Deadpool 2 is a 2018 American superhero film based upon the Marvel Comics character Deadpool.
It is the eleventh installment in the X-Men film series, and is the sequel to 2016's Deadpool. The film
was directed by David Leitch from a screenplay by Rhett Reese, Paul Wernick, and Ryan Reynolds,
who stars 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 X-Force to protect a
young mutant from the time-traveling soldier Cable.
Plans for a sequel to Deadpool began before the original 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 cast. Filming took place in British
Columbia from June to October 2017. The film is dedicated to stuntwoman Joi "SJ" Harris, who died
in a motorcycle accident during filming.
Deadpool 2 was released in the United States on May 18, 2018 by 20th Century Fox. The film
outgrossed its predecessor, earning over $786 million worldwide, becoming the ninth-highest-
grossing film of 2018, the highest-grossing film in the X-Men series, as well as the highest-grossing
R-rated film. The film received positive reviews from critics, who praised its humor, cast
performances, story and action sequences but criticized its tone and script. A PG-13-rated version of
the film, titled Once Upon a Deadpool, was released on December 12, 2018 to mixed reviews.
Following the acquisition of 21st Century Fox by Disney, a third Deadpool film, set in the Marvel
Cinematic Universe, is currently under development at Marvel Studios.
