Leitch, the sequel stars Ryan Reynolds as Deadpool, Zazie Beetz as Domino, Emma Corrin, and Josh Brolin as Cable.
Original concept: After surviving a near-fatal bovine attack, a disfigured cafeteria chef (Wade Wilson) struggles to fulfill his dream of becoming Mayberry’s hottest bartender while also learning to cope with his lost sense of taste. Searching to regain his spice for life, as well as a flux capacitor, Wade must battle ninjas, the yakuza, and a pack of sexually aggressive canines, as he journeys around the world to discover the importance of family, friendship, and flavor – finding a new taste for adventure and earning the coveted coffee mug title of World’s Best Lover.
