Filed Under: Deadpool 2

Deadpool 2 is basically the first film turned up to 11 in every respect, and that means more jokes, more action, more fourth wall-breaking, more cameos and more pop culture references than you can shake a katana at.

Once again, the plot is fairly straightforward - but that doesn't mean there aren't one or two unexpected twists and turns along the way.

Below, we take a closer look at all of the major moments and reveals, along with most (there are honestly too many to mention) of The Merc With a Mouth's digs and asides. Be warned, though, of you haven't seen the movie yet, we will be SPOILING the shit out of it.

To view all of the moments at once, simply click on the VIEW LIST (ONE PAGE) button below!

Deadpool Blows Himself Up In The Opening Scene

The movie begins with Wade smoking a cigarette while doing everything he can to make his apartment as explosive as possible.

Yep, you see where this is going.

Determined not to be outdone by Wolverine being killed-off in Logan, The Merc promises us that he'll also be buying the farm before blowing himself (we're dispensing with the obvious Arrested Development gags) to kingdom come.

Vanessa Doesn't Last Very Long

Then, we find out why Wade was so determined to end his life.

After a flashback to our hero messily dispatching various scumbags, 'Pool returns home to his lovely lady. Unfortunately, one of said scumbags survives and tracks down his would-be killer. After a shootout which leaves most of the bad guys dead, Vanessa catches a bullet in the chest, killing her instantly.

Cut to hilarious James Bond-inspired opening credits with bonus Celine Dion tune.

Turns Out There Are Other X-Men in The X-Mansion After All

After Colossus gathers his unkillable pal's bits 'n pieces together, we see Wade recuperating in the X-Mansion.

When the metal mutant once again tries to convince Wilson to join the X-Men, he launches into another rant about how he only ever sees Colossus and Negasonic in the building, and pleads with the studio to let them utilise a few more members of the team.

Then, in one of the funniest shots of the movie, we see rest of the X-Men having a meeting in another room before Beast stealthily closes the doors so Deadpool won't hear them.

Cable Is Pretty Cool, But Don't Expect To learn Much About Him

As expected, Cable's rather convoluted comic book origins are largely ignored and he's given a far more straightforward backstory.

This version of the character is from the future, but there's no mention of his familial ties, Mister Sinister, the techno-organic virus or any of that stuff. All we know is that Cable travels back in time to kill the younger Russel, aka Firefist, because in the future timeline the highly unstable older version of the character incinerates Cable's wife and child.

Oh, we do find out that his daughter is named Hope, so there's that.

Don't Get Too Attached To X-Force

At least, the majority of 'em.

Soon after Deadpool puts his "super-duper [frick]in' group" together we're treated to the film's most blackly hilarious sequence, as the newly assembled members of X-Force parachute down to an armored convoy in an attempt to rescue Russell. Unfortunately, most of them don't make it because strong winds (which Wade was warned about beforehand) blow them off course to meet various gruesome deaths.

Bedlam flies headfirst into a bus, Shatterstar is diced by a helicopter, Zeitgeist winds up being sucked into some kind of garbage truck, and Peter is killed by the mutant's acid vomit while trying to pull him out. And then there's The Vanisher...

Is that... Brad Pitt?

Turns out, that big cameo we heard about wasn't Hugh Jackman after all.

The Vanisher is an invisible member of X-Force who dies when he gets tangled up in some electric cables after parachuting out with the others. He materialises as he's being electrocuted, and we get a very brief glimpse of Brad Pitt's face.

Honestly, this is so blink-and-you'll miss it that most of the people at my screening seemed to do just that. The only reason I noticed is that I was told to keep an eye on the actor that plays Vanisher beforehand!

Nothing Can Stop The Juggernaut... Not Even Slightly Ropy CGI

Yes, the rumors were true. Once the survivors of the parachute massacre (Wade and Domino) reach the convoy, Russel's new pal The Juggernaut joins the fray and instantly rips Deadpool in half before leaving with his young friend.

While Juggy's character design is fine, the CGI used to bring him to life leaves a lot to be desired. Obviously budgetary constraints have to be taken into account - but how is it that Colossus looks so much better by comparison?

At any rate, the big guy is still a welcome addition to the franchise and is involved in a truly awesome scrap with Colossus... even if it ends a little strangely!

Deadpool Dies... Again

Yes, ol' Wade Wilson is true to his word and checks out at the end of the movie when he sacrifices himself to save Russel.

Cable promises 'Pool 30 seconds to try to stop the young firebug from killing his despicable former headmaster and starting down the path that leads to him murdering Cable's family. Try as he might, Wade can't reach the boy and winds up jumping in front of Cable's bullet while wearing an inhibitor collar to show the troubled lad that he really cares.

