After a quality zinger in the original Deadpool ( “And don’t make the suit green. Ryan Reynolds is being way too hard on himself. Reader, this is where I have to throw caution to the wind and lose your respect. And, uh, now Ryan’s got some therapeutic closure on his Green Lantern decision.” But we needed Green Lantern And then, we threw that on there because we thought it was fun and what the heck we’re going to do it? So now at least we could use Vanessa in the future. “We wanted the movie to stand alone without the idea that it was all just gonna be undone by a time machine. Deadpool ends the actor’s life quicker than he can say “Oa.” This is definitely what Hal Jordan meant by “in blackest night.”
A second jump puts him in the warmly lit den of one Ryan Reynolds, who’s clutching a script for what will be his big break: The Green Lantern. If that weren’t enough, Deadpool walks over Weapon XI’s bleeding corpse to enter yet another corner of superhero-movie spacetime. ”We started going down the laundry list of what people would change,” screenwriter Rhett Reese tells Polygon, “and of course, Ryan raised his hand and said, ‘Well, I’ve got to change some career choices of my own.’” To backtrack to X-Men Origins, Deadpool 2 spliced the Reynold’s current turn as the Merc with a Mouth into the actual footage, a true F-you that required Hugh Jackman’s permission. With a single shot to the head - then another shot and another shot and another shot - Weapon XI is dead, the real Deadpool giggling over his body, triumphant. With a few alterations from Negasonic Teenage Warhead, the Apple iTimejumper sends Wade back to Three Mile Island, just as Wolverine and the samurai-sword-brandishing hybrid begin to duke it out. A post-credit scene on that movie found Wade’s decapitated head coming back to life, which felt more like a threat than a tease.īut now, thanks to Cable’s spiffy time-traveling device, Deadpool has his revenge against William Stryker, 20th Century Fox, and everyone involved with the Frankensteined tragedy that was Weapon XI.
They also sewed his mouth shut, just to make sure fans of the comics hated X-Men Origins’ climax as much as humanly possible.

Deadpool-ish, who possess the original character’s quick-healing abilities, plus Cyclops’s optic blasts and the ability to teleport. Hugh Jackman’s standalone vehicle swapped Deadpool’s leather zip-up for a red tank top and some longswords, and quickly killed off Wade … only to revive him as Weapon XI a.k.a. 2009’s X-Men Origins: Wolverine saw the first, and what many fans assumed to be the last, appearance of Reynolds as Wade Wilson. To fully appreciate the magnitude of Deadpool 2’s post-credits scenes, we have to relive some horrible memories.

While full of self-referential, superhero-movie-lampooning gags and surprisingly solid action (it is “from the director of John Wick,” after all), it’s the movie’s extended post-credit stinger that delivers on a demise that fans have subconsciously been waiting for since the announcement that Ryan Reynolds would go under the mask to play the character. Deadpool 2 makes good on a number of promises - the introduction of Cable, the formation of X-Force, Deadpool intruding into the X-Mansion, Peter - and the fan servicing seems to be paying off the movie earned better reviews than 2016’s Deadpool and raked in $300 million worldwide over its opening weekend, enough to dethrone Avengers: Infinity War from the number one spot.
