Director Tim Miller stages the commentary as insolent rebelliousness, though it’s really all just a desperate, and futile, attempt to be different. It’s surprising that Reynolds would do a movie like Deadpool (or a studio would let him) considering his face is literally covered, and he’s nearly doing a voice-over performance as Deadpool (Reynolds isn’t as physically distinct as some actors, so I honestly have no idea how much of Deadpool is played by him).

A post-credit video after the “Deadpool” movie confirmed the sequel and according to Movie Pilot, the Merc with a Mouth himself confirmed that they will be having Cable, another comic book hero from Marvel. While the names Deathstroke and Deadpool share a common (death) theme, Nicieza went one step further in coming up with Deadpool’s secret identity: Wade Wilson, as he ended up being called, is eerily close to Deathstroke’s alter ego of Slade Wilson. There are a lot more pieces that have to come together before we can say Deadpool 2 is officially happening.
The Keira Knightley crack was probably a joke, especially considering how much everyone involved appreciates fidelity to the comics, but I, for one, would love to see a female Cable.
Despite the elan and self-preservationist nature he exhibits, repeatedly shows his real heroic self when the situation demands it. It’s important to note he usually does this without thinking twice which also speaks volumes about the character.
We’re thrown right into the fray as a fully formed and costumed Deadpool (Ryan Reynolds) cracks wise during a freeway action scene that sees him slice up and blow away numerous goons.
The final story in this collection is the first issue of Deadpool, the initial regular title back in the late 90’s.
The fight between Deadpool and Sasquatch was enjoyable to read and was really brought out by Deadpool’s absent-minded humor. Anyone who wants to see Deadpool take on the KKK? But more importantly, he understands the tone needed to pull this film off. Even if it does well enough to earn a sequel, Deadpool might not be a character I’m willing to put any more time into.