Okay, so Cable ultimately decides to travel back and stick a coin in Wade's pocket to stop the bullet - but still, The Merc gets his emotional death scene and we get more than a few hilarious "final" words.

So. Many. References

Again, if we were to list all of Deadpool's little quips, asides, references and fourth wall-breaks we'd be here all day, so just take our word that the ones you know about from the trailers only scratch the surface.

Wade throws shade at the DCEU (several times), the other X-movies, The MCU (several times) Marvel Comics, Marvel writers, and so much more. There's even a gag about that Guy Pearce movie The Proposition - and it's bloody funny!

It's actually surprising that they were able to get away with some of 'em, but you'll be very glad they did.

Mid-Credits Madness

You've probably already heard that Deadpool 2 features one of the best mid-credits sequences yet, and it's absolutely true.

There are actually two. In the first we see Negasonic and Yukio fixing Cable time-travel device and giving it to Wade, who uses it to do... well, pretty much what you'd expect him to.

After travelling back to save Vanessa (and Peter for good measure), Deadpool drops in on X-Men Origins: Wolverine and "cleans up the timeline" by hilariously executing "Barakapool" right in from of Hugh Jackman's Logan. It's only stock footage, of course, but it works brilliantly.

Finally, we cut to Ryan Reynolds excitedly opening his script for Green Lantern before Wade blows his head off, which is even funnier than it sounds!

I was worrying for nothing, loved every second of this movie! :D

RageDriver2401 - 5/17/2018, 4:14 AM

So Raymond Reddington is not the real Raymond Reddington, Spader is an imposter. Finally revealed.

enemyisyou - 5/17/2018, 10:38 AM

@RageDriver2401 - You asshole.

CaptainElrond - 5/17/2018, 4:23 AM

Wait they killed off peter?

MrJoshua327 - 5/17/2018, 4:26 AM

@MrBillCipher - yes but he’s the only member of X-Force that Deadpool goes back to save during the credits.

Stinkor1 - 5/17/2018, 4:23 AM

Which version of the X-men does it show? The actual guys from the newer movies? Or new versions of them?

MrJoshua327 - 5/17/2018, 4:27 AM

@Stinkor1 - it’s basically the cast of X-Men Apocalypse

MarkCassidy - 5/17/2018, 4:27 AM

@Stinkor1 - Honestly, it was such a quick flash that I couldn't tell. Pretty sure I saw Evan Peters as Quicksilver but that's it.

CaptainElrond - 5/17/2018, 4:30 AM

@MrJoshua327 - Oh no, not those idiots.

Stinkor1 - 5/17/2018, 4:32 AM

@MrJoshua327 - damn. That would be awesome if it was comic accurate versions. Even if it was a bunch of no names playing them.

MrJoshua327 - 5/17/2018, 4:39 AM

@Stinkor1 - it’s a funny scene that lasts about 2 seconds. I saw McAvoy, Even Peters, and Beast but missed the rest because it was so quick but you can telll it’s them.

CaptainElrond - 5/17/2018, 4:31 AM

Apart from a slight shock this sounds pretty good.

CaptainElrond - 5/17/2018, 4:44 AM

Is there any refrences to looper, because the plot sounds like looper?

Frshcoupe - 5/17/2018, 5:01 AM

Movie was meh. Idk if I’m spoiled from Infinity War or what but the movie was just too much. The references to other movies was too much. I actually got sick of Reynolds by the time it was over. The first one was just right. Wish it was that amount of jokes and wall breaking but just more action not more of everything.

thetrojan - 5/17/2018, 5:09 AM

I saw it last night,IT WAS A BLAST!!!!!!

In my opinion it is just as good as Infinity Wars,but bent at a different 'angle'.

The cinema was full,I have not seen that for a while.
The audience even attempted applause at the end.

Deadpool will not make a third movie next but will be in a serious team-up while remaining true to character.-I hope.

aflynn - 5/17/2018, 5:34 AM

@thetrojan - "Attempted applause at the end"

OmegaDaGrodd - 5/17/2018, 5:42 AM

@aflynn - Now I'm genuinely curious. Did they attempt applause but failed? Did they succeed? Was it one of those times where one or two people start clapping and other people who didn't expect to clap start trying to clap but by the time they start the first guys stopped cause they thought no one would join in, so now they never get that clapping momentum needed to get everyone to clap?

I feel like I need the rest of the story here

sickboy76 - 5/17/2018, 5:10 AM

Really enjoyed it, but felt it suffered from airplane 2/ naked gun 2.5 syndrome where they double down on same gag a little bit too much. That being said don't think any end credits sequence was as funny especially when the music started
